2004 Carolina 28 Boat in Virginia Beach, VA 23451 US

She's the configuration serious Carolina Classic buyers look for: twin Volvo Penta KAMD300 turbo diesels on conventional straight shafts, not jackshafts to sterndrives. That means a clean transom with nothing to foul a line when you're backing down on a fish. The engine weight rides low and forward for the stable, soft-riding offshore ride the 28 is known for, and the drivetrain is simpler to maintain. Each 285 hp Volvo pairs a compressor and turbocharger under electronic diesel control for strong low-end torque and quick planing, with engine synchronization at the helm. The result is an easy, efficient 25-knot-plus cruise with efficient fuel burn.

Built without a tower for the buyer who wants the 28's big-water capability in a cleaner, lower-profile package. With less weight up high, she's steadier at drift and on anchor, and she fits under more fixed bridges, into covered slips, and on high-and-dry racks where tower boats can't go.
