Sea Magazine’s Brokers’ Choice Award.
Everything is built-in and integral which makes an incredibly sturdy and clean looking trailerable offshore fishing yacht.
The rigid T-Top provides protection from the sun on the flybridge, mounting for an 8-rod rack, and striking looks.
This is a very clean, mostly original, incredibly functional Skipjack 28 in the strongest old-school thick-hulled year he built them.
I bought this boat a few years back in Palm Desert, CA.
It was in impeccable original condition but had two worn out motors.
Right after I bought this and towed it to Nor Cal, my dream boat (Blackfin 29) came available and I bought it, as well.
This one sat in dry storage for a couple of years while I worked on and fished the Blackfin.
Once I got to the Skipjack, I replaced both engines with crate Indmar 5.
7l from Michigan Motorz, including rebuilt or replaced engine accessories and outdrive units.
So, the engine/outdrive package is in virtually brand new condition.
Should be a strong and problem free runner for many years.
