2004 Custom Norsco Marine 28

2004 Norsco Marine 28 Pilothouse - Twin Volvo Diesel | Trailer IncludedSerious Offshore Capability. Built for the Pacific Northwest. Ready to Fish.

There are aluminum boats-and then there are true Pacific Northwest-built machines designed to run hard, fish harder, and bring you home when the weather turns.

This Norsco Marine 28 is one of those boats.

Purpose-built with welded 5052 aluminum construction, a fully enclosed pilothouse, and a rare twin diesel inboard/outdrive configuration, this vessel delivers a level of durability, efficiency, and offshore confidence that most outboard-powered boats simply cannot match.

From salmon and tuna runs offshore to all-day trolling and coastal cruising, this is a platform that inspires confidence the moment you step aboard.

Notably, the vessel has a fresh survey completed in April 2026, and the outdrives have just been serviced-giving the next owner immediate peace of mind heading into the season.

Power & Performance - Diesel Reliability, Offshore Confidence

At the heart of this vessel are twin Volvo Penta KAD43 Kompressor diesel engines, delivering dependable torque, fuel efficiency, and long service life.

• Twin Volvo Penta KAD43 diesel engines (230 HP each)
• Supercharged & aftercooled inline 6-cylinder configuration
• Volvo outdrives (duo-prop performance and efficiency)
• Freshwater-cooled via heat exchanger system
• Racor fuel filtration system
• Engine-driven alternators + onboard charging system

Paired with:

• Yamaha 4-stroke kicker motor (center-mounted on hydraulic lift)

This setup gives you:

• Reliable offshore cruising power
• Precision trolling control
• Redundancy and safety when it matters most

Hull & Construction - Built Like a Tank

This vessel is constructed entirely from welded 5052 marine-grade aluminum, offering unmatched strength and longevity.

• Heavy-duty welded aluminum hull, deck, and superstructure
• Deep-V offshore hull design for confident handling in rough water
• Welded aluminum rub rail and structural framing throughout
• Integrated swim platform
• Solid, rigid construction with no flex underfoot

This is the kind of build quality serious fishermen and commercial operators seek out-and rarely let go of.

Pilothouse & Interior - Functional, Comfortable, Purpose-Driven

Step inside and you'll find a true working pilothouse layout, designed for long days on the water.

• Fully enclosed aluminum cabin
• Three suspension helm seats for comfort in rough conditions
• Starboard-side helm with full visibility and control access
• Large forward windshield and sliding side windows
• Overhead hatch for ventilation and light

Forward:

• V-berth with storage below
• Escape hatch to foredeck

Additional features:

• Enclosed head (port side) with electric flush
• Durable aluminum interior with easy-clean finishes
• Cabin heating system (engine-fed heater) for cold-weather operation

This is a cabin built for real use-not just occasional cruising.

Electronics & Navigation - Fully Equipped Helm

The helm station is loaded with trusted electronics for navigation, fishing, and safety:

• Garmin Echomap UHD 93sv chartplotter
• Furuno NavNet system (radar + fishfinder integration)
• Furuno GPS unit
• Simrad AP26 autopilot
• Standard Horizon VHF radio
• Ritchie compass
• CB radio
• Full antenna array (VHF, radar, GPS) mounted on radar arch

Everything you need to confidently navigate offshore, locate fish, and stay connected.

Cockpit & Fishing Layout - Designed to Produce

The aft deck is where this boat truly shines.

• Wide, open aluminum cockpit with non-skid surface
• Dual engine access hatches below deck
• Built-in fish box with aerator system
• Downrigger mounting system installed
• 8 welded rod holders (cabin top) + additional holders aft
• Burnewin cleaning station
• Cockpit control station (trolling & docking controls)
  • Throttle/shift controls
  • Steering controls
  • Bilge and kicker controls

Additional features:

• Hydraulic trim tabs
• Welded storage boxes at transom
• Clean, efficient deck layout with excellent fishability

This is a serious fishing platform, not an afterthought.

Deck & Exterior Features

• Welded aluminum bow rail and safety rails
• Anchor platform with roller system
• Electric windlass with helm control
• Chain locker with deck access
• Radar arch with mounted antennas
• Triple horn system
• Heavy-duty cleats and hardware throughout

Every detail is built with durability and function in mind.

Electrical System

• 12V DC system
• Four battery bank setup (engine + house)
• Xantrex battery charger
• Shore power connection (30 amp)
• Full breaker panel at helm
• Clean, organized wiring throughout

Trailer Included - Major Value Add

Included in the sale is a triple axle Easy Loader trailer, making this a highly versatile and transportable package.

• Designed to properly support the vessel
• Ideal for long-distance transport or winter storage
• Significant added value compared to boats without trailers

Why This Boat Stands Out

There are plenty of aluminum boats on the market-but very few like this.

What sets this one apart:

• Twin diesel inboard/outdrive setup (rare in this class)
• Proven Pacific Northwest aluminum construction
• Fully enclosed, functional pilothouse layout
• Turn-key fishing configuration
• Trailer included
• Recent survey + fresh outdrive service
