Monterey 328SS 2013 vs Monterey 340SY 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Monterey 328SS 2013 against a modified vee Monterey 340SY 2011 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Monterey 340SY 2011 measures 35,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 328SS 2013 at 32,2 feet (2013). At 97 lbs and 142 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 55-hp advantage over the Monterey 340SY 2011'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 328SS 2013 carries 142 gallons versus 21 gallons in the Monterey 340SY 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 2011 at 35,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 328SS 2013 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.
