You know the kid in the Disney commercial who is in bed and says whith a huge grin,"I am too excited to sleep!".. Hello everyone that was me at 3am.

I bought a 2008 Monterey 250 CR with every option they have and I picked out some nice Raymarine electronics. I sighned the paperwork and a fat check to them last Friday. They are waiting on the trailer to come in and they are installing a few extra goodies to make me happy and to lower maintainance costs.

I stopped by yesterday evening to see how she is comming together. She is sooo pretty. Deep bergandy sides with white. All that stainless steel sooo shinny. The fresh water cooling kit on the 5.7L Volvo all buttoned up. Anker and windless all set ready to splash into the harbor at Oak Bluffs. Even my fenders match the color of the boat. The new inflatable dinghy with a new 3.5hp Merc all set and registered. They made a custom bracket to store the Honda 2000 generator down in the bilge. (No, it wont be ran down there, just stored.)

Our family have had wonderfull times and 100s of great memories on our little but mighty Wellcraft. We always knew that we would kick it up a notch and step into cruiseing. This will be our 2nd new boat and #4 in total. My wife is thrilled that there is no more porta potty in her future and a marine head, ac, her Tasimo coffee maker are just below deck.

Many pictures will follow but I need to get her in the driveway first. They are triing for tomarrow, but if not then, will be Wednesday. It all comes down to the trailer.

Beautiful - Congratulations. Doesn't seem to be a lot of Monterey owners on this forum, so I am always glad when I see another one.

Truth be told; I'm REALLY jealous!! :rolleyes:

I own a 2003 Monterey 245CR and love it... Bought it last fall with 51 hours on the 5.7L Volvo... Work during the week but sleep on her friday - sunday night/monday morning. Congrats.

Post some pictures when you get the boat so I can see the differences from the 2003 to the 2008 Model.

My first i/o a monterey 206 scr 1994. Love the look. Monterey boats seam to be very well built.

Re: New Monterey Cruiser

I'm new to this forum and this thread caught my eye. We have just bought a Monterey 194FS and are expecting to pick it up this weekend. I was hoping there would be some other people here with Monterey boats...this is a 2008, and we are new to boating. I'm looking forward to reading the threads! :)
