    Or I should say soon to be.....

     

    I just ordered a 2009 260SCR which is now being produced! I cant wait for it to arrive & the warm weather to hit here in NJ.

     

    I've been boating since I'm 13 years old. My family has had many many boats throughout the years which I've always operated but this will be MY first boat (Im 32 now).

     

    Options I went with:

    • Merc 300HP 350MAG w/ Bravo III
    • Radar Arch
    • AC w/reverse heat
    • Prewired for windlass
    • Cockpit carpet
    • Sold Dinette Table
    • 15" Flat Panel TV
    • Sun Island Seating
    • Cockpit Cover
    • Remote Control Spotlight
    • Sapphire Blue exterior color
    • Sahara Interior
    Im going to do the electronics on my own once I take delivery.

     

    Does anyone currently own this new model or have any advice for me as a new Monterey owner?

     

    The name of the boat will be my screen name: "Salvation Summer". There is a lot of meaning behind it since I just got divorced last summer. This boat will be my new salvation come summer time. My 2 daughters are gonna LOVE IT!

     

     

    My name is Lee, btw!

    Just load the boat on the water, leave it there for a week, haul it and you will see where the water-line is, it will be very visible.

     

     

    yes that`s what my dealer told me to do and few other old salts at the marine but cant find any volunteers to stand in boat for weeks time very scientific..

    I`m trying to calculated where the water line is on this boat ....my marine friends say that i have to load the boat up and mark with crayon where the line is ....there has got to be a more scientific calculation like figuring out displacement etc ...maybe the `most` could get back to me thks

     

     

    hi John havent figured it out yet but I looked at some boat pics and might just have to do it myself as maybe noone at monterey can figure it out yet....i`m using interlux micron bottom coat 5-6 coats alternating colors and interlux micron csc 2-3 coats this is ablative type and surprise ! I got someone at Whity marine to do it for me spring 2009 ...rgds larry

    Here's a link to the video that I found on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPoj9swYIoA

    I'm thinking of moving up from a 2005 Monterey 248 LSC. I just sea trialed the boat yesterday and Monterey has hit a home run with this one! I'm trying to figure out how they can get this high level of performance from a 29 ft. boat with a 375 HP single engine pushing 8200 lbs. The boat is near perfect with one exception: the head is not fully "standup," with less than 5'10" of headroom. However, the fit and finish, materials, design and ergonomics are all top notch. Now if only the stock market would rebound....

     

    thks ! that`s a nice pic! ....I wont get mine till next spring....didnt get the sun island cause over saftey issues with 3 year old granson that might jump around while I`m moving ....took one for test drive with 320 hp penta got about 30mph @3300rpm....bought the merc 320 with bravo3 instead from Huntsville marine ....rgds

    Hi LarryD,

     

     

    Congratulations on your new 280SCR.

     

    What engine and options have you selected.I hope, you are very happy with this cruiser.

    How many hrs. of cruising have you logged by now. Where did you purchase the 280SCR.

     

    Thank's John

    Lake Huron/Ontario.

    I had a 270CR 2007 and moved to a 290 CR (relabeled a 300) 2009 this year. What I love about the new 280 is that it gives you the extra beam and maintains the port side lounger. We loved having the lounger but wanted the extra beam. The new sun lounger is also a big plus. We really have enjoyed it on our new 290/300 and it does not take away from the swim platform in any significant way. Enjoy your 280. From your fellow Canuck on the Rideau.

     

     

    thks ...getting boat in spring ...see me on utube search under monteray boats test ride 280scr
