Beneteau Antares 8 OB (2023-)
1 x 250-hp Suzuki
Brief Summary
The new ANTARES 8 is an affordable way to enjoy the pleasures of boat ownership in a compact, trailerable package. Sometimes called a "Pocket Cruiser" because she is 26'5" LOA, she has a cuddy cabin that can sleep two in a pinch and a dining table that doubles as a berth for one. She is powered by a single 250-hp outboard engine which makes annual maintenance and operation low-cost. She has a table in her cockpit for entertaining and can be used for cruising or fishing. Her cabin makes her a three-season boat.
