Great boat. Really in good shape.
Welcome. You already know how great the people here can be if you need help.
I'm a bit of a patriot, so I'd keep the boat / trailer combination in red, white, and blue.
How about a captain's report?

Welcome! Nice boat, and the trailer doesn't look too bad. What part of cumberland are you on?

Not anytime soon, but yes... one of these days when the right deal comes along, an A28 is in my future!

A couple years ago at TRL I slipped next to an A28 and fell in love. Every morning I would go down to the dock to open my boat and wipe it down, and then I'd spend time looking at that A, walking to both sides, studying, looking inside, thinking, looking at every line, dreaming and imagining. A couple mornings the top was off so I could see inside. Then one morning the owner was there. We talked, he invited me aboard to see his boat, and that solidified the deal. Once inside that baby I tried to soak every minute of it up. I sat down at the helm, and (seriously) that freakin thing spoke to me...

I loce the 260 series. And after an A, I may go back to one. But yeah, I'll own one when the timing and the deal is right! I never finance a toy, and to me a boat is definitely a toy. So if I can't pay cash or trade into one by buying outright and then selling mine, then I'll have to wait. But it WILL happen!

The lines of the A28 are arguably the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, and while I’ve never been on one I love the interior layout and helm. I feel like I will own one some day, but not anytime soon.

Yt. I think you’d look great in an A28. The question is, can you find a black one? My money’s on you.
