This 1988 Cape Dory 28 Hardtop is a fiberglass walkaround with classic lines and solid construction. The boat is powered by a turbocharged Volvo diesel engine rated at 230 horsepower, delivering a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 20 knots. At 28 feet in length with a beam of nearly 10 feet, the hull draws just 2 feet 8 inches, making it well-suited for shallow waters. The boat displaces 6,500 pounds and carries approximately 120 gallons of fuel for extended cruising.
The cabin provides sleeping accommodations for 2 to 4 adults and offers a comfortable layout for coastal cruising. The beam width of just under 10 feet contributes to stability underway.
Recent maintenance includes a new heavy-duty alternator, upgraded AGM battery bank for both house and engine start power, and a new battery charger installed in September 2025. An oil change, fuel filter replacement, oil filter service, and transmission fluid change were completed the same month. A bronze propeller upgrade to an Acme 18x16 pitch was made in 2022.
