1998 Monterey 322 CR For Sale

With nearly three decades of superior boat building experience, Monterey Boats has established itself as a top competitor in the cruiser community.

The 322 CR sets itself apart from others in its class by boasting the twin Mercruiser 7.4 big blocks with Bravo Three twin prop outdrives, improving handling and pushing the big cruiser through the water close to 40 mph!

Monterey made docking easy with the abundant fender storage and shore power controls right on the large swim platform. The seller is also including additional fender holder racks for the bow rails.

Passing through the walkthrough transom door from the swim platform the lounge opens to a roomy U shaped dinette with an accommodating wet bar before approaching the spacious cockpit with steps leading up to the bow. Seller is including the bow cushion for sunbathing.

Moving down below to the spacious (and cold!) cabin prepare your favorite meal with the stove, microwave, refrigerator and ice box or your favorite frozen drink with the built in blender or even a cup of coffee! Enjoy that meal (or drink) on the beautiful dinette, then take a nap in the forward berth while the kids slumber in the aft berth. Plenty of storage for everything you need on those overnight trips.

Although this boat had a good cleaning 8/11/20 (also when first 14 photos were taken) and successful water trial (video below), it does need new exterior upholstery. Small soft spot detected on starboard side of the bow near a rail stanchion not close to the windlass and not noticeable to sight or touch. The current owners purchased in 2014, had it serviced and only took it out a handful of times over the years. Though it has not left the dock much since 2014, It has been cranked and ran regularly.

The impellers were replaced when it was last out of the water in 2013 (last photo in the listing). The current owners believe there were two or three owners before them, believed to have all been freshwater.

They did upgrade to the bigger anchor (The old Danforth is included), upgraded to a bigger AC (Blows VERY strong and cold!), and replaced the generators starter in 2017. The generator carbs need to be cleaned.

The batteries were replaced over the years. The current batteries are no more than 5 years old.

As this boat was last out of the water in 2013, the condition of the outdrives, transom and bottom are unknown.
