Owner Experience Review
As an all-around dayboat, the M 65fromMONTEREYearns its keep with a genuinely social layout. The cockpit is spacious and versatile, with a flip-up/convertible aft bench, a bow dinette/table, and a large SeaDek-covered swim platform that keeps a crowd comfortable. Owners and dealers commonly spec a wet bar, pull-out cooler and premium stereo, while activity packages range from an optional wake tower for towing to rod holders and a roomy bow that doubles for casual fishing. For weekenders, the single head can be outfitted with an electric toilet, forward shower and either a holding tank or macerator.
On the water, testers repeatedly describe a smooth, planted ride in chop, crediting the hull’s comfortable deadrise and confident handling. With a single 300–350 hp outboard the boat is responsive, and automatic/active trim systems help it seek an ideal running attitude with minimal input, delivering smooth, quiet power. Manufacturer and test notes also highlight efficient cruise performance with Verado 300/350 options.
Ownership is straightforward. Outboard propulsion puts routine engine service on the outboard where access is straightforward, while the optional macerator/holding-tank system benefits from periodic flushing and inspection. The electrical/DC breaker panels are placed in accessible compartments (starboard battery compartment and a forward main DC panel), and regular breaker and battery checks are recommended. Because the outboard layout frees the original engine bay for storage, inspections of through-hulls, bilges and trim-tab actuators occur under deck hatches, a detail some owners mention when planning service.
Pros and Cons
- Smooth, planted ride in chop with confident handling and easy trimming via automatic trim systems.
- Social, versatile cockpit with convertible seating, bow dinette and a large SeaDek swim platform for entertaining.
- Abundant storage thanks to the outboard layout freeing the former engine bay.
- Ventilation in the head depends on an optional porthole that reviewers felt should be standard.
- Access to bilge, through-hulls and trim-tab gear is via deck hatches, adding steps to some service tasks.
- Popular activity-focused features such as the wake tower, wet bar and rod holders are optional rather than standard.
