Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 264FSX 2012 vs Monterey 385 SE 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 264FSX 2012 vs Monterey 385 SE 2022 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 425 hp, the Monterey 264FSX 2012 has a 125-hp advantage over the Monterey 385 SE 2022's 300-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 385 SE 2022 carries 25 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Monterey 264FSX 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Monterey 385 SE 2022 at 37,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 264FSX 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.
