Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stamas 267 Tarpon Inboard 2012 vs Stamas 340 Express Outboard 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stamas 267 Tarpon Inboard 2012 against a modified vee Stamas 340 Express Outboard 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 Stamas 340 Express Outboard 2011 measures 41,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 14,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas 267 Tarpon Inboard 2012 at 26,6 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 267 Tarpon Inboard 2012 tips the scales at 579 lbs — 441 lbs more than the Stamas 340 Express Outboard 2011 at 138 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 340 Express Outboard 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stamas 267 Tarpon Inboard 2012 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stamas 340 Express Outboard 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stamas 340 Express Outboard 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 41,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stamas 267 Tarpon Inboard 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
