2017 Monterey 298 Super Sport – Twin Mercury 250s

This 2017 Monterey 298 Super Sport is a well-kept, performance-driven bowrider that delivers an excellent balance of space, comfort, and power. Powered by twin Mercury 250HP inboard/outboard engines, this boat has plenty of punch for cruising, watersports, and offshore runs on favorable days, while still being manageable around the dock.

One of the standout features of the 298SS is its spacious layout. The bow offers deep, wraparound seating with armrests, making it comfortable for passengers underway or at anchor. The cockpit is designed for entertaining, with an L-shaped lounge, aft-facing seat, and a large sun pad over the engine compartment. Whether you’re spending the day at the sandbar or cruising with family and friends, there’s room for everyone to relax.

At the helm, the dash is clean and straightforward with excellent visibility, intuitive controls, and a comfortable helm seat with a flip-up bolster. Monterey’s 21-degree deep-V hull provides a smooth, confident ride and handles chop better than most boats in its class.

Storage is abundant throughout, including bow and cockpit storage, transom compartments, and an anchor locker. A private enclosed head adds convenience for longer days on the water, making this a true all-day boat rather than a short-run cruiser.

Overall, the Monterey 298 Super Sport is a versatile, high-quality bowrider that combines performance, comfort, and thoughtful design — ideal for owners who want a premium boat that can do it all.
