Introducing the 2026 Monterey Elite 27 OB Bowrider, the epitome of effortless boating for your adventures on Tampa Bay. This boat allows you to leave the dock with confidence, cruise smoothly over open waters, and enjoy ample space for everyone on board. Many seasoned boat owners find their current vessels limiting, especially when it comes to accommodating friends or planning longer trips. The Elite 27 OB Bowrider addresses these concerns with a spacious layout that enhances comfort for larger groups and extended outings.
Its deep-V hull with a 21° deadrise ensures predictable handling, even when the bay gets choppy. With an 8’10” beam, this boat offers stable movement throughout the cockpit and bow while delivering the modern performance expected from an outboard bowrider. The design strikes a perfect balance between confidence in open waters and the ability to access shallow coastal areas around St. Petersburg and Clearwater.
At the helm, a state-of-the-art Simrad 15” ultra-wide display integrates navigation, switching, and stereo controls into one user-friendly interface, keeping your dashboard organized and efficient while you cruise. Features like power-assisted steering, auto-retracting trim tab indicators, and adjustable helm seating enhance control, whether navigating across the bay or in tight marina spaces.
The cockpit is designed for seamless entertaining, equipped with dual carry-on coolers, a wet bar complete with sink and storage, and a spacious cockpit table that makes transitions from cruising to hosting a breeze. A fiberglass hardtop provides shade, while vibrant RGB cockpit and underwater lighting sets the mood for evening outings around St. Pete.
Seating is adaptable to your day’s activities, with forward bow seating ideal for relaxed conversations during cruises, and an aft sunpad featuring articulating backrests that can be adjusted for lounging once anchored. In-floor storage keeps your gear organized and out of sight, ensuring the cockpit remains functional and inviting.
An enclosed head compartment with a vanity, sink, and pump-out porta-potti helps maximize your time on the water, allowing couples or families to enjoy extended outings with ease.
Thunder Marine simplifies ownership from day one, providing a thorough walkthrough at delivery so you understand every system before you set off. Plus, ongoing local service support in St. Petersburg ensures you won’t face long scheduling delays.
