2022 Monterey 278 Ss

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the deep, secure cockpit and tall bow freeboard make this 27-footer feel bigger and more confident than most in its class. The 278 SS layout gives you a true social zone: a wraparound aft lounge with a convertible backrest, a walk-through transom, and a wide bow that lets adults actually stretch out. The helm is all about visibility and ergonomics, with sporty bucket seats, a clean dash ready for your electronics, and intuitive controls. Thoughtful touches like in-floor ski storage, stainless cup holders where you actually need them, and dedicated fender stowage show off Monterey’s attention to detail. It’s an easy boat to day cruise, entertain, or run sandbar missions without feeling cramped.

This 278 SS shines in warm, skinny-water playgrounds where sandbars, waterfront restaurants, and quick island hops define a perfect day. The generous beam and stable hull give you a confident ride when afternoon chop kicks up, while the open bow and aft lounge keep the crew comfortable for long days in the sun. A full-beam swim platform and walk-through transom make swimming and watersports simple, even with kids climbing on and off all day. The single gas sterndrive keeps maintenance straightforward yet delivers plenty of punch for tow sports. With its sleek profile and upscale fit and finish, it looks right at home pulling into bustling marinas or idling along scenic intracoastal backwaters.
