Matching a modified vee Monterey 300SCR 2010 against a deep vee Monterey 328SS 2013 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Monterey 300SCR 2010 at 31,3 ft versus Monterey 328SS 2013 at 32,2 ft. At 1 lbs and 97 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 430 hp, the Monterey 328SS 2013 has a 130-hp advantage over the Monterey 300SCR 2010's 300-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 142 gal and 142 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
