Excellent 295SY! Nicely maintained! Loaded with amenities and ready to cruise!

A boat that looks like it's moving or is impatient to get going even while lashed to the dock, the Monterey 295 Sport Yacht has the features, performance and downright good looks that cause owners to become attached to the brand.

While an excellent express cruiser in its own right, this is truly a daytime and weekend excursion fun machine, it doesn't just look the part, it delivers.

First, you've got a large, open cockpit with a U-shaped settee to starboard, the aft arm of it being a three-way convertible bench seat that allows seating facing forward, looking aft over the extended swim platform, or swings down flat for a second sun pad to augment the one on the bow.

And beneath that convertible bench is a gigantic toy box to throw in wet gear, inflatables, a beach tent, you name it, just another thoughtful addition that reduces clutter around the feet of those aboard, a place for everything and everything in its place.

At the transom is a hot and cold fresh water pull-out shower for rinsing off after a swim or getting the sand off your feet before tracking into your beautiful boat, and on the port side is a vanity bar with sink and stainless drawer-door refrigerator below for convenient dispensing of refreshments.

Overhead, all around and down below is an impressive array of speakers for the ridiculously powerful sound system, if you ever run out of fuel try cranking up the volume and seeing if those aft-facing bullet speakers on the overhead radar arch can propel you home.

At the helm the captain has a great view, not just of whoever may be stretched out in the port side passenger chaise, but outside the boat as well, and thanks to radar even at night or in fog. All controls and instruments are easy to view and operate, among them the BOW THRUSTER and windlass for easy docking and anchoring. Propelled by a 305 horsepower fuel injected Mercruiser V8 and Bravo Three twin props, top speed is around 35 MPH, handling responsive, and cruising at 25 MPH efficient and comfortable.

Down below the open staircase allows better communication between the aft berth and main cabin, and with the convertible dinette V-berth four adults can overnight comfortably, a family with two young ones even more so.

The galley to port includes another stainless drawer-door fridge, stove, sink and microwave with plenty of cabinet storage for provisions, and the generously-sized wet head to starboard has a vacu-flush toilet and vanity sink with pull-out shower head.

Overall, a great boat for a family starting out, for the party crowd, has all that is needed and then some.
