Echo 28 Page

I'm the original owner of Echo and I got my two cent's worth in when the boat was still a glint in the yacht builder's eyes and while she was under construction. She's a production boat, but a few minor changes would make her semi-custom. We've had her since new and she's a great boat; rugged, well found and she sails well. There are no surprises out on the water and she can take just about anything the lake can throw at her. But, we've moved on to a much larger vessel. We're spending most of the summer there, almost living aboard, so a little more room is needed down below. My wife has developed a sun allergy and doesn't spend a lot of time above deck. However, we kept Echo as a back up in case the bigger boat turned out to be too much for us to handle. Things are turning out well, so we're reluctantly hanging a for sale sign on our much beloved vessel. She's got lots of life in her and she's ready to deliver many more cruises to a new captain. Someone's going to get a heck of a boat. If our new one (new to us anyway) turns out half as good as this one has been, I'll be very happy. Oh, and Plan B is to move her to the Caribbean.

If you're in the market for a great boat that's loaded with quality (read as expensive) equipment, check out the inventory list. There's a lot more than you normally find on a 28 ft boat. With her 25 ft waterline and 9 - 6 beam she's very roomy. Click on the For Sale icon for the complete inventory.

Hey, it's a Kodak moment. He took my picture and I took his. It's hard to get pictures of your own boat 'on the water'. I got his photos and he got mine....
