Boat Review: Monterey 385
Boat Review: Monterey 385
By Steven Bull Reposted by Underneath the helm is the small, but very functional salon. There’s a bench directly opposite a large TV, stereo controls, microwave and fridge and a full-size bed. It’s not a fold out futon-style bench, so you have the full measure of comfort if you stay on board. Directly opposite, under the port-side console, is the separate head with fold down countertops to cover the sink.
This boat comes with many standard features, like the fibreglass hardtop, the 12-inch Raymarine Axiom, transom shower, and the 40-inch flat screen TV with Blu-Ray player. The base power package includes triple Mercury Verados and it is rated for up to three 400 hp outboard engines.
The Monterey 385 SE has an absolute ton of space for guests and, even still, has a cabin that truly is a feasible overnight berth. This is my kind of hybrid!
