Okay, been a boater most of my life and we are in the market for a 2nd boat now, looking at a bowrider. Montery is my 1st choice, Regal my second, and he Montery has an edge on this as Im in Gainesville, FL and they build Montery boats about 40 minutes tops from me.
I am looking used, 2003-2007 in that area Bowrider 21-24 foot. Prefer Merc vs Volvo and a bravo 2 or 3 vs alpha 1.
It's kind of hard searching for the perfect Boat when your buying used as of model changes by year. I'd like to be able to hold 6-8 comfortably that pushes It up to a 24ft, I would also like an enclosed head, Not sure if Montery ever put these on the bowriders.
Got rid of My 26ft Proline WA in 2008, in 2010 I went in 3 way with my Father in Law and Uncle in Law on a 30 foot Rinker that can not be trailered. We have it mored in Jax across from Jaguar stadium.
What we are looking for now is a boat for fun on the rivers and lakes around us that I can store at my HOA facility and use at a drop of the hat.
Anyone with some knowledge of the older Montery's with what I am looking for please giving me a suggestion on what you would recomend. Not sure what size and models where available and when.
Thanks
Happy Boating!
Dave
