I had a 1999 28 cat. Just sold it last month. Had it for seven years and loved it. When the gentleman was towing away that bought it, I was broken hearted. But, I just bought a 37 Active Thunder so that my wife and I could have more amenities and spend the night out on the boat. Profile has not always had a great reputation but mine was great. Every poker run we were in, the helicopters would fallow us and people always comment on how much they liked the boat. Enjoy the boating season (minus gas prices).

If it is propped right, probably would be ok, not much speed though. I bought mine without power, so can't really say. Make sure you check the transom as some of them went out from the factory without the exhaust being installed. The dealers installed the exhaust and used screws, not bolts to fasten the tips. This caused them to leak and rot the transom.
