Overview
The Chris Craft Launch 28 Open is a distinguished model that embodies the brand's signature elegance and craftsmanship. As the flagship of the Launch series, this 28-foot open bow runabout combines retro styling with modern amenities, designed to fulfill the desires of discerning boaters seeking both performance and classic aesthetics. Its wide 10-foot beam and deep V-hull provide a stable and spacious platform ideal for entertaining and cruising.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The Launch 28 Open features a broad 10-foot beam that enhances onboard comfort and stability. The open bow design includes plush wrap-around seating upholstered in off-white, complemented by recessed stainless steel grab handles and flip-down padded drink holders, creating an inviting space for relaxation. The teak-finished swim platform with a telescoping boarding ladder facilitates easy water access, making swimming and boarding effortless and enjoyable.
Interior Living Spaces and Amenities
Forward of the helm lies a generously sized head compartment equipped with a vacuum flush toilet, a vanity area, and a stainless steel sink with a pressurized faucet, providing convenience and comfort for extended outings. The cockpit boasts an L-shaped seating arrangement with a chaise lounge to port, ideal for socializing. Adjacent to the captain's chair is a well-appointed wet bar featuring a sink, refrigerator, storage cabinets, and ample counter space for food and beverage preparation.
Helm and Controls
The helm station is thoughtfully designed with a captain's chair wide enough to accommodate two passengers comfortably. The nostalgic dash panel houses multi-function gauges that simplify instrumentation, while the soft vinyl steering wheel mimics the look of steel but offers enhanced grip and safety. Morris shifters and throttles complete the helm controls, providing precise handling and responsiveness.
Power and Performance
Weighing approximately 7,500 pounds and requiring a minimum of 43 inches of water clearance for its dual prop drives, the Launch 28 Open delivers commendable performance. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 52.6 miles per hour at 4,500 RPM. Optimal fuel efficiency was recorded at a cruising speed of 25 miles per hour and 2,500 RPM, yielding over two miles per gallon and an impressive range of 272 miles from its 150-gallon fuel tank.
Conclusion
The Chris Craft Launch 28 Open stands out as a unique blend of timeless styling, practical amenities, and solid performance. Its spacious layout and thoughtful features make it well-suited for entertaining and comfortable cruising. With its combination of classic design and modern functionality, the Launch 28 Open occupies a distinctive position in the realm of pleasure craft.
