2004 MONTEREY 265 EXPRESS WITH VOLVO PENTA POWER! EXPRESS CRUISER WITH CABIN, SLEEPS 4!
This 2004 Monterey 265 Express Cruiser located in Palmetto, Florida is a well-designed vessel that combines performance, comfort, and overnight capability in a trailerable size (trailer not included).
Powered by a fuel injected Volvo Penta V8, this boat delivers strong acceleration and reliable performance for cruising or watersports. The deep-V hull provides a smooth ride in rougher water, allowing the boat to comfortably cruise in the mid-20 mph range while reaching a top speed of around 40-45 mph depending on load and conditions. With seating designed for up to 10 passengers, the spacious cockpit layout offers plenty of room for relaxing, entertaining, or spending a full day on the water with family and friends.
Below deck, the cabin is thoughtfully arranged to make overnight trips comfortable and practical. The forward V-berth converts to a dinette area for meals and seating during the day, while the mid-cabin berth provides additional sleeping space for guests. The galley includes a sink, refrigerator, microwave, and cooktop, making it easy to prepare meals while onboard. An enclosed head compartment with a marine toilet, sink, and shower adds convenience for longer outings. Make sure to watch the walk thru video which shows the table installed in the V-berth.
With its comfortable accommodations, performance from the Volvo Penta V8, and versatile layout, the Monterey 265 Cruiser is an excellent choice for day cruising, weekend trips, and entertaining on the water.
