Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 264FSC 2012 vs Monterey 328SS 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Monterey 264FSC 2012 against a modified vee Monterey 328SS 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 425 hp for the Monterey 264FSC 2012 and 430 hp for the Monterey 328SS 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 328SS 2011 carries 142 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Monterey 264FSC 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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 264FSC 2012 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.
