Default Who's got the best 28' Cat

I'm looking at stepping up to a 28' cat and wanted some opinions. I presently own a twin step 25' Daytona, love the boat but looking for something that will handle rougher water.

My twin 28 Daytona will step over some serious water. Night and day over your 25. My other boat is a 26 Carrera (which steps over water better than the 25) and its a BIG difference

My vote would definitely be for a Skater. There are several nice 28's on the market now. I sure wish I had room for one

Love my 28' Eliminator, no problems. Depending on power, the 28 Daytona can be very, very fast. I honestly feel that 28' cats should only be dual motor though, single engine takes good power to get to high speeds. Theres a dual small block 28 low deck that runs 140+ for sale, awesome boat, new motors, got mine up for sale, dual Hemi's!! "That things gotta a Hemi?" No no, it's got 2!

Check out the Profile. They are made here in Iowa, and they are very well built....

Hard to beat an Eliminator tho, they are awesome boats.....
