Let’s set our eyes on what promises to be one of 2022’s standout deck boats—the Monterey Boat M Series M45—that sees functionality meeting high-end aesthetics. This review brings you all the details you need to make a well-informed boating decision. Remember, knowledge is your ultimate advantage when navigating the often tempestuous waters of boat sales.
The M45 comes loaded with an array of standard features that make it an excellent choice for those seeking leisure and comfort on the water. The on-board amenities include an automatic bilge pump, a 48 Qt Carry-On cooler, Fusion Satellite Ready AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo with built-in iPod Dock, and four Rockford Fosgate speakers. And with 10 stainless steel drink holders, you won’t have to worry about spills during your outings.
The cockpit also includes a Fiberglass liner with non-skid and self-bailing—features that increase safety, especially when the deck is wet. The wet bar, complete with a solid surface top, sink, faucet, trash receptacle, and storage, ensures you can prepare and enjoy your beverages with ease. A dedicated in-floor ski storage area with a gas-assisted hatch cover adds to the overall convenience. The helm boasts features such as a compass, depth sounder, digital GPS speedometer, and a 12V USB outlet, ensuring you have all the necessary information and tools at your fingertips.
The M45 is not just about pampering amenities. It’s a performer too. With an Air Assist Chine and Vinylester barrier coat, this boat promises a smooth, efficient ride. Its draft engine positions, for both the up (16") and down (32") states, coupled with a 20° deadrise, translate to excellent performance in diverse water conditions. A max power of 350 HP ensures that whether you're skiing, wakeboarding or cruising, you'll have plenty of drive.
The fuel capacity of 50 gallons provides ample range for extended trips while the water capacity of 10 gallons should accommodate on-board needs. Crucially, the boat’s robust construction ensures a lifetime limited hull warranty—a testament to Monterey Boats' commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Style wise, the M45 stands out with custom hull side graphics, colored hull, onyx framed curved tempered windshield, and a distinctive swim platform. The seating arrangements on the M45 are designed for the ultimate comfort and convenience with different configurations that include a back-to-back L-lounge with sun pad conversion and electrically actuated recliner, aft-facing transom seat, and swiveling bucket seats with sliders and a flip-up bolster. For the price tag of $94,260, this 24-foot deck boat offers an attractive mix of luxury, performance, and practicality.
In conclusion, if you're in the market for a deck boat that leaves a memorable impression without compromising practical features, the Monterey Boat M Series M45 could be your ideal choice. It's more than just a boat—it's a lifestyle statement on water.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
