Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 385 SE 2022 vs Monterey M-22 2020 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 385 SE 2022 vs Monterey M-22 2020 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 350 hp, the Monterey M-22 2020 has a 50-hp advantage over the Monterey 385 SE 2022's 300-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 M-22 2020 carries 52 gallons versus 25 gallons in the Monterey 385 SE 2022. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Monterey 385 SE 2022 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Monterey M-22 2020 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Monterey 385 SE 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Monterey 385 SE 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 37,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Monterey M-22 2020 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
