2008 Monterey 254 FS Description
        The new-for-2008 Monterey 254FS will make you the envy of everyone
    on the lake.
        This monstrous 26 foot, 7 inch, widebeamed bowrider offers great performance and handling in a comfortable package. With lots of room for passengers and gear, this boat will be a great addition for the cottage.
        The 254FS is not only fun and functional, but built to perform. The vented hull (Monterey’s Air Assist Chine) contributes to a nice, smooth ride. While our test day was calm, the deep-V is designed to handle lots of wake and chop. The boat planed quickly and moved easily up to a top speed of 44.6 mph – about what would be expected for this size and weight of boat. Also to be considered was that our test boat was equipped with a 300 hp engine, but the 254FS can take up to 425 hp.
        But what fun would a well-performing boat be if it wasn’t decked out to entertain? Well, you won’t be begging for friends and family to join you on this boat.
        Let’s start with the large bowrider area. There is plenty of plush seating, with good back support. Four cupholders, a couple of grab bars and a filler cushion make for a great spot to lounge in the sun – whether on the move or anchored out. A retractable bow boarding ladder folds out of the anchor locker and a 30-quart moulded-in cooler is tucked under the forward cushion.
        The spacious cockpit supplies the majority of seating, with an expansive L-shaped lounge area. A removable table, two removable coolers and a well-appointed wet bar make this party central. The port console opens to reveal a full head.
        The back rest on the transom portion of the L-shaped cockpit seating is shared with the sun lounge and can be moved and locked into several positions. This creates a comfortable aft-facing sun lounge or a sunbed that
    stretches right into the cockpit when laid flat. This is a really neat feature on the 254FS.
        The helm and passenger seats are both swivelling, adjustable bolstered buckets. The instrumentation on the ergonomic helm features low-glare night lighting and fog-resistant gauges, as well as tilting and power-assisted
    steering. Visibility is good through the full wraparound windshield.
        Not to be forgotten is the abundance of storage on-board the 254FS. There are rubber- matted storage areas under both the port and starboard cushions in the bow, in the helm console, and an in-floor locker. A large
    toy locker is also hidden in the swim step.
        Fun to drive and fun to ride, the “FS” in Monterey 254FS may just stand for “Fun in the Sun.”
