The larger, even roomier, more powerful A28 has been built for discriminating boaters of all ages.

With its three feet of extra space, the A28 amplifies the A25's proven virtues, none more important than a ride now approaching perfection. But we begin with looks, the handsomeness of an inverse hull whose complexity only yacht makers have seen fit to attempt, the sweep of a profile that can come only from Cobalt hand-craftsmanship. The A28 interior will wow, as a soft aura of luxury surrounds you and your guests. The bow is broader in the beam, roomy and then some, with immediately reconfigurable seating. More practicality here too, in the added head compartment and yet more storage.

In the quantum leaps in technology, among all its genuinely new features, the A28 shows forth hour upon skilled man-hour of refined Cobalt craftsmanship -- in the upholstery, at the helm, in the rubbed perfection of the gelcoat -- and the payoff comes in years of reliable, worry-free enjoyment.

But then, you knew that.
