Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 255 SS 2020 vs Monterey 328SS 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 255 SS 2020 vs Monterey 328SS 2011 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 430 hp, the Monterey 328SS 2011 has a 80-hp advantage over the Monterey 255 SS 2020's 350-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 65 gallons in the Monterey 255 SS 2020. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Monterey 255 SS 2020 is rated for up to 7 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 255 SS 2020 at 25,8 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.
