The 2001 Monterey 240 Explorer Sport is a spacious 24-foot deck boat designed to give you the seating and room of a larger family boat while maintaining the performance and handling of a fiberglass sport boat.
Powered by a 5.7L Volvo Penta V8 with 405 hours and sold with a Performance trailer included, this Monterey offers a lot of boat for just $14,995.
With its wide 8'6" beam, expansive bow seating, large cockpit, enclosed head, wet bar, swim platform, and abundant storage, the 240 Explorer Sport is built for full days on the water with family and friends.
Whether you're cruising Central Florida's lakes, heading to the sandbar, entertaining friends, or simply looking for an affordable 24-foot family boat, this Monterey delivers impressive space and versatility for the money.
Why This Boat Stands Out
The Monterey 240 Explorer Sport combines the open layout of a deck boat with the styling and performance characteristics of a sport boat.
At 24 feet long and 8'6" wide, the 240 Explorer provides substantial passenger and storage space without moving into a much larger boat.
The layout features a large U-shaped bow seating area, spacious cockpit seating, an automotive-inspired helm, integrated wet bar, enclosed head compartment, multiple boarding points, and generous storage throughout.
This boat is powered by a 5.7L Volvo Penta V8 with 405 hours, providing the strong sterndrive power that pairs well with this 4,200-pound fiberglass hull.
Best of all, the Performance trailer is included, making this a complete boat-and-trailer package for $14,995.
For buyers searching for a used Monterey boat, Monterey 240 Explorer Sport, 24-foot deck boat, Volvo Penta boat, V8 deck boat, family boat with trailer, used bowrider, or affordable Florida deck boat, this Monterey represents an excellent value.
