Go Boating Calls Monterey's 234FSX a "Mighty New Middleweight" (3/30/2006)

 

Excerpts from Go Boating's test of the new Monterey 234FSX:

 

"The new 234's have a large, integrated swim platform that's actually part of the hull mold. This means it's going to be sturdier and it's certainly going to look better than a bolted-on extended swim platform."

 

"In our opinion this boat is ideally suited for the boater who is looking for a sporty midsize runabout and is willing to pay for the quality and class Monterey has built its more than 20-year reputation on."

 

"We jumped to plane in just over 4 seconds and quickly spooled up to a top speed of 51.3 mph at 5,200 rpm. The MX 6.2 MPI MerCruiser has a wide-open-throttle operating range of 4,800 to 5,200 rpm, so we were running right there at the far end of what this engine can deliver."

 

"It was fun to drive and demonstrated wicked potential for watersports, especially if you decide to add the optional wakeboard tower to the equation."

 

"After testing Monterey craft for a number of years we've come to expect great things from this independently-owned Florida-based boat builder. The first few Montereys we got our hands on wowed us, but since then being impressed is simply what we expect."
