Prof. M-

Thank you....

It's a 28' Seaworthy. The hull was originally a BHM 28 but it's my understanding that at some point the mold was bought by a fellow, Steve Law who now builds them under this new name in Arundel, Maine if I am not mistaken.

Most of them seem to get a Yanmar 315 which seems to be the perfect match for this hull, 18 kt cruise is about right. This one has a 63 series 370hp Volvo, I was told the original owner wanted a bigger engine...

They are now being marketed by NE Yachts and they seem to be doing a good job promoting them. But, you have to want a downeast boat. It's not gonna run at 30 kts, It's a single engine. They handle best running 18 or so. Not for everyone, but they are sure great to fish this area.
