Matching a modified vee Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2006 against a deep vee Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Gas 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely 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 392 Aegean Inboard Gas 2012 measures 39,2 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 3,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2006 at 36,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2006 tips the scales at 18 155 lbs — 1 180 lbs more than the Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Gas 2012 at 16 975 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 11 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.
