Man, the absolute perfect boat for the Pac West right there. We're looking at the 28 Sea Sport, obviously this is a major upgrade but they are about the same price.
Impressive build quality I especially like the attention to wiring detailsThe addition of a grill and shower would make this an excellent choice for crossing over to the Bahamas for a weekend outing
Can't wait to see their new 27 coming out soon. Hopefully Capt. Steve can do a review of that one. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all yu guys to put out the best boating content on the web:-)
Nice review. The design reminds me of the fishing boats back in Scotland, but they would be diesel inboards. I like how it is a functioning fishing boat, but with plenty of creature comforts onboard.
With twin 270 Volvo diesels the boat will get 2.1 to 2.2 mpg at 31 mph fully loaded with fuel, water, gear and food for a week. That will give you a range of 530 miles with 300 gallons of fuel ( standard with diesel) with reserve. Not bad for 30' boat.
get an oxe outboard diesel and keep the large fuel tanks :P since 600hp pushes it to 50mph twin 200 diesels should be good for cruising in the 25 knot range
Originally they had only the twin stern drive diesels, much better fuel economy and handling in my opinion. In fact they had a single diesel option that most of the serious fishing guys went with, the range and performance on that was awesome. I guess outboards are the thing now but I’d get the stern drive.
Boat manufactures need to understand that a doorway in all American homes built after 1960 have a height of 6 foot 8 inches, that should be the minimum height for clearance on above deck cabins and T-tops. Being a tall male, it is desired, and anyone appreciates the luxury openness of high ceilings, less claustrophobic feelings.
this boats simply not big enough, depending where you leave from and decide to go, crossing the Atlantic is a 3500mile trip. the full tank needed would be as much as this boat weighs.
