Both the Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 and the Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Diesel 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Stamas 362 Tarpon Inboard 2012 at 36,2 ft versus Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Diesel 2012 at 39,2 ft.

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.
