Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Monterey 340SY 2013 vs Monterey 355 Sport Yacht 2017: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Monterey 340SY 2013 vs Monterey 355 Sport Yacht 2017 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 400 hp, the Monterey 340SY 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Monterey 355 Sport Yacht 2017's 350-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 210 gal and 210 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Monterey 340SY 2013 and its 400-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Monterey 355 Sport Yacht 2017 with its 350-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
