level fishing pursuits.  Standard features include a leaning post with drop-down bolsters, 40-gallon oval livewell, raw-water washdown, in-deck fish box, transom fish box, forward console seat, removable rear bench seat, trim tabs, cockpit lights, beverage holders, molded forward seats, low-profile bow rails, under-gunnel rod storage, gunnel rod holders, and fore/aft cockpit bolsters. The 302?s lockable cuddy cabin contains a V-berth, storage lockers, and space for a portable head.  A fast ride with impressive open water performance, the 302?s narrow beam results in marginal low-speed stability. twin 225s top out at 55+ knots.
