Monterey Elite 30 OB
Monterey’s new Elite 30 feels more like a European sportscar than an outboard-powered dayboat. This is the American builder’s first center-helm design, but the wheel is on the port side, behind a vehicle dashboard-like display with full-height windshield that gives this boat an automotive feel. If you want to feel like you’re driving a sexy 600-hp muscle car, but with room for the kids, this might be the boat for you.
Standout Features
- Glass-cockpit design at the helm
- Fiberglass hardtop with overhead RGB lighting
- Lenco Pro automatic trim tabs
The automotive-like helm comes equipped Simrad 15-inch NSX Ultra-Wide multifunction display for navigation, fish finding, engine data, and control of the CZone digital switching system. A Fusion sound system adds a soundtrack to your boating adventures.
Twin bucket seats with armrests and flip-up thigh rise bolsters and slides keep the skipper and crew comfortable and secure. Behind them, cockpit seating includes an aft-facing bench seat with integrated wet bar, and transom seats that fold down into daybeds. High padded gunwales help keep everyone safely on board.
The versatile bow has plush seating all around, with chargers and cup holders close at hand. Beneath each seat is a Yeti cooler. A fill cushion turns the area into a sun bed. Beneath it all is a large storage locker built under the deck.
A door on the console reveals a surprisingly spacious head with an electric toilet with holding tank, indicator and pumpout deck fitting, and vanity with sink and pullout sprayer.
