Bill,

No the boat you have is the 28 SVL.
What makes this boat an EVO-R is that it has a removable canopy top. R being for removable/race.
This model starts it's life as a standard EVO then Lavey goes back to the full SVL mold and makes the canopy top.

You gotta be old to make the comparison, but '61 Chevy Bubble Top. Way Cool.

Chris, and Eric making sure everything is flowing, checking for any leaks, and coming up to temp before heading out.

If the top is meant to be removable, how much does it weigh? Awesome feature for us northern boaters when fall hits!

I don't know as I wasn't around for final assembly but maybe Chris knows.

From the shop floor It appeared to be a 2 person job similar to removing/replacing a fixed hard top on a convertible. The hardware is all locking quick release.

It was quiet and calm inside and even with an Ilmor 710 a few feet from us we could have a reasonable conversation at 65 mph.

The lucky Germans that are buying up these rigs run in the baltic sea and have a very short warm season and "option in" things like the power canopy and heated seats.
