Engine data for the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2006 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2006 carries 350 gallons versus 300 gallons in the Stamas 326 Aegean Outboard 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
