Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 vs Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 is a modified-V design and the Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 Tarpon Inboard 2012 measures 36,2 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 3,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 at 32,5 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 tips the scales at 14 900 lbs - 4 900 lbs less than the Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 at 10 000 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stamas 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Stamas 362 Tarpon 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 326 Tarpon Inboard 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
