Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stamas 289 Tarpon Outboard 2012 vs Stamas 310 Tarpon 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Stamas 289 Tarpon Outboard 2012 against a modified vee Stamas 310 Tarpon 2010 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 2010 measures 32,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas 289 Tarpon Outboard 2012 at 28,8 feet (2012). At 55 lbs and 97 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.
The Stamas 289 Tarpon Outboard 2012 carries a rated maximum of 450 hp. Engine data for the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2010 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2010 carries 225 gallons versus 22 gallons in the Stamas 289 Tarpon Outboard 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 9 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Stamas 310 Tarpon 2010 at 32,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Stamas 289 Tarpon Outboard 2012 at 28,8 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
