2007 Stamas 320 Express

Step down into the cabin and you’ll see why the 320 Express has such a loyal following. There’s real headroom, a proper galley, and a dinette that converts for overnight runs to the reefs or canyons. On deck, the wide beam gives you a stable, confidence-inspiring platform, with deep gunwales and a secure cockpit for working a fish around the stern. The raised helm keeps sightlines clear in a chop, and the hardtop with enclosure means you can push through squalls without taking a beating. Thoughtful touches—like easy engine access, plenty of dry storage for gear, and a large fishbox—make this a boat you can actually live with week after week, not just admire at the dock.

In these waters, conditions change quickly—one minute it’s a glassy run offshore, the next you’re in a tight inlet with swirling current. The 320 Express is built for exactly that mix. Its hull has the weight and deadrise to soften an afternoon chop, while the outboard configuration lets you run skinny enough for nearshore reefs and sandbars. The enclosed helm and comfortable cabin turn early-morning runs and late returns into relaxed rides instead of endurance tests. Add in the big cockpit and serious fishability, and you’ve got a platform that can chase pelagics offshore, then slide back inside for a comfortable evening on the hook.
