launch 28 Chris Craft Boats

The Launch 28 is an uncompromising family day-boat that offers the best of both worlds. It's stylish and elegant, but it's also amazingly practical. It is the largest member of the Launch family. The combination of a wide-beam and a larger forward seating area provides impressive comfort with ample space for the entire family. The larger beam can accommodate a range of twin engine packages. You can specify up to 425 hp which gives the 28 a truly impressive performance for a bowrider. This model also has an increased fuel capacity, allowing for a longer cruising range.
