2018 NauticStar 28 XS

The 2018 NauticStar 28 XS is a 28-foot center console built for fishing and family use. Twin Suzuki engines produce 600 hp and have logged 350 hours. The fiberglass hull spans 9'8" in beam and features a 21-degree deadrise at the transom for stability, rising to 50 degrees at the bow. The design includes extreme bow flare for comfort and water displacement, plus a reverse chine that aids planing and lift for a dry ride in moderate seas.

Navigation and fish-finding equipment includes dual Simrad GPS units, Simrad radar, fish finder, and depth finder. The boat carries a Lewmar windlass with stainless steel anchor and dual switches, Bennett trim tabs, and a battery charger. A port for an automatic fishing reel is installed. The head is mounted in the console with an automatic waste pump-out system.

Entertainment and comfort gear encompasses a Fusion radio, two JL Audio subwoofers, two JL Tower speakers, and two additional JL Audio speakers installed in September 2024. Canvas covers protect the console and engines.

The bottom was painted with Pettit Trinidad HD Pro paint in May 2025, which carries a three-year warranty. The last service was completed at 330 hours in June 2025.
