The Layout is built for families and weekends

The Monterey 296 was designed for people who actually use their boats. The wide 10-foot beam gives you real living space, the mid-cabin layout sleeps 6 comfortably across two private cabins, and the convertible dinette adds even more flexibility. The walk-through windshield means getting to the bow is safe and effortless, no climbing over rails with kids or guests on board.

Below decks you’ll find a fully equipped galley with microwave, dual-voltage refrigerator, alcohol/electric stove, and sink, plus an enclosed head with shower and reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat throughout.

16 years. Same owner. Shrink-wrapped professionally every single winter without exception. That kind of consistency tells you everything about how this boat was cared for. The 2022 survey backs it up, clean bilge, strong systems, good condition inside and out. The fresh bottom work was just completed, meaning the next owner walks into a boat that is genuinely ready for the water with absolutely nothing left to do.
