There isn't a lot of review sites out there, but one of the ones that is: jdpower. they put Monterey solidly in the Average category in large runabouts..

looks like Cobalt, Searay, Regal, maybe Baja are tops (4-5 stars). Bayliner, Stingray, Larson at the bottom (2 stars).

in the Average ratings (3 stars): Four Winns, Crownline each have a 4 in there, but at all 3's JDpower says Monterey is as average as it gets...

As a point earlier in the thread made.. boats cost a fortune and no one wants to make a mistake. Resale value has to suffer when a rating site puts a brand at average or below.
