Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 250CR 2010 vs Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 250CR 2010 vs Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 measures 37,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 250CR 2010 at 27,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 104 lbs less than the Monterey 250CR 2010 at 61 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 has a 105-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 250CR 2010 carries 77 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006. 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 350 Sport Yacht 2006 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 at 37,0 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.
