Monterey Montura
The Monterey Montura is a 21-foot boat, with model years from 1996 to 2016 in the listings we track. Across 20 listings we have observed (model years 1996–2016), the median asking price is $11,000, with most boats asking $7,500 to $17,000.
BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 20 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
20 priced listings across 12 states. Enough for a range, not enough to be precise about any single year.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (73 raw listings collapsed to 20 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 1996–2016, 12 states, 17 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
2 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.
Monterey Montura prices by model year
| Model year | Listings | Typical asking range | Median asking | Relative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 3 | $12,000 – $17,500 | $15,000 | |
| 1999 | 3 | $7,500 – $9,000 | $9,000 | |

| 1996 | 4 | $6,000 – $11,000 | $10,000 |
Asking prices from active listings we observed, not sold prices. No public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices; anyone showing you "sold" data for this market is estimating it. Years with fewer than 3 priced listings show the count only.
Method: Median and quartiles per model year, computed only where at least 3 priced listings exist for that year.

Recalls affecting Monterey
2 federal recall campaigns on file. Recalls are issued against hull-identification ranges, so a campaign listed here may or may not cover the specific boat you are looking at — check the HIN. Remedies are free from the builder, but only if the work was actually performed, and there is no central database that proves it was.

What to inspect on a used Monterey Montura
- On the older hulls, core moisture is the deal-breaker: sound the transom and the deck with a plastic mallet, and treat any soft or dull-sounding area as a survey-stopper rather than a bargaining chip. We observe listings back to 1996, so boats over 30 years old are actively traded in this model.
This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on Montura listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a Montura costs to own
$1,750 – $4,500 per year
- 21 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Saltwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (CA)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
