Both the Stamas 345 Aegean Inboard 2012 and the Stamas 362 Tarpon Outboard 2012 are deep-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?

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.

Engine specs for the Stamas 345 Aegean Inboard 2012 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Stamas 362 Tarpon Outboard 2012 carries 350 gallons versus 240 gallons in the Stamas 345 Aegean Inboard 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 12 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.
