Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 328SS 2011 vs Monterey M6 2019 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 328SS 2011 vs Monterey M6 2019 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 460 hp, the Monterey M6 2019 has a 30-hp advantage over the Monterey 328SS 2011's 430-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 328SS 2011 carries 142 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Monterey M6 2019. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Monterey 328SS 2011 at 32,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey M6 2019 at 25,1 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.
