Newburyport, Massachusetts

$99,900

REEL ADDICTION  - New to the market and ready to take you fishing or cruising in style.  Open wallet maintained with many upgrades over the years.  This 2 owner boat is equipped with 3 Simrad Evo 9" units - Radar, GPS, Chartplotter, Autopilot, FLIR, & VHF Radio. Powered by twin Volvo Penta 8.1 Gi with 1400 hours.  Cruises at 32 knots and will top out around 40mph.  Rocket launchers, rod holders, tackle station, liferaft, livewell, anchor windless, JL audio speakers, full isenglass enclosure and much more.   

Construction is solid fiberglass and her wide 10' 6' beam results in a very roomy cockpit.  In spite of the fact that she's a dedicated fishboat, the 28 has a surprisingly complete cabin below with a big V-berth, standup head with shower, compact galley, air conditioning, and teak framed joinery.  Engines are accessible under the bridge deck which powers up via hydraulic rams at the push of a button. The cockpit has plenty of room for a mounted chair and included a pair of indeck fish boxes, rod holders, transom livewell, tackle center with sink, and both fresh/salt water washdowns.

Owners Remarks

This boat has not only been maintained by a open checkbook, but also updated with an open checkbook to keep state of the art equipment onboard in order to keep the boat feeling and operating as new.  Anytime this boat left the dock, it was fully cleaned, waxed, and polished on its return.  Even in placed that don't catch the eye.  Each season was handled as a fresh start with new fuel filters, oil change/filters, zincs, bottom paint, corrosion guard on all exposed metals, outdrives fully serviced & repainted (removed for winter), shrink-wrapped, new impellers and bilge pumps and more every season. There is a full log book with all maintenance and receipts.  There are many other electronic upgrades such as blue seas systems, as well as the aesthetic upgrades - teak dashboard & panels, mezzanine seating the list goes on...The boat is big enough to handle a large crew or family, and the toughest sea maintaining 30mph, but also small enough to take the boat off the dock yourself.  This is the perfect all-time boat and the next owner will love it! 

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.
