Questions about early 28's...
What year did Sunsation first put steps in the hulls of the 28's? How do the "non-step" hulls run?
A bit more specific, a 2000 28 Intimidator, stepped or non-stepped? What will it run with hp 500? How do they handle?

2005 is the first year for the full, single-step hull. A 2000 is non-stepped, but will have the "Vortex Generator" on each side of the hull running from the chine to the first strake. Although from the side it appears to be a step, it is not.

If you want to go way back, my 1995 (the 6th one built) 288, which was called the Intimidator then, with a HP500 carb motor, ran 73.6 on GPS brand new. Still runs that now with a rebuild at 300 hours.

That actually is a bit faster than I had thought, in a non stepped hull. How do they handle in rougher water?
I really like the looks of them, there seems to be a few decent ones with HP's in them for sale right now.

Since you are in Ms, contact Jassman in Diamond Head and have him take you out on his 4300 NorTech - then you will have a feel for how the 28 rides....tell him Juicy sent you...
