Master Marine is commited to building the ideal fishing boat - strong - efficient - economical & beautiful. Developed initially for tuna fishing off the New England coast, our 28' boat has proven itself in fishing grounds around the world.
Dual lifting strakes reduce the wetted surface at speed while the wide chines provide rock-steady stability while trolling, drifting or at anchor. The "Carolina-style" flare drives spray down and away for a soft, dry ride and allows us to carry the deck width forward to the gently rounded bow. Our cabin boats have the widest walkaround and most fishing space of any boats in their class!
All True World Marine models are constructed with hand-laid, solid fiberglass hull bottoms and sides; Vinyl foam cored decks, hatch covers and cabin structures; bilge and bulkhead surfaces are sealed with barrier coats. Our fully encapsulated stringer system is bonded to the hull and our inner liners are bonded mechanically fasten to meet or exceed U.S. Coast Guard standards and requirements.
Hulls are solid, hand-laid fiberglass, providing incredible strength and rigidity. Deck and cabin base are laminated as one piece, giving more strength and making cabin space isolated. Decks and hatches are cored with Vinyl foam to reduce weight without sacrificing durability. Aggressive Diamond Pattern nonskid decks guarantee sure footing. In-deck fish boxes, live fish tanks and storage compartments are surrounded by extra-deep drain channels. Hardware is marine-grade T316 stainless steel thru-bolted, with backing plates glassed in. Thru-hull fittings are brass, and hoses are double clamped for safety. Wiring harnesses are routed through PVC channels, and multiple, high-flow bilge pumps are standard equipment.
We are proud to have received the ultimate vote of confidence-a long list of very satisfied owners. Owner's addition: The bottom was sandblasted to the fiberglass 3 years ago, primed, and receives new bottom paint annually.
