The Valhalla V-28 is a true masterpiece in the world of bay boats. Whether you're an angler seeking the thrill of a fishing adventure or a family looking for a day of cruising in comfort, this 28-foot vessel has you covered.
Like the existing fleet of V Series center consoles, the V-28 will utilize the patented Stepped-V Ventilated Tunnel running surface from Michael Peters Yacht Design that reduces drag while increasing speed, stability and efficiency.
V-28 owners will have great flexibility when it comes to powering the boat with four Mercury and three Yamaha outboard engine configurations: single Mercury V10 400hp Verado, twin Mercury V6 225hp 4 stroke, twin Mercury V8 300hp 4 stroke; single Yamaha V8 450hp and twin Yamaha I4 200hp. With a 130-gallon fuel capacity, the V-28 has excellent range, and we expect the redundancy of the second engine to be very popular.
With a hull draft of 18”, owners and crews can fish in shallow water bays or run out front on calm days to near-shore reefs.
The V-28 was designed for maximum live well and fishbox capacity, featuring dual in-deck 25-gallon live wells in the corners of the aft casting platform. You can also opt for an additional live well at the bow (28 gallons). The V-28 will also feature dual in-deck fishboxes that are plumbed to a Whale Gulper Pump for ease of maintenance.
There is no shortage of lockable rod storage on the V-28, which includes up to four rod lockers under the bow casting deck. The two aft lockers can each fit three rods up to 7’, while the two forward lockers can each hold five rods from 6’6” to 7’. In addition, each forward locker can be configured to house one 9’ fly rod.
Like current V Series models, the robust helm design will feature premium equipment and electronics options, including dual 16” multifunction displays (MFDs) from Garmin or Simrad or a single 22” Garmin or 19” Simrad. Additionally, dual 19” Garmins are available. The helm also features a row of backlit-labeled Bocatech switches and a fiberglass helm pod (teak and faux teak available). Additionally, a port glove box with 12V and USB outlet and specialty features such as paddle switches on the steering column for effective handling of the standard jack plate(s) and engine trim are standard.
An optional hardtop will be available with the same features as larger Valhalla models. You can also opt for a stand-on console second station helm – ideal for owners looking for a height advantage while sight fishing.
The V-28’s accommodations are both abundant and flexible, with an aft casting deck flip-up bench seat, large leaning post or helm seat module, console seat and the ability to add cushions and teak backrests for additional seating on the bow casting deck.
It is no secret that trolling motors have become a part of everyday fishing on a bay boat. That is why we have designed the bow casting deck around the premier 36V trolling motors by Minn Kota, Power Pole, Rhodan and Garmin. A 60Ah lithium battery is included in the optional trolling motor package to maximize fish time and minimize the weight of the traditional three 12V AGM battery configuration. We have also designed and developed a dedicated compartment for the lithium battery located under the bow casting deck.
