That's a whaler guardian series, primarily sold to Military and government agencies. Part of the gunwhale lifts out for divers. Hell of a boat, however the one you're looking at will beat you like a rented mule. It sure ain't a Bertram.

WOW, my 28 welly with twin 5.7's runs 35 mph at 3500 rpm and tops out at 48 mph and is a wallet burning gas thirsty SOB... I can't imagine feeding a smaller (and likely) lighter boat that is that much slower!

Love it Dave, but too big for me, now anyhow.

I like that 28 of your friends but I do not want the single seat arrangement on the helm. Don't like that at all.

The BW is out of the picture after the comments heard here and elsewhere.

This is what you NEED! The 30 is everything the 28 was, and took care of all of it's shortcomings. It has a slightly lower deadrise which makes her a little slower than the deep V hulls in teh snot, but is a drier ride with higher sides for fishing and a USEABLE cabin in it for 2 to weekend on. They're super rare hulls, and until recently were priced out of sight(5 years ago tehse boats were fetching $50K plus with gas power that was getting tired).

Only thing better would be if this one is still for sale.
