Monterey 264FS 2013 vs Monterey 320SY 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Monterey 264FS 2013 against a modified vee Monterey 320SY 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Monterey 320SY 2011 measures 33,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 7,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 264FS 2013 at 26,6 feet (2013). At 52 lbs and 132 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Monterey 264FS 2013 has a 105-hp advantage over the Monterey 320SY 2011'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 320SY 2011 carries 18 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Monterey 264FS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Monterey 320SY 2011 at 33,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 264FS 2013 at 26,6 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.
