28 XS Old

MASTER OF THE HUNT. AND THE POCKETBOOK.
A man captains a NauticStar 28 XS with two women passengers
The NauticStar 28XS Offshore is a serious fishing vessel that doubles as a great family friendly pleasure boat. Its hull design – 21 degrees deadrise at the transom and 50 degrees at the bow – provides for stability at rest and a soft ride in rough waters. The extreme bow flair allows for more comfort and displaces the water away from the passengers. The hull also has a reverse chine that helps the boat plane quickly, giving it more lift for a high and dry ride.
