The Monterey 264FSX 2013 vs Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 measures 37,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 10,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 264FSX 2013 at 26,6 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 113 lbs less than the Monterey 264FSX 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 264FSX 2013 and 425 hp for the Monterey 350 Sport Yacht 2006. 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 350 Sport Yacht 2006 carries 23 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Monterey 264FSX 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
