Matching a deep vee Stamas 345 Aegean Inboard 2012 against a modified vee Stamas Predator 308 2011 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 345 Aegean Inboard 2012 measures 34,4 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stamas Predator 308 2011 at 30,7 feet (2011).

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.

The Stamas Predator 308 2011 tops out at 300 hp. 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 Predator 308 2011 carries 275 gallons versus 24 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Stamas 345 Aegean Inboard 2012 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Stamas Predator 308 2011 caps at 9.
