About the Cutwater 28 C

The Cutwater line is built by Fluid Motion LLC, also known for Ranger Tugs. The 28 C is recognized for efficient diesel performance, thoughtful systems integration, and true owner-operator manageability.

Replacement cost for a similarly equipped new model exceeds $300,000.

Why This Boat

Many vessels in this size and age range present well cosmetically but carry deferred maintenance and aging systems. This Cutwater stands apart due to documented service history, meaningful recent mechanical updates, low generator hours, thruster-equipped docking confidence!

For the buyer seeking a diesel cruiser that is professionally maintained, mechanically current, and realistically priced within today’s market, this 28 C represents a compelling opportunity.

Trailer Available:

Separate/Optional offering -  2017 EZ Loader triple axle trailer. Tires renewed within 24 Months and ready for the road

Trailer capability significantly expands cruising flexibility for inland waterways, seasonal relocation, storage options, or emergency haul-out. Many comparable diesel cruisers in this class are not trailerable.

The C28 forward stateroom, with its convertible V-berth, television and private head with shower, offers exceptional privacy and comfort. The C28 adds the convenience of a mini-galley in this space (NW Edition) or bench seat with storage beneath (Luxury Edition) to create a welcoming after-hours retreat…or a separate hideaway for the kids.

The C28 includes a self-bailing innerliner cockpit that’s ideal for fishing or relaxing at anchor. A solid gate offers access to a custom transom platform with integral boarding ladder for watersports or easy access to tender or dock. The C28 cockpit seating plan incorperates a reversible seat integrated into the transom as well as flip-out seating from the Starboard and Port sides. With nearly 16 square feet of additional deck area, the cockpit on the Cutwater 28 also includes built-in cabinets for refreshments and extra storage volume..

Single-engine diesel power and the exclusive Cutwater Hull design combine to deliver admirable cruise speeds, and exceptional fuel economy to maximize range. Standard bow and stern thruster make docking a breeze. And being trailerable the C28 offers quick, convenient access to distant cruising waterways.
