Both the Stamas 340 Tarpon 2009 and the Stamas 370 Express Inboard 2010 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Stamas 370 Express Inboard 2010 measures 39,2 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas 340 Tarpon 2009 at 36,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 370 Express Inboard 2010 tips the scales at 21 130 lbs - 6 530 lbs less than the Stamas 340 Tarpon 2009 at 14 600 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.
