“PURA VIDA”
Description
Located on Lake St. Clair in Harrison Township, Michigan, "Pura Vida" is a 2006 Monterey 298 Sport Cruiser designed to combine high-performance sports boat handling with the comforts of a full express cruiser. Built on a stable Deep-V hull, this vessel features twin MerCruiser stern drives and a well-appointed helm station equipped with trim tabs, full instrumentation, and a lounger seat with a flip-up bolster. The open cockpit layout is tailored for daytime entertaining, featuring a radar arch with a Bimini top and canvas enclosure, a refreshment center with a sink, and an integrated swim platform with a boarding ladder and transom shower. Down below, the open-concept cabin offers overnight accommodations with a convertible V-berth forward and a separate mid-cabin aft berth. The full galley includes solid-surface countertops, a sink, microwave, and refrigerator, paired alongside a private, fully enclosed head with a vanity and shower. Additional system highlights include an anchor windlass, shore power hookups, and a multi-battery charging setup. Showings are available strictly by appointment, with marine financing and professional delivery options available.
POWERBOAT GUIDE DESCRIPTION: To many, the Monterey 298 Sport Cruiser is one of the best-looking sport-boats on the market. She’s a closed-bow version of the company’s popular 298 SS bow-rider with surprisingly complete cabin accommodations to go with her exhilarating performance. Built on a deep-V hull, the focal point of the 298 is her large cockpit with its aft bench seat that folds down to increase the size of the existing sun pad. A contoured lounge is opposite the helm, and a forward-raked radar arch and flashy hull colors add to her sex appeal. Below, the 298 offers over 5 feet of headroom in the main cabin and incorporates a compact mid-cabin aft that stretches beneath the cockpit floor. Amenities include a full galley with cherrywood cabinets, a convertible dinette forward, and a fully enclosed head with shower. The extended swim platform comes with a recessed boarding ladder, and a flip-up seat at the helm permits standup driving. Additional features include a walk-through windshield, transom shower, cockpit wet bar, and good engine access.
