The Precision 28 stands as the flagship of the Precision Boat Works line, representing the most ambitious collaboration between the Porter brothers and world-renowned yacht designer Jim Taylor. Introduced in the late 1990s, the Precision 28 was designed to bridge the gap between the "maxi-trailerable" market and the dedicated coastal cruiser category. While many Precision models are known for their ease of trailering, the 28-foot model moves into the realm of a true "pocket cruiser," featuring a substantial 10-foot 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 30-footer while maintaining the nimble, "small boat" handling characteristics that the Sarasota-based builder was known for.
