2005 Monterey Montura 218 LC Mercury 4.3L V6 3LMPLA1

RIBs For Sale are pleased to be branching out into the world of hard boats by representing this fine Monterey 218LC on behalf of the current owner. She is a great example of the brand, built in Florida USA, the Monterey’s have always been known for their build quality and attention to detail. This 6.4m sports version offers the ability to cruise the Solent and beyond with her comfy forward cabin and on-board facilities.

The layout is ergonomically designed to cater for those family days in the Solent, the transom boarding ladder leads onto the bathing platform, hop over the port or starboard side seat back rest down into the spacious cockpit area where you’ll find seating for 5, the wrap around windscreen provides protection for all occupants within the cockpit area. The feeling of security from being “down” inside the boat really is nice, especially with young children. There are plenty of places for stowing bits and pieces either side of the cockpit, along with a cavernous under deck locker. The engine is also accessed via a large hatch that doubles as the rear sun pad. The helm station is well appointed and has an array of engine dials and switches so everything can be controlled / monitored from the helm seat. The VHF Radio offers the convenience and reassurance of being able to communicate with others while at sea. The cockpit is laid with Seadek throughout, which is nice under bare foot. The companionway sliding door has integrated steps which lead up through the folding hatch in the windscreen to the bow section, making access to the anchor locker simple and safe! Drop down the companionway steps and you’ll find the spacious cabin, offering light and air via the two port light hatches, there is a comfy two berth conversion, small worksurface with built in sink, and porta loo for convenience for those overnight stays, while under the berth there is further storage.

The boat is driven by a Mercruiser 4.3Litre V6 Petrol engine via an Alpha One drive (3 blade prop), the current owner has had the engine serviced locally during his ownership. The original engine was a 1.7litre diesel. The performance of the V6 petrol is far more fun!
