The Precision 28 stands as the flagship of the Precision Boat Works line, representing the most ambitious collaboration between the Porter brothers and worldrenowned yacht designer Jim Taylor. Introduced in the late 1990s, the Precision 28 was designed to bridge the gap between the "maxitrailerable" market and the dedicated coastal cruiser category. While many Precision models are known for their ease of trailering, the 28foot model moves into the realm of a true "pocket cruiser," featuring a substantial 10foot beam and an inboard diesel engine that distinguishes it from its smaller siblings. According to Jim Taylor Yacht Designs, the design goal was to create a boat that offered the interior volume of a 30footer while maintaining the nimble, "small boat" handling characteristics that the Sarasotabased builder was known for.
