This well maintained H28 is a turn key boat ready for summer. Its a true gentleman's motor cruser, either for the avid sailor or a couple looking to putput their way to a pretty anchorage.
Very easy boat to sail solo. Increadibly stable and seaworthy. Clean, tidy and well maintained.
I've slept many nights comfortably on the settee berths (i'm over 6 ft) with the lee cloth up and the 2 quarter berths are ideal for kids, smaller adults or heaps of storage. Up fwd there is a bathroom compartment in lieu of a V berth. This offers a sink, storage, self draining shower recess and head behind a closed door, offering a great deal of privacy.
I've loved the boat but looking to change to a more little kid friendly power boat. I'm open to discuss potential trades.
