Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 328SS Anniversary 2011 vs Monterey 340SY 2010: Which Modified-V Boat Fits Your Needs?
Both the Monterey 328SS Anniversary 2011 and the Monterey 340SY 2010 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 430 hp, the Monterey 328SS Anniversary 2011 has a 55-hp advantage over the Monterey 340SY 2010's 375-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 340SY 2010 carries 210 gallons versus 142 gallons in the Monterey 328SS Anniversary 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Monterey 340SY 2010 at 35,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 328SS Anniversary 2011 at 32,2 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.
