Manufacturer Provided Description
The style of the Down East lobster boat has been closely associated with Maine's proud boat building heritage. The Back Cove 29 is a most recent example of everything that makes the Down East lobster boat a work of art. She has a traditional spoon bow and her transom is gently sloped: a style that will turn heads in any harbor she enters. Below the surface she is modern and contemporary. A deep-vee hull with prop recess and standard trim tabs offers comfort and performance. With the optional 315 horsepower, 6 cylinder diesel engine, she reaches a top end of 29 knots and will cruise very comfortably in the mid 20's. Around the docks, you will appreciate the maneuverability provided by the bow and stern thruster. Has a Hard Top with aluminum wind shield, the Back Cove 29 is practical and beautiful. She is a delight to drive and a joy to behold.

Mechanical
- On Performance: "We ran flat out, circled, backed and filled, and I found that she is a comfortable, well-mannered, gentlemanly boat. From the helm, visibility is terrific. A standard Side-Power bowthruster makes around-the-docks maneuvering easy; after all, this is only a 29-foot boat. Hydraulic trim tabs are standard.
We carved through some turns at 3000 rpm, and the 10,000-pound boat banked easily. Running flat out, we hit 27.9 knots at 3800 rpm, but you could cruise all day at a comfortable 20.3 knots at 3000 rpm." - Yachting Magazine
- On Fuel Burn: "The test boat was powered b y a single 315-hp Yanmar diesel. According to factory tests on a Back Cove 29 rigged with the same power, the boat will burn about 10.8 gph at 3300 rpm (22 knots) for a range of approximately 270 nautical mile" - Motor Boating Magazine

The boat is as solid as they come; the hull is vacuum-bagged Divinycell core with multi-axial E-glass reinforcement and encapsulated foam stringers. The deck is cored with balsa."
