My last boat was 2006 Monty 180FS. They make nice boats. I love my Bryant, but would not think twice about buying another Monty. Congrats on the purchase of your new toy.

Re: New boat

Very nice boat. I have an 08 214FS, which today would be a 224FS(they changed the name for some reason). I love the boat. The only issue I have found so far is that there was absolutely no place to mount a GPS. I had to get a small Lowrance Elite 5 so it would fit, and it is still pretty akward. Oh, and when I removed the stripes off the side apparently whoever put them on at the factory used a razer blade to cut the ends and cut into the gelcoat. Otherwise it has been a great boat. Lots of great little features that if they hadnt been on this boat I would never have thought about them, or known they even exist, but now wouldnt live without them.

Re: New boat

Congrats, you picked the best 20 foot bowrider out there today, as far as available space, value for your money, fit and finish and performance. We love our 2011 204 FS.
Did you get the V6 or V8 ?

Re: New boat

The V6 will do very well in that boat. The performance numbers on the Monty site are spot on. We have the V8 and our performance numbers
match what is published.
