With a choice of Mercury or Yamaha engines, and featuring a double-stepped hull designed by Michael Peters Yacht Design, the 302CC offers a smooth, efficient ride. In the bow you’ll find U-shaped seating and a forward-facing console seat with flip-up armrests, as well as insulated storage areas with overboard drains underneath the seats. A full-size head compartment with a patentpending pantograph door, a portside dive door, a fiberglass hardtop system and leaning post, and a bait prep station with cutting board and sink are some of the many features of this model.
