"It's almost impossible to one up the 287 SSX. With its enclosed head, dual wide helm seat, U-shaped cockpit and well-stocked wet bar the 287 has more freeboard, beam and legroom than any bowrider you'll find under 30-feet. Factor in a value-minded price and the 287 knows no equal. Extended V-Plane performance lets you cruise the shoreline or pursue distant ports in a sport boat that blends excitement and elegance. Complete stainless steel hardware, including the windshield cap, is built to last and adds a quality look."
