In the Motor Boats classifieds section, three models caught our attention because of their features and versatility: the Monterey 282, the Sea Rey 315 Sundancer, and the Dhea 27. Here is an analysis of their peculiarities. Let’s start with the assumption that they are three watercrafts, so hulls that are also suitable for beginners or those with an unexaggerated budget since they keep maintenance costs low. Let’s explore the peculiarities in order of size, from the smallest to the largest, starting with a treat: the Dhea 27.

When a boat is treated well it is immediately noticeable. This Dhea 27 from the C&B Prestige shipyard is currently in Brindisi, Puglia, and ready to take to the sea. She is a 2003 9-meter in excellent condition ideal both for going swimming and as a small cruiser. She is fully “lockable” on deck, while below she can accommodate up to 4 people in two cabins. At the stern she mounts two Volkswagen 150-5s with stern foot.

Here we are looking at another 9-meter full-optional designed for a weekend at sea. The model, which you can find in our classifieds section, is really well equipped, from air conditioning to water heater and stereo system. In short, a motor boat for real cruising, equipped with everything you could possibly need on board. She is currently registered under Polish flag because the current owner uses her to go to Croatia without too much “breakage,” but it is also possible to de-register her.

A practically cult model that among used boats goes a long way. It is this 9-meter Sea Ray with a classic and evergreen design. The typical layout on board provides up to five berths making it also suitable as a short cruise boat. How do you navigate? With two Mercruiser 4.3 MPI engines of 168 kw each (with about 850 hours on it) it has an average consumption of 60 liters per hour at 25 knots, which is a fairly high cruising speed. As standard it mounts heat pump and also a 5 kW generator.
