lpf3420 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2011 Hi, i'm new to these forms but i recently ordered a new 204fs from a dealer. They said it was going to be a 2012 so I was wondering what was going to be different on it than the 2011 i have seen? I Can't for it to arrive! Also does anyone now if the black hulls are on all models and replaced the standard white color? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Checked out Don Hyde Maries web site... very nice 320 on there... the 2ft-itis is kicking in soon and the hubby and I are looking to go up to 33-35fter... so we're looking at Monterey, Chaparral, Cruisers & Formula... We're waiting for the dealer in our area to get the Monterey Cruisers in stock so we can have a look-see.... Right now we have a 2008 Chaparral Signature 270 & love her... but we're looking to go bigger.... and I do like the look of the Monterey Cruisers.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In our case, a 2009 Monterey. Decided on a Monterey 290 after looking at a Cruisers, Chaparell and Maxum. We were not disappointed. For us, in a 30 footer, we did not want a set berth in the bow. We preferred the open dining area/living space fore. The aft berth/lounge area converts to a double berth and we permanently keep it that way. Hope this helps in your decision.

Thanks Sophie... sounds nice !!! we're back & forth between the Chaparral Signature 330 & the Monterey 340SY - I do like the bed in the bow area... - im tired of being in the aft cabin... want a change We have the regular weaver davits on our current boat - but would definately look at the Weaver arch davits to go with a rigid hull inlatable (right now we have a soft bottom with Aluminum floor insert... but its slow.... the hubby wants a faster one .. boys... love to see some photos of you boat if you could post some, Thanks you !
