Main thing is it is adding the DDC bottom, aka a step. The 29 will be faster than the 28 and have an extra foot of room in the cockpit. Sounds awesome.

Plus we will be increasing the headroom down the center like the 33s and 37s. The 'dip' will only be 1".

Default 28 vs. 29

Sounds like a nice piece of machinery, any word on amenities? I'm assuming an enclosed head and such like 28, extra head room is always a positive for anyone. I'm a massive fan of a single engine setup, is there any room for advanced power options? I'm definitely interested in seeing more of how this boat plays out. Love the Active Thunder brand.

We are using the cabin liner that is in the 28. Only diff. below will be headroom down the center.

Also the increase in cockpit has always bugged me. Kinda like being at a football game and having to stand up so some guy can get by me to take a leak..... The people sitting down in the back seat will have a lot more room!

Open down the center with full bow access. No ducking. Think of it as a 'split' center console. But we have room in front of the cockpit for some ammenities.

The idea was derived from the Malibu Wakesetter I bought for Casey. Very well though out boat.

And the port side has an enclosed pit-stop for the girls. Starboard built in galley/ bar.

Thoughts?
Going "Left Coast" on us there brother?
