1988 Ellis Down East

A 28-foot Ellis Down East from 1988, built with a fiberglass hull and powered by a Yanmar diesel engine. This cuddy cabin design combines the classic working-boat aesthetic of a Down East hull with practical cruising capability in a compact package.

The layout centers on a small cabin forward with berth space, leaving the open cockpit as the primary operating area. This arrangement suits coastal cruising and day trips, with the cabin providing shelter for overnights or refuge from the weather.

The boat's moderate beam of 9 feet and established Ellis build quality provide a solid foundation for extended use in varied conditions.
