These are great coments. I am excited at the prospect of building my next boat. Brian, you will be the first person I ring when that time comes.....unless I can get a bigger boat slip, and that aint going to happen. One last question. Is the 28 as hard on bravo drives as, say, a 29 fountain with the same 750 hp?

Yes, two 28' slips and one 24' slip. In two different docks. I dont mind if the boat sticks out a bit, but a boat long enough to justify twin motors would just get in the way of stuff IMO. A 28 AT or a 29 fountain would be about perfect for my future needs. Leasing a large slip from a marina isnt an option b/c our cabin is just yrds away from the boat docks right now. I would have to drive pretty far to the next marina which is gage's. Whats your story?

I LUV my 28AT!! I have a twin 350magMPI boat & the ride should never be compared to a 29' fountain! i can run 55-60 in 3 footers and be comfortable...No chit it is a smooth ride. The boat is deeper, wider & longer than a 29' fountain or baja. In fact it is probably as long as a 32' fountain w/o the beak, or 30 baja w/o swim platform; but rides much better. The cabin is large and pretty nice; microwave, sink, head is a bit tight.

Oh BTW Brian, What is your neighbor asking for his Donzi? I'm curious as what sort of price tag I should put on it. When I put the for sale sign on it, I want it to sell, but I don't want to give it a way...anyway, thanks

28AT w/496HO=64-66mph; 500efi=71/72mph;525efi=74/75mph & with twin 350's=72 mph(best so far, next year tweaking)
As for the hull change in 04', ask Pat or Cosmic12...I think it got a bit smaller, esp. in the cabin.

Know much about this boat? I really like how clean it is, looks very well maintained, & that is a huge plus with me. I can apperciate someone who takes care of their boat in that manner...Think upper 60's with the headers? Bout the only turn off, is the steel trailer, but I suppose I'd just have to buy an aluminum one

Sorry, I don't...I look thru the classifieds periodically so I am familiar with the ad, that's all. With the CMI's you could see 68mph...boat looks clean and well maintained, will prob. get 52.5-55k for it. I may sell my boat end of season...thinking about 64k.
