When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 and the Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 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 320 Express Inboard 2007 at 34,0 ft versus Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 at 32,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 320 Express Inboard 2007 tips the scales at 111 lbs — 110 lbs more than the Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 at 1 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.

Both boats are rated for 10 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.
