Monterey
298 SS
2016–Current
“Monterey’s 298 SS is one of the most exotic, even elegant, bowriders we’ve tested since Cobalt debuted the A28. When we tested this boat on a choppy day offshore we were convinced by its secure dry ride.”

“The helm has a stylish dash, complete with a leather brow, and well laid out instrumentation. The captain’s seat features a flip up bolster for ease of operation in a seated or standing position.”
–Power Boating Canada
“The hull's deadrise of 22 degrees combined with the weight of nearly four tons loaded makes this a very comfortable boat in a chop.”
