Owner Experience Review
Owners and testers using the AV28 OBfromAVIARAframe it primarily as a luxury dayboat for family cruising and entertaining, with the cockpit flow and ergonomically correct helm making full days aboard easy. Fit and finish are consistently described as luxury-class, with premium audio, an Italian-crafted wheel, upscale upholstery, and extensive standard electronics. There is a compact cabin and head with a porcelain electric toilet and an approximately 19-gallon holding tank—adequate for an overnight or weekend, but smaller than what you’d find on larger cruisers.
On the water, the hull’s roughly 20–21 degrees of deadrise helps it cut through chop confidently, and multiple reports cite sports-car-like handling. Sea trials on the outboard version highlight the power of twin Mercury 250s and smooth, predictable manners. From a care standpoint, the outboard configuration simplifies access, with an optional engine-flush kit available for twin OBs; however, real-world performance is sensitive to prop selection and tuning, and long-term ownership data is still limited given the model’s recent 2023/2024 introduction and earliest 2024–2025 hulls. For watersports and tow duty, the model family includes a surf/forward-drive variant, and some buyers opt for sterndrive when towing is the priority.
Pros and Cons
- Confident ride in chop from the roughly 20–21° deadrise and a balanced hull.
- Luxury-class finish, premium audio, and an ergonomically correct helm enhance day-cruise comfort.
- Twin outboards deliver smooth, sports-car-like handling and simpler service access, with an optional flush kit.
- The compact cabin and head (with an ~19-gallon holding tank) suit short stays but feel small versus larger cruisers.
- Real-world results depend on careful prop selection and tuning.
- Long-term reliability data is limited because the model is new to market, with earliest hulls around 2024–2025.
