well when you have a small shop you have to move things around to work on the things that are paying the bills.....the stuff you see around the 28 is the interior of a 23....that we are finishing for the show...

no the 28 will not be ready in time for the show.....as we still have a few refinements to make on the bottom....and we are concentrating on the cat, to make an appearance...

Bobby,
if you already have a 27, then why a 28? Just curious. Will the 28 be a tad wider than your 27?

the 28 is 12" wider, and we redesigned the top, just a tad...and raised it up for more free board and head room as well....we also ran the lifting strakes all the way back, and we are venting the bottom, along with a single step, and built in a rather large swim step....and when all is said and done we will have the same amount of room in the cockpit area as the Nordic 35'....we have been doing some home work...and this is what we came up with ....no copies!.....and the 27 will still be offered , but we listened to all the peeps who have been asking us to make it wider and taller and more roomier...and we have ..I hope this answers your questions ..

You answered all of them. Thanks. I always wondered if you customers were asking for something a tad wider.

12 inches wider? That thing must be very roomy inside. Sweet. I need to take a look at that. :cool:

Where is the progress of this boat? Does that mean you guys have scratched the 32' ? The 32 was in the works forever and never saw anything.

Hope all is well.

I was there a couple weeks ago and the molds are complete on the 28 and it is ready to build.

Now that the 28 is complete, they will take a deck and stretch it to the 32 so all the Vs will have the same look.

the 32 is still in the works.. it was just not turnning out like we wanted it to... so now the 28 is done.. and as soon as we find some more money to build one we will be getting it out .... the plug is still upside down.. or I would take a few pics... but I can tell you if you like the way the 27 looks as far as style... you are going to love the 28 and if we ever finish the 32 they will in fact all look the same...
