Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012 vs Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012 against a modified vee Stamas 340 Express Inboard 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 340 Express Inboard 2007 measures 36,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 9,4 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 340 Express Inboard 2007 tips the scales at 18 155 lbs — 18 109 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 Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012 carries a rated maximum of 400 hp. Engine data for the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2007 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 2012 carries 162 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 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 340 Express Inboard 2007 is rated for 11 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 340 Express Inboard 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 36,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stamas 267 Tarpon Outboard 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.
