2013 Monterey 224FS

The 2013 Monterey 224FS is a 22-foot bow rider built on a fiberglass hull with an 8.6-foot beam. Powered by a single 300-horsepower MerCruiser gas engine, it has logged 189 hours and weighs 3,500 pounds dry. The boat handles well and carries enough fuel—55 gallons—for full-day outings on the water.

The layout centers on water sports and casual cruising. A fold-down tower supports a pair of wakeboard racks for towed activities. The fiberglass swim platform, stainless steel rub rail, and forward and aft pull-up cleats support safe boarding and docking. Docking lights are included. Entertainment comes from six speakers, and a depth finder aids navigation.
