2008 Back Cove 29 Hardback

This 2008 Back Cove 29 Hardback is a single-engine downeast cruiser with a Yanmar diesel producing 260 horsepower. The boat cruises at 18 knots and reaches 23 knots at full throttle. The fiberglass hull is finished in dark blue with a white deck, and the boat features a composite hardtop with full hardback cabin enclosure—a factory upgrade that defines the model.

The helm deck includes upholstered seating, faux wood trim panels, a mahogany wheel, and a teak table. The cabin interior features cushioned upholstery in Baltic Ultrasuede, along with an Oceanair hatch shade and screen. Climate control comes from a 28,000 BTU Accuheater with defrost ducting. A Reverso oil change system and Side Power stern thruster round out the mechanical upgrades.

Navigation and communication are well-equipped with a Raymarine C-120 color chartplotter, 48-mile radar, GPS, sounder, and ICOM VHF radio. A Xantrex 2000-watt inverter/charger with dedicated battery bank provides power management. Anchoring capability includes a Lofrans windlass with 100 feet of chain and 200 feet of rope.

Additional protection measures include a barrier coating applied below the waterline for blister prevention. The boat carries a substantial ground tackle package with a 22-pound stainless steel anchor.
