Thanks for the January Fun Run pics... It's great to actually see what these beauties look like running on the water!

It's a 28 for sure. I believe that one is powered by a 496.Nice boat.They are big 28's when you see them up close and they have a ton of freeboard.

That is a really nice 2001 28 owned by boatfreak28 here on OSO. He has a 496HO with CMI headers. That boat ran GREAT on the trip, and he held his own in the ocean. He is the first owner of the boat, and its in really nice shape. He lives outside of Indianapolis, and runs the boat on Lake Michigan, Lake Cumberland, and all over the midwest. (Keep in mind the boat is true 28' of hull, not including the bolted on swim platform.)

Let me know when you want to pull the trigger on the Boat Show Special AT 28 Savage w/ 525EFI/XR.

Yes, that is a huge 28. The freeboard, among other things, is one of the main reasons the AT tops my list.

If you are thinking 28AT and you are coming from a 22 scarab it will feel like a 35 to you. I loved my 28 and after a long search and I did look at everything. The A.T. is the biggest best handeling single engine boat out there that gives you free board and a large cabin. Try one and you will be sold

I owned a 25 AT also and had a blast for four years with it. I have also driven a 28 and was equally impressed with the ride quality and overall secure feeling. You can't go wrong with any of Pat's boats no matter what size. Everyone that owns one already knows that. The pics from Key Largo were awesome and I am sure everyone had a blast. I will be joining the ranks again as soon as possible.
