When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Stamas 310 Express Inboard 2007 and the Stamas 340 Tarpon Outboard 2007 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Stamas 310 Express Inboard 2007 at 32,0 ft versus Stamas 340 Tarpon Outboard 2007 at 34,0 ft. At 105 lbs and 14 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 310 Express Inboard 2007 carries a rated maximum of 500 hp. Engine data for the Stamas 340 Tarpon Outboard 2007 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
