Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Stamas 290 Express Inboard 2007 vs Stamas 362 Aegean Inboard 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Stamas 290 Express Inboard 2007 against a deep vee Stamas 362 Aegean 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Stamas 362 Aegean Inboard 2012 measures 36,2 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 5,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas 290 Express Inboard 2007 at 31,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 362 Aegean Inboard 2012 tips the scales at 18 155 lbs — 18 087 lbs less than the Stamas 290 Express Inboard 2007 at 68 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 290 Express Inboard 2007 carries a rated maximum of 500 hp. Engine data for the Stamas 362 Aegean 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 290 Express Inboard 2007 carries 208 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Stamas 362 Aegean Inboard 2012. 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 362 Aegean Inboard 2012 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stamas 290 Express Inboard 2007 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stamas 362 Aegean Inboard 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Stamas 362 Aegean Inboard 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 36,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stamas 290 Express Inboard 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
