Step Up to Luxury Without the Boat Ramp Hassle
If you are ready to graduate from trailering and want a vessel that offers both "big boat" comfort and "small boat" performance, Southern Drifter is the perfect transition. This Monterey 322 has been maintained to a standard rarely seen in boats of this vintage, backed by an impeccable vessel log and recent high-value upgrades.
The Sterndrive Advantage: Why I/Os Beat Outboards
While many are moving toward outboards, this Monterey proves why sterndrives remain the king of the cruiser lifestyle. By housing the twin Volvo Penta 5.7 GSI engines beneath the cockpit sole, you gain:
- The Best Seat in the House: A massive, flat, and unobstructed swim platform. Unlike outboard boats, there are no oily cowlings or propeller hazards in your way—perfect for the sandbar, swimmers, and loungers.
- Superior Handling: A lower center of gravity ensures a stable, "planted" ride in coastal chop and significantly less bow-rise when getting on plane.
- Quiet Socializing: Engine noise is contained in an insulated engine room, allowing you to actually enjoy a conversation at the helm while cruising at 25 knots.
- Shallow Water Access: Just like an outboard, these drives trim up, allowing you to tuck into the shallowest sandbars that traditional inboard cruisers simply can't reach.
Mechanical Peace of Mind
This isn't a "fixer-upper"—it is a turn-key machine. The current owner has focused on reliability so you don’t have to:
- New Port Engine: Professionally installed in 2023 (currently ~115 hours).
- Overhauled Starboard Engine: Only ~500 hours since a complete overhaul.
- Recent Service: Brand-new risers and new water pumps recently installed on both engines.
- Refreshed Canvas: The Bimini and full cockpit enclosure have been refurbished and look sharp.
Comfort & Styling
The Monterey 322 is famous for its "non-bloated" profile—it looks like a yacht, not a floating RV. Inside, you’ll find air-conditioned luxury with Corian countertops, a 5kW generator for off-grid power, and spacious accommodations for weekend getaways.
Currently sitting in her wet slip in Carolina Beach, Southern Drifter is ready for a sea trial. Skip the ramp, leave the trailer behind, and start enjoying the water the way it was meant to be.

Power Boat Guide Description
Like her smaller sisterships in the Monterey fleet, the 322 Cruiser is a well-executed blend of crisp styling, solid construction, and comfortable cabin accommodations. She’s a good-looking boat with her reverse arch and raparound windshield, and she lacks the bloated, tall-freeboard appearance seen in many other express cruisers her size. Built on a deep-V hull with moderate beam, the midcabin floorplan of the Monterey is an attractive mix of Corian counters, a curved earth-tone sofa, and premium fixtures. The midcabin is particularly spacious, and privacy curtains separate both sleeping areas from the salon. Three overhead hatches and five opening ports provide adequate cabin ventilation. In the cockpit, visibility from the elevated helm is excellent. There’s seating for six at the U-shaped lounge behind the helm, and a wet bar was standard. Note that a walk-through windshield provides access to the bow. Additional features include a foredeck sun pad, a molded pulpit, anchor locker, fender racks at the transom, and a foldaway transom seat. MerCruiser 320hp gas sterndrives cruise
the Monterey 322 in the mid 20s and reach a top speed of about 40 knots.
