Manufacturer Provided Description
The 28 is a machine totally designed and precisely built for one
purpose: Offshore trophy fishing. Because fishing conditions vary, we
offer a combination of twin engine power and drive choices. Gas or
diesel. Conventional inboard or jack shaft to sterndrive. And long-range
fuel capacity for all. Plenty of living room, too. A cabin with six
feet of head room. V-berth with filler. Galley with microwave, sink,
refrigerator and table. Full walk-in electric head with shower. And
storage areas throughout. Best of all is how easy she is to maintain.
The dry, oversized engine compartment provides roomy access to the
hydraulics, generator, pumps and batteries. The bilge runs in a tunnel
underneath the gel-coated engine room, so all vital mechanics stay dry
and clean. The air intakes are high above the sheer to keep corrosive
salt spray out. Even the cabin walls are finished gel so they can be
easily cleaned and kept free of mildew. The 28 is complete. There's a
very short "extras" list. The most popular is the command tower, which
encloses the lower helm station and provides a complete second station
above.
