Boat Buyers Guide: 2020 Monterey 215SS

Monterey's new 215SS is the outboard version of their very popular 218 stern drive. When it comes to style and features, Monterey knows their business -- they've been building quality boats for decades. The 215SS is ideally equipped for watersports thanks to the optional wakeboard tower, and it has an integrated bimini to shade the cockpit. Since this boat is an outboard model, it brings some unique features like the large sun pad in the back that also boasts large amounts of storage underneath. Monterey hits all the right notes in their 215SS from performance and style to quality fit and finish.

What’s the cost ?

I just bought a 2014 Monterey 224 fs bowrider equipped with a Volvo 5.7L 300hp motor and an SX drive turning a 21 pitch aluminum prop. Could someone give me an estimate of what my boat's open throttle speed would be? The boat weighs 3500lbs dry.

Had the same one but with the 270hp volvo, I will do around 50
