This past winter I picked up a 99 with a 502 and Procharged with 5 lbs. of boost. Turning a 28p B1. It runs low to mid 70's on GPS with a half tank of fuel and 4 people on board. Still playing with set ups at this time.

My wife and I overnight on our 28' all the time. We have even spent 8 full days on our boat. A few weeks ago 4 adults spent a full weekend on the boat. The head is large enough for a normal guy to fit it in, but it is tight. I use the head as a storage locker.

The 28 AT is a very large boat. I have been in 32's and the cabin does'nt seem that much bigger in the 32. I think the 28 even has more head room. The cockpits are the exact same size. the sun-pad is a little smaller on the 28 but big enough for four people to lay on and soak up the sun.

Yes we have stayed on the boat. I am 6' 3" and I installed the 5.0 gal. cap. porta potti and I can fit. Your not going to spin around at that size but the kids say they need privacy. It works for its size. It has a huge cabin for a 28 and the most usable space for a boat of its size and style. I researched several brands and tested a lot of boats before making my choice.
Michigan has unbelievable types of water for boating, from the beaches of the great lakes, to the cliffs and waterfalls of Superior, to the several inland waterways. You can always find what you like for different occasions.

I have been on Chris's 28 AT.
A real big boat for a 28. Deep cockpit and a big cabin along with a great ride in messy water make it a great single engine boat.

The first one was built in 1998 and had twin 350s. We ran it on Stu's FPC Key West run. We built 4 that year.
