Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 250CR 2010 vs Monterey 328SS 2011 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Monterey 250CR 2010 and the Monterey 328SS 2011 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 430 hp, the Monterey 328SS 2011 has a 110-hp advantage over the Monterey 250CR 2010's 320-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Monterey 328SS 2011 carries 142 gallons versus 77 gallons in the Monterey 250CR 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Monterey 250CR 2010 is rated for up to 1 people. Passenger data for the Monterey 328SS 2011 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Monterey 328SS 2011 at 32,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 250CR 2010 at 27,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
