Biggest issues on these boats is rotten balsa core in the decks and flybridge. Not a huge structural problem but costly to fix. Warning Signs...
8 knots is the worst speed on a 28 footer. You ll burn twice the fuel you would at 6kts.
that works well on pretty much all boats over 50’ where you ll get a hull speed of 9 kts and up. On a small boat like this though hull speed is...
How old is the boat? Unless you find a diesel which will fit that Vee drive and shaft, I don’t see this being a viable option as the costs will...
Sounds like an air leak. Start by purging. Full tank. Open 4 or 5 faucets. Turn on one pump, let it build pressure. Turn off the breaker for 10...

If the iso transformer was working fine before what are the odds? Marina breakers are often overlooked by maintenance staff... at what amperage...
Thabks for the feed back guys. I d love to upsize one of them but I doubt anything bigger will fit in the pockets. i d like to find a selection...
