Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 276 1995 vs Monterey 400SY 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 276 1995 vs Monterey 400SY 2012 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 435 hp, the Monterey 400SY 2012 has a 75-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.
The Monterey 276 1995 is rated for up to 8 people. Passenger data for the Monterey 400SY 2012 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Monterey 400SY 2012 at 41,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 276 1995 at 29,0 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.
