The Monterey 298 Sport Cruiser is a twin-engine express built for comfortable weekending, with a deep-V hull, a full cabin, and a wide cockpit set up for entertaining. This one is powered by twin MerCruiser 350 Magnum sterndrives on Bravo Three twin counter-rotating drives, the configuration that gives a boat this size confident handling and easy low-speed maneuvering around the dock.
The owner had the boat professionally detailed and cleaned inside and out in July 2026. What is left is cosmetic and confined to the cockpit seating, which was not redone. The seller is motivated and open to offers.
Why This Boat
There is a lot of boat here for the money. The 298 carries an enclosed head with a shower, a galley with a refrigerator, electric stovetop, and microwave, and a cockpit wet bar with its own sink and refrigerator. Cruising gear is already aboard: radar arch, trim tabs, bow anchor davit, marine air conditioning, 30-amp shore power, a swim platform with boarding ladder, and a Garmin GPS at the helm.
The twin 350 Magnum / Bravo Three drivetrain is a proven setup that buyers shopping cruisers in this range know and trust. Priced well under a turnkey example, this is a capable 30-foot cruiser for a buyer who is willing to put money into the cockpit seating.

Condition & Next Steps
The cockpit seating was not part of the July 2026 detail: the helm seat bolster has split at the corner with the foam showing, and one seat back has cracked at the seam. Both are photographed above. We recommend a buyer inspect and sea-trial the boat and verify all onboard systems before purchase. The seller is motivated and open to offers.
We can help on both sides of the deal: our boat buyer service walks buyers through inspection and survey, and we handle title and registration so the paperwork closes cleanly.
