When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Diesel 2012 and the Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Gas 2012 are deep 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 392 Aegean Inboard Diesel 2012 at 39,2 ft versus Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Gas 2012 at 39,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Gas 2012 tips the scales at 16 975 lbs — 14 862 lbs less than the Stamas 392 Aegean Inboard Diesel 2012 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.
