Key Features & Highlights

• Length & Beam: 28’1” overall length with an 8’6” beam – a spacious layout that’s still legally trailerable without special permits. Plenty of heft for offshore stability yet easy to tow to your favorite launch.

• Twin Engines: Twin Mercury 225 HP two-stroke outboards (~500 hours) provide dependable power. Well maintained and running strong, they offer cruising speeds in the mid-20s (knots) and a top end around 45 knots.

• Electronics: Equipped with a Raymarine radar system for safe navigation in any weather. Includes GPS/chartplotter, fishfinder, and VHF radio – all the electronics needed for confident offshore fishing and cruising.

• Fishing Amenities: Built for serious angling with a 42-gallon transom livewell, two insulated in-deck fish boxes, and ample rod storage (4 gunwale rod holders plus recessed under-gunnel racks). The leaning post features a backrest and built-in cooler, serving as a convenient rigging station and tackle center.

• Comfort & Seating: U-shaped bow seating with cushions, a forward console seat, and a fold-down rear bench provide comfortable spots for family and crew. A roomy console compartment with a marine head offers privacy and convenience for long days on the water.

• Solid Build & Ride: Mako’s legendary build quality shines in the 282. It’s heavily built on a solid fiberglass hull with a deep-V 23° deadrise, delivering a stable, “sweet riding” offshore experience. Trim tabs and a full wrap-around bow rail add to the secure, dry ride in rough conditions.

• Included Trailer: Sale includes a heavy-duty tandem-axle trailer for easy transport and storage. Having a trailer expands your range – and with the 8’6” beam, this 28’ center console is one of the largest boats you can trailer without an over-width permit.

Additional Features: 235-gallon fuel capacity for extended range offshore, integrated swim/dive platform with boarding ladder for easy water access, an anchor locker (with optional bow pulpit) for easy anchoring, cockpit lighting for night fishing, and more – this boat is turn-key ready for your next fishing trip or family day on the water.
