The 2026 Thunder Jet 28 Pilot is a 28-foot aluminum sportfish built to handle serious offshore conditions. Power comes from twin Mercury Verado 250XL V8 engines paired with a Mercury 25EXLPT Pro Series kicker, all managed through joystick control with Skyhook technology. The hull carries full paint, and the cockpit features Hippo lining for durability and easy maintenance. Stainless steel props and a welded platform kicker bracket support the fishing mission, while shock-wave suspension seating provides comfort during extended runs.
The cabin includes a V-berth with window, sliding door, and roof ladder for access. A 2-burner alcohol stove covers basic galley duties, and a Wallas diesel heater with separate tank handles warmth in colder months. Shore power is installed. The boat carries a 150-gallon fuel tank and an insulated transom fish box for storage. A port hull side door allows direct cockpit access.
Kicker controls are positioned at an auxiliary station for precise maneuvering. Navigation and awareness systems include a radar mount, 20-inch LED light bar, LED docking lights, and windshield washer kit. The cabin also features a premium stereo with four speakers and dual USB charging ports. A remote battery switch manages electrical systems, and a stern cover protects the engines when the boat is idle.
The package includes an EZ Loader trailer equipped with electric over hydraulic brakes and a spare tire, making transport straightforward.
