Dear Valued Customer,
Welcome to the Monterey Life!
We would like to extend to you our “Thank You” for choosing a Monterey boat!
You have made an investment in our product and we are confident you will enjoy many years of boating
pleasure. Your new boat has been built to the standards set forth by the United States Coast Guard, National
Marine Manufacturers Association and the American Boat and Yacht Council. We are proud to have you in our
“Family!”
At this time, we need you to read your owner’s manual and become familiar with all systems on your boat. Make
certain that you and your dealer have filled out and mailed your warranty registration card back to us here at the
factory. It is very important to us and it is also a U.S. Federal Regulation.
This manual is an important aid in the operation and maintenance of your boat. The information is intended as a
guide and cannot cover every question you may have about your boat and boating in general. We encourage
you to contact your dealership for any additional information you might need. If there is a question about your
boat that can’t be answered by your dealer, please contact our factory direct by calling the Monterey Boats
Customer Service Department, (352) 529-9181 or online if you prefer at: [email protected].
If you are new to boating, we recommend you participate in a boating class or group to gain more knowledge
and confidence. Contact your dealer, local U.S. Coast Guard or U.S. Power Squadron Organizations for infor-
mation in your area.
With proper care, routine service and preventive maintenance, your Monterey boat will not only reward you with
enjoyment, but with reliability, dependability and one of the higher resale values in today’s boating industry.
Enjoy your new boat and please respect our environment at all times. Always remember to practice safe boating
procedures for your protection as well as those around you.
Sincerely,
The M.O.S.T. (Monterey Owners Support Team)
Have a safe boating day!
