SPECIFICATION
OVERVIEW
The Stanley 28 is a beautiful small day boat with overnight accommodations for a weekend or coastal cruising. Inspired by the lobster boats of the Maine waters and built by the John Williams Boat Company, she is ruggedly constructed with a solid unidirectional fiberglass hull and beautiful craftsmanship with teak and mahogany details. For sale by her owners of almost 20 years, she has been well cared for and updated and is ready for her next owners to enjoy. A large open cockpit and pilothouse provide room for guests and below a simple interior with V-berth provides everything needed for sleeping aboard. Easily handled and well behaved, she is a classic Ralph Stanley design. Her original diesel engine was replaced in 1999 with a quieter, more powerful gas engine.
