2009 Monterey 278SS Super Sport

The 2009 Monterey 278SS is a 27-foot bowrider built on the Super Sport platform, designed for high-speed performance and entertaining large groups on the water. Powered by a MerCruiser gasoline engine capable of up to 430 horsepower, the boat reaches speeds exceeding 50 mph and incorporates Monterey's Air Assist Chine hull design to reduce drag and improve handling at speed. It carries a Yacht Certification with a 12-passenger capacity.

The layout centers on entertaining and comfort. The aft section features a convertible sun island that adjusts between sunbathing and forward-facing seating positions. The boat includes a full enclosed head compartment with sink and vanity, a wide swim platform at water level for easy re-boarding, and an extended 15-gallon fresh water tank integrated into the galley. The helm station offers ergonomic controls with quality instrumentation and premium upholstery throughout the cockpit.

The 278SS delivers the stability and feel of a larger vessel in a manageable length, making it suitable for both big-water cruising and lake conditions. The combination of power, hull design, and passenger capacity positions it as a performance cruiser focused on speed and group enjoyment.
