Matching a deep vee Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012 against a modified vee Stamas 310 Tarpon Outboard 2007 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 310 Tarpon Outboard 2007 measures 32,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 5,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012 at 26,6 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 310 Tarpon Outboard 2007 tips the scales at 925 lbs — 879 lbs less than the Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012 at 46 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 500 hp, the Stamas 310 Tarpon Outboard 2007 has a 100-hp advantage over the Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012's 400-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012 carries 162 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Stamas 310 Tarpon Outboard 2007. 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 Stamas 310 Tarpon Outboard 2007 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 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 310 Tarpon Outboard 2007 could be the deciding factor.
