The ‘Montana’ has a great amount of space inside and a large open cockpit. This boat benefits from teak decks, plasma TV

Getting aboard the ‘Montana’ is easy, thanks to a full-width moulded boarding platform and a starboard-side transom door, which comes complete with spring-loaded latch. There’s also a handy grabrail across the transom.

The bi-fold companionway door is made from tinted plastic, so it admits light, even when closed. A sliding hatch above the door pushes away, allowing easy entry to the cabin.

The cabin holds much more than you’d expect from the outside view of the boat. A full galley runs to port and there’s a double bunk below the cockpit floor. It can comfortably sleep two adults or make a play/sleep refuge for a couple of kids. There is a wardrobe between the alcove and galley.
 

There is a dinette that seats four opposite the galley and it can convert in minutes to a double bed. Forward of the dinette is a huge vee-berth. Electric toilet and shower room.

The cockpit lounge can seat three and the forward facing aft bench is big enough for two. The cockpit bench has a movable backrest that makes the seat forward or aft facing. The helm seat swivels, making it part of the entertaining area. A removable, centre-pedestal table slots into a socket in the aft section of the cockpit.
