The Monterey 2005 302CR is a stylish, affordably priced family cruiser with the features and amenities one expects in a modern express boat. Like all Monterey sportboats, she rides on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull with moderate beam and reverse chines to reduce spray. The 302’s mid-cabin interior differs from most others in her class in one important respect: instead of being open to the salon with just a curtain for privacy, the 302’s aft stateroom is fully enclosed with a solid bulkhead and cabin door. The salon may seem a little less open, but many will agree that the true privacy this layout affords is worth it. Topside, there’s a double-wide companion seat (with a reversible backrest) at the helm, a wet bar, a removable transom bench seat and an extended swim platform (optional). The side decks are narrow so the foredeck is best is accessed from the walk-through windshield. Additional features include a reverse arch, transom storage locker, tilt steering, foredeck sun pad and a removable cockpit table. A good performer, twin 280hp Volvo Penta sterndrives will deliver a cruising speed of 25 knots and a top speed of just under 40 knots. Call Don Mann Yacht Sales (209) 951-1141
