Monterey Boats’ 2007 Fort Lauderdale show produced the highest sales volume of any show in recent years for the company, it reported in a statement today.

Monterey, which introduced five new boats for the 2008 model year, debuted its newest flagship – the 415 Sport Yacht with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system – at a press conference on the show’s opening day.

“Our booth enjoyed high traffic levels of qualified buyers throughout the show,” said Monterey Co-Chairman Charles Marshall. “With all of our exciting new models on display, including the debut of our new flagship, our knowledgeable sales people were taking orders the entire show, especially multiple orders for the 415SY. We also received many orders for all of our large cruisers and sport yachts.”
 
Club Marine First look Monterey 415 Sport Yacht Tuesday, October 30, 2007
Designed from the hull up to accommodate Volvo’s IPS system, Monterey’s 415 Sports Yacht is powered by Volvo’s twin diesel IPS 500 engines, which give the boat a car-like manoeuvrability and easy joystick-controlled docking ability, says Monterey.

The 415’s other features include an integrated hardtop and an oversized cockpit with its own BBQ and fridge. Down below, the saloon has a large convertible sofa and an open-plan galley with fridge and freezer.

TThe 415 Sports Yacht has two cabins and two toilets; a surround-sound system comes standard with a large flat screen TV and an air conditioner with reverse cycle heat.

technology. An entertainment center with pressurized water offers a convenient
sink and tap, rubbish receptacle, beverage holders and plenty of storage.
The lower cockpit boasts a sizeable U-shaped lounge with an installable table that
easily converts the seats into an outdoor fresco dining area. An extended swim
platform provides easy access for all water sport activities.
The 350 Sport Yacht’s stylish cabin comfortably sleeps six adults and now comes
standard with lay-down carpet, wood mini blinds, companionway lighted stair
treads, cedar-lined hanging lockers in both the forward stateroom and mid-cabin, a
CD changer in the salon/dinette and a 26” flat screen LCD TV with DVD/MP3

Monterey unveils all new 254 FS for 2008 Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Williston, FL – Monterey Boats is unveiling a new sport boat for the 2008 model year, the 254. This model comes in three different versions: the 254FS, FSC and FSX.

All three of these stylish sport models measure 26’ 7” with the swim platform and pack up to an optional 425 hp engine. The 254 comes with an optional adjustable aluminum radar arch, allowing you to lower it for increased bridge clearance, storing or towing needs.

The 254 features an agile frame that comfortably and safely provides room for your entire crew. Dual bucket seats with flip-up bolsters swivel to face the rear L-shaped lounge, which also doubles as a sun pad. The spacious adult-sized bow section on the FS also provides seat storage and drink holders in the gunwale, while the berth on the FSC cuddy version offers you the opportunity for a comfortable overnight stay onboard. Huge in-floor storage between the helm stations makes access to water sports equipment stress-free.

The ergonomically-designed helm station features full instrumentation with low-glare night lighting. The sleek appearance is highlighted by fog resistant gauges, backlit weatherproof switches, and a sleek black steering wheel with a silver insert. Other standard amenities include an iPOD/MP3 compatible AM/FM/CD stereo with dash-mounted remote control affixed securely in a lockable soft-touch glove box, and 25 and 48-quart carry-on coolers.

If you’re looking for the fun and excitement of the 254FS, but also want the option of staying aboard overnight, then the all-new 254FSC is for you. This cuddy version contains all the same features as the FS model, but with a convertible V-berth that sleeps two comfortably and offers storage underneath. Synthetic wood flooring lines the cabin interior, and the roomy head features a vanity with sink and pullout sprayer, molded in fiberglass countertop and a marine toilet.

The 254 FSX comes with all the same standard features that can be found on the FS model, but with a few exciting additions. Additional features include a custom graphics package, upgraded steering wheel with tilt, a transom shower with pressurized cold water, cockpit table, and a premium Kenwood satellite-ready AM/FM/CD player complete with two amps, two tweeters, four speakers and subwoofer, plus both dash and stern remotes.

Boating Life Magazine gives rave reviews to Monterey's new 220 EX Deck Boat Thursday, February 22, 2007
There is no mistaking the bloodlines of the all-new 220 EX. It is purely Monterey, with the sharp lines and accents for which the company is known. This was no easy task, either, bringing this kind of panache to a deck boat. So much of the deck-boat appeal is inside the cockpit. How do you make the cockpit of a deck boat sexy?

Recent advances in mold technology made it possible to accentuate the boat's interior with lips and grooves that carry over from the exterior. For instance, two steps lead into the bow, where you find a wraparound toe kick and two love seats instead of the traditional lounges. The bow is wide enough to pull this off, and it plays well in a boat made for entertaining. Monterey even thought to use a three-piece windshield to fit the overall appearance.

Much of the function in the 220 comes via novel ideas. The sun pad has a pull-out extension that rests on sturdy legs over the swim platform; it makes a huge lounge area, but only when needed. The ski locker is accessed through a port hatch on the rounded transom, so nobody has to carry skis into the boat--or intrude on its panache.

VITAL STATS:
Length: 21'6"
Beam: 8'6"
Dry Weight: 4,200 lb.
Fuel Cap.: 50 gal.
Max HP: 320
Seating Cap.: 11
Engine: Mercruiser 350 MAG V8
 
All New Monterey 330 rave reviews keep coming Thursday, January 18, 2007
Monterey News
Boating Magazine's 2007 Buyer's Guide features the 330 SY on its front cover (1/1/2007)

Excerpts from the 2007 Buyer's Guide issue of Boating Magazine:

... The 330 SY has about the best of everything you would expect from an express cruiser -- great luxury, performance, and construction -- plus a refreshing new interior design that will surprise you.

... The 330 SY goes head-to-head with express cruisers from the likes of Formula and Sea Ray. Really.

... I test about 40 boats a year and I rarely see such accountability. When I do, it's only among the best builders of the best boats. Welcome to the big leagues, Monterey.

Monterey Boats Receives Prestigious Volvo Penta Award Monday, September 11, 2006

WILLISTON, FL – Monterey Boats was awarded the 2006 Volvo Penta Achievement Award, for recognition of having the highest single-year unit growth of any boat builder in the United States. Monterey was presented the award at its 2007 Model Year Dealer Meeting, held at the Sanibel Harbor Resort & Spa in Ft. Myers, FL, August 26-28, 2006.

“This award really goes to all of the dealer partners in our global network, and to the 450 hard working, dedicated employees at the Monterey world headquarters,” said Charles Marshall, Co-Chairman of Monterey Boats. “We are honored that Volvo Penta recognizes that we continue to lead the industry through the design and quality of our products.”

Clint Moore, President of Volvo Penta, personally presented the award to Marshall at Monterey’s Dealer Meeting. The annual event was the most successful in the company’s history, setting new benchmarks for orders and seeing the launch of three new exciting 2007 models – the 330SY Sport Yacht, the 220EX Deck Boat, and the 214FSC Cuddy.

Monterey Boats Debuts All-New 330 Sport Yacht for 2007 Saturday, September 09, 2006
Williston, FL – Monterey Boats is unveiling the all-new 330 Sport Yacht, the latest edition to the already popular line. An overall length measuring just over 35’ from stem to stern with a swim platform, a wide, comfortable beam of 11’3” and sleek styling make the 330SY the perfect marriage of sport and style. Optional engine choices range from twin diesel 260 hp engines to twin gas 320 hp packages.

Monterey has engineered numerous unique features into this new model. The 330SY has transverse fuel tanks on center, each 105 gallons, which allows not only for a wider mid berth that can stretch from port to starboard without the hindrance of perpendicular fuel cells, but also keeping the fuel on center allows for improved handling and performance. The cabinets down below do not span all the way to the ceiling, but instead leave a few inches of room that allows the a/c vents to be completely hidden, while the return air duct is hidden under the cushioned v-berth bolster for added quiet. A flush, balanced trim runs along the top of the cabinets to add to the sleek line of the interior. Balanced use of space on the 330SY has allowed for dedicated storage compartments for everything on board, and all of the storage compartments are completely finished on the inside. Other advances include Nidacore hull sides, and an oversized bilge area that is automated and tremendously service-friendly. A person can actually stand in the bilge area and have everything within reach.

The 330SY’s oversized cockpit area features an aft U-lounge with fiberglass bases, sun island feature and storage below; a built-in chaise lounge with a contoured backrest; and dual helm/companion seating with both flip-up thigh rises and fold-down arm rests, with storage compartment underneath. The smartly-designed layout makes for easy maneuverability yet still provides an entertainment center consisting of a wet bar, a covered sink with faucet, built-in beverage coolers and a number of cup holders.

The ergonomically-designed command center of the 330SY houses a full instrumentation of navigational aids including a digital speedometer, depth/seawater temperature gauge, compass and tachometers. All of the gauges are fog-resistant and offer low-glare night lighting while the switches are waterproof and backlit. The power-assisted tilt steering wheel is black with a silver insert, and looks sharp against the contrast of the gel coated grey dash. Two 12-volt receptacles are also available for personal electronic use. All electronic connections on the 330SY are waterproofed by Deutsch. What you won’t find in the cockpit area is a breaker panel for the battery switches. This is because Monterey has engineered remote electrical battery switches, housed in the cabin’s distribution panel for added convenience.

The 330SY incorporates a luxurious interior layout that combines comfort, convenience and class. Cherry-wood mica cabinetry coupled with trim and Kardon solid surface countertops adorn an attractive full-service galley that features a stainless steel refrigerator, dual burner electric stove, microwave, stainless steel sink and even a storable coffee maker. Passengers will enjoy the immense volume available down below due to the vast, wide open layout, complete with 6’8” of spacious headroom down below, and 6’3” of stand-up room in the head, which also houses mirrored vanity storage, a Kardon solid surface vanity top and a Vacuflush head with holding tank and dockside pumpout.

The salon/dinette features a solid wood table with dedicated storage and a roomy sofa with an easy sleeper conversion. And for overnighting, the 330SY offers additional sleeping accommodations such as the mid cabin L-shaped seating arrangement that converts to a berth, a spacious island V-berth complete with storage below. A standard 26” flat screen LCD TV, DVD player and TV/telephone inlet with an arch mounted antenna will make spending time below a necessity.

Monterey Boats, a leading independent boat manufacturer, has specialized in manufacturing premier quality sport boats, deck boats and cruisers for over two decades and currently features 25 models ranging from 18’ to 38’. Monterey, with increasing sales, a pronounced world-wide dealer network and dedicated staff of employees is an industry leader in designing and building superior pleasure boats.

HF Radio UPDATE Sunday, July 07, 2002
Boaties warned about changes to radio weather broadcasts.
The New South Wales marine community is being warned to take account of changes to weather forecast transmissions which came into force yesterday.

The Bureau of Meteorology says broadcasts on HF radio have been awarded to a new radio services provider and are broadcasting from the east coast transmitter located at Charleville, in southern Queensland.

The bureau's coordinator or public marine weather services, Julie Evans, says the HF weather transmissions are now sent every four hours from 1:30am AEST.

She says it is a better service, but the reception may have changed.

"The transmissions are taking place from different transmitters, but their radio equipment may need to be re-tuned even though it's essentially the same," she said.

"There are a variety of frequencies and they may find now that it's better now to listen on one of the others.

"So it may not be identical to what they've had before, so they really ought to be testing their radios now to make sure they've got it right."

New Web Site Friday, September 28, 2001
We are very proud to introduce you to our completely newly designed web site. It offers a lot more than its predecessor, not only in much better and more attractive presentation, but mainly in the fact that the used boat section is now LIVE with our brokerage database. This means literally the minute a new boat comes on the market at SBS, it will automatically be featured on our web site as well. Please check it out. Additional features and links will become availabe in the near future.
