Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 vs Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 and the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 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 Tarpon 2008 at 32,0 ft versus Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 at 34,0 ft. At 97 lbs and 111 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 vs Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 or the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007?
The Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 is the longer of the two at 34,0 feet overall. The Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 comes in at 32,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 or the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007?
For trailering, the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 has the edge at 97 lbs dry weight versus 111 lbs for the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 is certified for 10. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 and Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 share an 11 ft. 2 in. (3.40 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 or the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007?
The Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 has the bigger tank at 225 gallons, versus 24 gallons on the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007. That 201-gallon difference translates to roughly 603–1005 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 and Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Stamas 310 Tarpon 2008 and the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 are built by Stamas. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
