Monterey 264FS 2013 vs Monterey 360SY 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Monterey 264FS 2013 against a modified vee Monterey 360SY 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 360SY 2011 measures 37,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 10,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 264FS 2013 at 26,6 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Monterey 360SY 2011 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 113 lbs less than the Monterey 264FS 2013 at 52 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 425 hp for the Monterey 264FS 2013 and 425 hp for the Monterey 360SY 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Monterey 360SY 2011 carries 23 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 360SY 2011 at 37,0 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.
