2021 Monterey 238ss

Slide behind the wheel of this 238SS and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the cockpit is laid out for actual days on the water, not just showroom appeal. The deep freeboard keeps everyone feeling secure when the chop picks up, while the wide beam carries forward to give the bow real, usable space instead of a token lounge. The co-captain swivel chair setup turns the helm area into a social hub, perfect for spotting riders or joining the conversation at anchor. Stainless grab rails are right where you want them, and the nonskid underfoot lets you move confidently when wet. At idle, the hull settles nicely, making it a relaxed, stable platform for swimming, picnicking, or just drifting off the sandbar.

This 238SS is particularly well-suited for the mix of conditions you’ll find in this region. It’s small enough to trailer easily to different ramps and hidden coves, yet it has the hull depth and weight to stay composed when afternoon winds kick up or boat traffic stacks wake. The open bow and generous cockpit seating make it ideal for hosting family or friends on long cruising days, while the integrated swim platform and ladder encourage frequent dips in the water. With its responsive performance, you can comfortably handle winding waterways, wider bays, and nearshore stretches, all in a package that’s simple to dock, fuel, and store locally.
