28 Monterey 2026 Boat for Sale

28' Monterey 2026

Spend a full day moving comfortably from the sandbar to open water without needing to manage space, shade, or setup along the way.

Most boats in this size range force trade-offs between seating, storage, and usable deck space. This Elite 27 OB removes that friction by giving you defined areas to relax, store gear, and move freely—so your day doesn’t revolve around constantly reconfiguring the boat. The wide beam and thoughtful cockpit layout keep everyone settled, while the integrated swim platform and boarding access make getting in and out of the water simple and controlled.

The single Mercury 400XXL outboard delivers straightforward power without the added complexity of multiple engines. That means easier maintenance, predictable handling, and more confidence when docking or running through Tampa Bay conditions. Trim tabs with indicators and auto-retract further reduce the learning curve, helping you stay level and in control without constant adjustment.

At the helm, the Simrad 15” ultra-wide display consolidates navigation, system controls, and audio into one interface. This reduces distractions and keeps operations intuitive, especially when managing busy waterways around St. Pete and Clearwater. Wireless charging, power-assisted steering, and clear sightlines all contribute to a helm experience that feels manageable from day one.

Onboard comfort is handled without compromise. The enclosed head with pump-out, vanity, and opening portlight removes the need to plan your day around marina stops. Forward and aft table placements, convertible seating, and a wet bar with sink and storage allow you to transition from cruising to anchoring without disruption.

This is for owners who want one boat that handles entertaining, cruising, and sandbar use without constant adjustment or second-guessing.
