2016 Monterey 224FS

The 2016 Monterey 224FS is a 22-foot-9-inch fiberglass runabout powered by a single 280-horsepower Volvo Penta V6 sterndrive. Built on the Facet Series platform, the boat features a wraparound windshield, Air Assist Chine hull for reduced drag and quick planing, and an extended swim platform with spacious sun pad. The beam measures 8 feet 6 inches, and the boat weighs 3,500 pounds dry with a 55-gallon fuel capacity.

The cockpit accommodates up to 10 people across the roomy bow and main seating areas. A Bimini top with boot provides overhead shade, while abundant storage is distributed under seats, in the console, and throughout the interior. The helm features back-lit Faria gauges with stainless bezels and recessed cleats for cleanliness and safety.

The boat's construction emphasizes both performance and practicality. The sterndrive delivers smooth, reliable power with responsive throttle characteristics typical of Volvo Penta engineering. The design balances family cruising comfort with the capability to handle water sports like tubing and skiing.
