2007 Doral 2100 Monticello Description
-
If nerves about handling a boat bigger than
your runabout have kept you from trading up,
then wait no longer. The Doral Monticello
drives like a runabout, making it an ideal entrylevel
cruiser for anyone wanting to spend more
time out on the water.
This 25 foot, 4 inch express cruiser carved easily
and responsively through turns on our sunny -
and sweltering - test day. It cruised effortlessly at
22.4 mph and 3500 rpm, offering a smooth and
comfortable ride despite lots of wake from other
boats. The trim tabs quickly responded to any
shift in weight within the boat while underway.
With a single 280 hp engine, the Monticello
came out of the hole to 20 mph at a respectable
10 seconds and reached a top speed of 41 mph at
5000 rpm. Given the load and the single engine,
these numbers can be largely attributed to the
Volvo dual prop. As well, I expect the boat could
have pulled a few more mph out had there only
be myself on board with less than an almost full
tank of gas. For those who want even more speed,
power packages are available up to 320 hp.
On board, our test boat made quite a first
impression equipped with the Ultimate Package,
which includes such appointments as a
Viscoelastic mattress, varnished wood cockpit
table and cushions, customized bedding, a deluxe
steering wheel, and varnished wood table and
steps. The Monticello we tested also came with
the Entertainment Package - a 15-inch LCD TV
and DVD player, Sirius satellite radio, and a
deluxe sound system with six CD changer.
At the helm, the Monticello has a bolstered
companion seat offering good visibility through
the windshield, as well as of the instruments. Our
boat also sported the optional electric-assisted
retractable radar arch, ideal for getting under
bridges and for trailering.
The cockpit area on the Monticello has lots of
space for entertaining, with an extended L-shaped
seat with a removable triangular swivel table and
under seat storage. To port, our test boat has the
optional sink alongside a rear-facing lounge seat.
The large integrated swim platform comes with
stow-away ladder, shower and grab hand rail.
The bow on the Monticello is easily accessed
through a wide walk-through. Forward, our test
boat has a clip-on, moulded, upholstered sun pad,
as well as a bow rail with cut out for easy anchor
access.
Down below, this boat makes efficient use of
the space available, while a skylight, overhead
hatch and portholes give the area an airy feel. The
main cabin has a large table with lots of seating,
but it was a bit difficult to get into. The attractive
galley sports a granite-aspect counter, stainless steel
sink and microwave oven, as well as a refrigerator,
electric single-burner stove and adequate storage.
The head has a shower with curtain, a screened
porthole, towel bar and mirror, as well as some
storage.
The Monticello's aft cabin is a little tight and
hard to climb into. However, the floor level double
bed is sectioned off from the rest of the cabin by a
privacy curtain, and has a reading light, screened
porthole and cabinets for storage. A wardrobe closet
for hanging clothes is located in the main cabin.
Compared with other boats of its size, the
Monticello has great use of space, performance
akin to a runabout and a price tag that is attainable
for anyone looking to spend a more than a
few hours out cruising.
