  1. Are they acrylic? I had to replace the car console doors on my 268SS and I bought the acrylic from boat outfitters (www.boatoutfitters.com) and ordered the seafoam plexiglass acrylic sheet. I had the dimensions from a Montery Spec drawing and they sent me a rough cut out. If you have a Regal Plastics in your area they will cut it very cheap. My 2 doors were $40 to cut and they are odd shapes.

     

    If not it will cut with a table saw and a fine tooth blade...

     

    Hope this helps...


  2. I just purchased a Montery boat and it was 15 degrees on the water when I did my sea trial. I would never purchase a boat w/o a seat trial unless your getting a warranty. If I ended up not buying the boat I would have had to pay to re-winterize the boat, but its absolutley worth the risk. Re-winterization is cheaper than a new engine. At a minimum buy a compression test kit ($30) and test the compression your self. Check with the dealer what is should be and all cylinders should be very close......

     

    My opinion, hope it goes well...

    I've been a boat owner since 2005. Always had new 24-26 foot open bows. Looking to move up to bigger boat. I've located a 2006 Monterey 298 sc with about 75 hours close by. Original owner with Volvo 5.7 Gxi DP. The boat is very well cared for. It's a brokerage boat not located at the dealer. I've contact a marine surveyor to complete an inspection but having difficulty finding a marine mechanic that will travel to the boat for an engine check.
    Would appreciate your thoughts. It's January and 10 degrees so a sea trial is many months away. If an offer is written and accepted the dealer will bring the boat in for a complete inspection. Thoughts on the dealer completing at least a compression check on the engines? Offer will be written subject to satisfactory marine survey.
    ThanksI
