Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stamas 289 Aegean Outboard 2012 vs Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stamas 289 Aegean Outboard 2012 against a modified vee Stamas 326 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.

At 62 lbs and 1 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Engine data for the Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stamas 289 Aegean Outboard 2012 carries 204 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 could be the deciding factor.
