New Chris-Craft 28 GT breaks cover
Chris-Craft stamps its style on a new 28 GT with metallic paint, cross-stitched upholstery, varnished mahogany, V8 sterndrives or twin outboards, and a trick convertible transomChris-Craft will stage the world premiere of its new Launch 28 GT, a cool new boat with an entirely new design and hull for the classic-boat brand, at the 2018 Miami International Boat Show from February 15-19.
A big feature of the new Launch 28 GT is a new, convertible, walk-through transom with a reversible sunpad that, at the press of a button, moves fore and aft for lounging. It can also create additional impromptu seating for extra crew while underway.
Expanding the boat’s interface with the water, the Launch 28 offers a variety of boarding options — from the transom, via the side dive door, or one of the three swim ladders dotted about the decks.
The new Launch 28 GT is available with the option of sterndrive power — including big-block V8s from MerCruiser and Volvo Penta — or outboard power in twin configuration. Consider a joystick almost standard.
There is also a wide choice of the customisations to stamp your own style on the Launch 28 GT. From metallic paints and matching outboard cowls to a new cross-stitched upholstery, the Launch 28 GT will showcase some true Chris-Craft classic style.
Varnished mahogany will be a feature of the show boat at the 2018 Miami International Boat Show, reflecting a strong devotion to craftsmanship, the Sarasota-based yard says.
One of the most distinguishing features of the new Launch 28 GT is said to be the elegantly-styled folding tower.
The tower provides shade for the cockpit and can be used for watersports. When not in use, the electric tower folds forward for towing or ease of storage.
