1998 Monterey 276 V Berth

Recommended Posts

Just bought - new to me. Had it about an hour when it had to go into winter storage. 2 questions. (1) Must have over looked, but I do not see the cusions that convert the V - Berth from a table. Where can I buy these? Can I order replacements. Also, I had the boat checked out by a surveyor. He told me that boat had 250 hours on it, confirmed by the meter. Unfortunately, I never checked this, and now I can not find an hour meter. It is definitely no at the helm. Could it be anywhere else?

 

 

 

Thanks for your help

Hi there,

 

Mine's a 296 from the same year. Don't see much regarding us older boats. Hour meters didn't come standard and are an aftermarket add-on. Mine are fitted under the enginebay doors.

 

Good luck

I know on a Merc package a dealer can read the ECM on the engine and tell what the actual engine hours are, I assume a volvo would be the same. Hope that helps.

Hello traderdavel,

 

The upholstery patterns and materials are no longer available from the original vendor. Your best bet is to have some made at a local upholstery shop. You will get a good fit and a good color match also.

 

Check with your Monterey dealer, marina or marine supply stores for a list of recommended sub-contractors or shops.

 

Typically, marine upholstery, vinyls and fabrics are available for about 3 to 5 years.

Revitalizing this. I'm hoping one of the owners on this forum would either have, (and looking to sell), the fill cushions to create the Vberth or would know where I could but these. I can probably make them if necessary, but would rather get the real thing.
