Plucky Purcell 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 I was on the Monterey web site and it looks like the cruisers listed are 2009 models now. No sign of the 270 (that's what I have), but the "280SCR" has the 29' OAL of the 270 but with a beam up by 8" to 9' 2". I like the looks of the galley with the stacked electronics. Not sure about the seating set-up on deck though with the folding back "sun island" at the stern. Also went to a fridge on deck instead of the cooler storage. I don't know...the cooler storage is really handy. I think I'd miss it while having to power up the fridge and wait for it to cool down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The MOST 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 Hello Plucky, The beautiful 270 Cruiser is being replaced with the new beautiful 280 Cruiser (quite simply as a marketing decision) and has been very popular. The cockpit refrigerator is optional...so you can still have the storage space if you like. The adjustable stern seat works great for those who enjoy reclining while they sun worship or just for a nap. Traditional dunnage seating is also available. If you get to any of the boat shows this winter, check it out! 280_Product_Launch.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
