Description
1997 Monterey 296 Cruiser — Turnkey Express Cruiser Ready for the Season I'm selling my 1997 Monterey 296 Cruiser, a spacious and comfortable express cruiser that's currently in the water at Fox Lake Marina and ready to show. She's priced at $17,500 or best reasonable offer — a great opportunity to get on the water this season without a big investment. The boat has a large cockpit perfect for entertaining, a comfortable cabin with galley and enclosed bathroom, and shore-power capability for weekend stays. All life jackets, mooring lines, and boating supplies are included — just come aboard and go. KEY FEATURES: - Bimini top with full Eisenglass enclosure — great protection from sun and weather, extending your time on the water in variable conditions. - - New steering system and new marine toilet — recent mechanical and comfort upgrades mean less to worry about after purchase. - - Galley and enclosed head — the cabin accommodations make this a genuine weekend boat, with the kind of below-deck space Monterey's cruiser line is known for. - POWER & DRIVE: Engine: Twin Mer Cruiser 5.7L EFI (500 hp combined) Fuel: Gasoline Note: Both engines were tuned up last season. Exact hours are being retrieved from the EFI computers by the marina. FUEL & RANGE: Fuel Capacity: 140 gallons LOCATION: Fox Lake Marina, Fox Lake, IL 60020 — currently in the water and available for showing
