Meet the 28H
One hull for bluewater and the flats.
The 28H is a custom hybrid that fishes offshore and drafts shallow enough for the flats, in the same hull. At 28 feet with a 9’3" beam, it runs twin engines up to 600 HP, carries 150 gallons of fuel, and handles bluewater with a 28-inch deep cockpit, outriggers and a full tower with a second station. Then it drafts 15 inches.
Add the 55 sq ft forward casting deck, dual Power-Poles and a trolling motor with i-Pilot, and you’ve got a flats boat on the front of an offshore sportfisher. Up to 150 gallons of livewell, 20 rod holders, cushioned seating throughout and enough deck to bring the whole family.

Owners
In theirown words
“Well built and rides very good in a chop. I was impressed at the fishability and stability.
Lucas M., 28H
“We towed her behind our larger vessel to the Bahamas in March, breaking 8 ft plus waves the whole way. Rinsed her off and enjoyed her for two weeks. Not a single issue.
David K., Fort Lauderdale
