Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2007 vs Stamas 370 Express Inboard 2008 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2007 and the Stamas 370 Express Inboard 2008 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 340 Express Inboard 2007 at 36,0 ft versus Stamas 370 Express Inboard 2008 at 39,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2007 tips the scales at 18 155 lbs — 16 042 lbs more than the Stamas 370 Express Inboard 2008 at 2 113 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.
Bottom line: The Stamas 370 Express Inboard 2008 at 39,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Stamas 340 Express Inboard 2007 at 36,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
