It's surprising the engine compartment in the 380 is only 4" bigger. I thought it was more.
OMG is the 340 engine compartment tight! Had to pay to have the impellors changed in mine because with my bad back I sure wasn't going to chance it. And I remember getting an ear full from my mechanic every time I asked him to do it...

HI PQ guys, thanks for your input. I’m a happy owner of the 257 PQ and just wanting to upsize with an enclosed head. Does any 340Vyper owners have any input on the cockpit size compared to the 26ft PQ. And is the head OK for a human to fit into;-) I need to get on a plane and get into one.

I've been inside both the vyper and avenger and both are enormous compared to the 26 or even my 29... no comparison, the fit and finish is better along with the design. The head has plenty of room you shouldn't have any issues

I had a 340 and am now back into a 260. I think you'll be pleased with the depth and the room in the cockpit and cabin of the 340. The enclosed head was plenty big enough to use and I'm 6'. You're right, you'll have to get into one to see if it's right for you.

The 340 was great though and I do miss it when runnin on a choppy Lake Michigan. It was an '02 w/496HOs. Top speed I saw was 78.2 GPS. It had hydraulic assist and not full hydraulic steering, which you will want .
Who knows, someday I may go bigger again..
