Shannon Brendan 28

What an excellent boat! Steming from sailboat roots, Shannon Power Boats of RI have a solid reputation for finish, comfort and excellent seakeeping & directional stability, due to a wide beam and shallow draft keel. Key features include: excellent helm visability, wide side decks, roomy engine compartments, spacious cockpit, aluminum radar arch, and a fully functional cabin with stand up head & shower. 

A good clean example of this handsome and rugged design. "Spindrift" is fully equipped for offshore sport fishing or just fun day cruising.. She has an excellent electronics array including radar, chartplotter, fishfinder and VHF radio. There is a galley with refridgeration, and stove.

Offshore Magazine wrote "This boat is for the buyer searching for a quality, practical design, durable features, and excellent performance in a wide variety of sea conditions ----- the crisp lines and big cockpit of the Brendan 28 could be the image you've long searched for".

"Spindrift" has been exceptionally well cared for, and offers an outstanding, handsome cruising boat at a very attractive price. In fact, this combination of quality, fit, finish, appointments and styling, translates into a true value from every perspective.

Her twin Crusader 270hp 350 cu.in. engines perform flawlessly, and purr along easily at 16-18kts, burning about 9gph. She'll top out at 28kts, easily. Compression is even across the cylinders, and all hoses and fuel lines have been recently replaced, and with about 1200 hrs, the engines are just pleasantly broken in.  "Spindrift" has always been professionally maintained, and stored indoors in the off season. Her bottom was stripped and barrier coated before layup last season, and it looks like new with Micron CSC (very expensive bottom paint).  The blue Sunbrella bimini and full enclosure are in good condition. The hull is flawless, and the gelcoat shines like new!

The interior is spacious and accommodating, featuring a large V-berth, enclosed head, and galley unit.All electrical controls are readily accessible and highly visible at this panel.Excellent comfortable seating throughout.Compact galley with refrigeration. A comfortable enclosed head adds to your passenger's happiness offshore.

Overall, this fine boat offers the best of all worlds. It's handsome, spacious, economical and inexpensively priced. You'll not go wrong with this superior boat, and she's almost guaranteed to pass a very strong survey.
