Precision 28
Description
The P-27 became the P-28 with the addition of a swim step in an extended transom. These were only boats in the Precision line that featured an inboard diesel auxiliary and optional wheel steering. This step up in specification proved to be a challenge for their dealer network at the time, so not a lot were produced, but the boats are comfortable and sailed well and are quite popular with their owners.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
