Where to buy Monterey M-65:
Monterey Boats
The M-65 is Monterey’s do-everything deck boat. It has a squared bow and carries its beam far forward, maximizing the forward lounge space. That lounge converts to a large sun pad with filler cushions or a comfortable entertainment area with a small, removable table.
The M-65 is an upgraded design to accept outboard power. A single Mercury Verado 300 horsepower engine is standard, but the boat can also be built with the traditional sterndrive—the Monterey M6.
Things we like:
-
Aggressive, modern styling -
Huge swim platform with a transom walk-through
-
Square M-shaped bow maximizes forward entertainment area, converts to a sun pad with filler cushions
-
Comfortable layout with maximum seating space
-
Head/changing area in the port-side console
-
Aft-facing bench for watching the watersports
-
Tons of storage space for water toys
Things we don't like:
-
Lacks the multi-position sun lounge in back that most boat designs have -
Old-school analog console lacks space for a flush-mount, large-screen chartplotter
