Powered by a single Mercruiser 5.7L petrol engine offering smooth & quiet propulsion.

Accommodation:

Easy access boat over the swim step through a gate in the transom into the COCKPIT area equipped with a foldaway forward facing folding bench seat on the transom and an aft facing fixed bench seat with a reversible backrest that separates the cockpit from the raised helm area. In addition to a single helm seat to starboard, there is an "L" shaped seating area to port.

A high radar arch rises over the cockpit area, and supports the removable canopy which encloses the entire cockpit area. The sides are removable to create a bimini cover for weather and sun protection. From the helm you step down and forward into the cabin area or step up and through a fold-aside center window section for access to the long foredeck and electric anchor windlass. 

The SALOON is cleverly designed to provide a surprisingly roomy and useful space for a 28 footer. The initial impression is of a much larger cabin because it is open all the way to the bow. However the fixed double FORWARD BERTH area can be separated by sliding curtains to form a "forward compartment" with a degree of privacy. The mid section is the main saloon with a functional galley on the port side and a dining table and two facing benches for seating opposite. The table lowers to make an additional double berth when required.

The GALLEY includes a covered two burner alcohol/electric stove and a sink with pressurized hot and cold water. The under-counter area is fully utilized for storage. A 240v microwave is fitted above the sink. Also provided is a 12v refrigerator opposite under the dinette seating. 

Aft of the dining area is a fully moulded wetroom / HEAD compartment with good headroom including sea toilet with holding tank, wash basin and shower.

Under the cockpit is another double AFT BERTH. A port hole into the helm area provides lighting to this space. When not used as a berth, this space provides a large storage area.
