Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 268 SS Super Sport 2006 vs Monterey 276 1995 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 268 SS Super Sport 2006 vs Monterey 276 1995 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 268 SS Super Sport 2006 has a 65-hp advantage over the Monterey 276 1995's 360-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Monterey 276 1995 at 29,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 268 SS Super Sport 2006 at 26,0 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.
