Purpose-built for demanding waters, this 2008 Carolina Classic 28 combines a robust fiberglass hull with a functional layout designed for the dedicated angler. Measuring 8.66 meters in length with a 3.2-meter beam, the vessel offers stability and performance, achieving a cruising speed of 28 knots with a maximum of 35 knots. Propulsion is provided by twin 300hp Volvo Penta D4 engines, offering the power required for offshore transit and precise maneuverability.
The current owner has maintained the boat to a high standard, with recent service records including a full overhaul of turbines and heat exchangers in 2024, along with the installation of new AGM batteries and fuel tank maintenance in 2025. The helm is outfitted with an integrated Garmin suite, including 16-inch and 12-inch displays, a 48-mile radar, and a Volvo Penta engine management computer. For technical control, the boat includes electronic trim tabs and trolling valves to manage drift and speed while fishing.
Fishing utility is central to the design, featuring a dedicated live bait well, a fish catch tank, eight rod holders, and outriggers. Beyond its angling capabilities, the cabin accommodates one berth and a bathroom with an electric marine head. Onboard systems are comprehensive, featuring Webasto heating, a 220V inverter system, and an electric windlass with a 12kg Delta anchor. The vessel is protected by a complete winter enclosure and command bridge covers.
