28' Rampage EXPRESS SPORTSMAN 28 Sports Fishing Boats

***RECENT PRICE REDUCTION***  

One of the finest sportsmen’s boats on the market she is a dream for the casual and die-hard angler alike.  With her cutting lines and Modified-V hull she is one of the all-time greats in her class.  Built in Rhode Island by Tillotson-Pearson, the original builders of Rampage and pioneers of fiberglass boat building, she was designed to head miles off the New England Coastline, grab the big tuna and return in a strong southwesterly.  Step aboard and you will quickly find this amply evident with the huge cockpit, extra wide gunwales, raised helm seating, and superior build quality.  Recent Survey (2013) available, 

A special find, this Rampage sports an all New 2010 Repower that will get you 20% better fuel economy, numerous new components, and a rebuilt transmission coupled with twin screws that have been balanced and prop-scanned.  She has 320hrs on her new Crusaders and a high capacity fuel tank giving her an extended range not found in many boats of her size.  Oil Changed every 50hrs. With a good turn of speed to get you on the fish the sharp entry, hard chine, and bow flare provides for exceptional rough water handling and the feel of a much larger Sportfishermen at a fraction of the price at the pump!

In excellent shape, this boat has been well maintained and cared for by her knowledgeable owner.  Read the full specifications on this vessel and you will see significant improvements and maintenance history that tells of a vessel ready for another 25+ years of service.  From the stripped and barrier coated bottom to the new looking gelcoat, freshly installed cockpit teak and new exterior cushions she has all the appearances of a blue ribbon show quality boat.  Get down in the engine spaces via the unique “Sliding Roller” helm seat for quick and easy access to the mechanicals and you will find many of the recent upgrades such as new power plants, rebuilt transmission, fuel lines, sending units, helm controls, and dripless shaft seals.

For those that enjoy spending more than a few hours onboard, the cabin arrangement is larger than expected, complete with full galley including new refrigerator, convertible V-Berth that comfortably sleeps 3 and a well appointed enclosed head.  A folding table provides extra counter space for the chef in a pinch and converts to functional space for studying charts, playing a game with the kids, or sorting your nautical trinkets.

Return topside and you will feel like you walked out onto the deck of a 45-footer.  The 80sq ft. cockpit provides the ideal workspace for a group of anglers with obvious double usage potential as an entertainment space for a crowd of friends.  With excellent 360º visibility from the helm the skipper will undoubtedly be reluctant to give up his seat; that’s ok though as these rampages are built tough for fishing but have the manners for comfortable family cruising.

For those looking for Tremendous Value in a Manageable Size of vessel, this Rampage Express Sportsman is worth a look.  With new power, numerous upgrades/replacements as well as the look of a much younger vessel she is clearly a boat that outshines most others!  

She can be seen by appointment and her owner will consider all serious offers. Make an appointment today by contacting your listing broker. We look forward to seeing you dockside.
