This 1996 Premium 28-foot center console is a purposed-built parasail boat powered by a 2020 Volvo Penta D6-340A diesel engine rated at 340 horsepower. The boat features a fiberglass hull with cored topsides and transom, reinforced FRP stringers, and an aluminum swim platform. The deck is cored fiberglass with textured non-skid finish and includes an aluminum-framed helm canopy, bow anchor locker, wraparound stainless steel railings, and integrated deck hardware. The DPI-A drive system includes electronic trim control and hydraulic steering for responsive handling.

The open cockpit layout centers on passenger flow and operational safety.

The boat carries dual battery banks installed in 2020, a closed cooling system with heat exchanger, and a raw water intake with seacocks. The parasailing system consists of a Custom Chutes hydraulic winch installed new in 2020, rated at 4500 PSI and designed for commercial operations. Bilge capacity includes both aft and forward pumps with manual and float switch control. Standard safety equipment includes eight Type I PFDs, fire extinguishers dated 2023, navigation lights, and required placards.
