One of the best looking 28's ever made. What kind of power, and what speeds do you expect

WARPAINT 03-20-2003 02:24 PM

I like it like that!
Keep us informed on your progress.
Thank you.

Sean 03-20-2003 04:03 PM

Looks NICE! Is it me or does the X-dimension look low? It could be that this boat has alot of freeboard which makes it look low...

Hessdk,

I was on your boat this weekend. It is beautiful. My 36 came out of the mold today.

Good luck

BODYSHOT1 03-20-2003 11:09 PM

:cool:

Did the step the bottom out on the new 28's? Will they do twins still? Lookin good. My neighbor has a 28 Brave w/ Twin 650 Keith Eickerts, very fast 28. He was talkin about gettin a new one if they made any changes.

Hessdk 03-21-2003 09:21 AM

They will do a single or twin engine setup. As for the hull, this has one small step vs. the 36' which has two small steps. The boat is also built with no wood.

Semper Fi 03-21-2003 09:28 AM

Nice looking 28'. Please post some more pics when it is finished....thanks

BLee 03-21-2003 09:28 AM

Cool, that step will be a big improvement. I betcha can't wait!

Roger 1 03-21-2003 09:53 AM

Nice looking boat! It looks real nice in white. Nice lines and proportion. It`s almost a shame to put graphics on it.

Is this the first stepped 28? If any other have been built what kind of speed did they get.
I almost bought a Apache 28 in the early 90's. The one I was looking at had 454 mags and would run well into the 70's. A very solid boat!!!!

Agreed, this boat is one of the few boats that can look great without graphics.

Congrate's buddy, can't wait to see her up here this summer. Krista and I got to see her in person monday at the shop and it is a great boat. Ralphie was doing your downstairs interior while we were there,can't wait for a ride. Steve

I took delivery in mid May, however have not used her much due to all of the rainy weekends we have had. She is now getting graphics, so hopefully when I get her back the weather will be more cooperative. Here is a picture before graphics.

Good luck, boat is beautiful

Did you end up taking it to Maryland for the graphics??

Looks great - I was wondering what the status was.

BryanTuvell 06-11-2003 08:41 PM

So what are the initial preformance numbers for this single with a new 525, or expectations?
Thanks, best of luck to you with her.....

David,

Looks great. Let me know when you get it back with graphics. Can't wait to see her in person!!!! Tommy

Sydwayz 06-11-2003 09:38 PM

Where in VA are you?

Hessdk 06-12-2003 05:51 AM

Thanks for the compliments. I live outside of Richmond and boat on the James River. Lake "X" test results: Flat water, two adults, half tank fuel = 71 MPH on GPS.
