Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stamas 250 Tarpon 2010 vs Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Stamas 250 Tarpon 2010 against a deep vee Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 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 Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 measures 36,2 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 9,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas 250 Tarpon 2010 at 26,6 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 250 Tarpon 2010 tips the scales at 549 lbs — 400 lbs more than the Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 at 149 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stamas 250 Tarpon 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 36,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stamas 250 Tarpon 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
