Hello group, I am the proud owner of an Albin 25 for the past 18 years but looking for something a bit larger. In search of a Cape Dory 28. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
You might also look at the Ellis 28. Similar boat, very well made.

I in know way meant to put a CD 28 down as I would consider one myself. We did have one nearby that had saturated decks. Probably owner neglect. Just do your due diligence.I had a 1987 CD28 Flybridge with a 200hp Volvo. I sold it last March. Dave's numbers are about right. I cruised in the 11-13kt range at 2700-2800rpm. They are great boats for cruising. Lots of storage and space for a 28' footer. I never had an issue w/ wet decks nor did I hear that was a big issue among the CD community. They are known for gelcoat crazing which mine had in some spots but it was cosmetic and didnt cause any moisture issues. You may want to post your inquiry on the Capedory.org website. Good luck!
Nice boat, I was looking at these as well. There is one for sale in MI with 315 Yanmar, 62k firm, hard top, redone is suppose to be very nice. At the bottom end a 28 gas in NY estate sale due to death, original owner, but looks like it has needs listed at 27K. I offered low 20s but got no answer.
So, buying a Scout 30 in Long Beach. Missed the home coming queen, Windows that sold for 72k.That boat had almost 300 spent on her and was Hinckley perfect. So, getting the older sister. Damn, I missed the queen. Offered 70 last year and they turned it down. Shoulda woulda coulda....story.

I am really looking for a boat that could, theoretically, do a great loop. Has anyone added fuel tankage to this boat or similar? If you kept your speed down to 7 kph burning 2 gph with a 75 gallon tank that only gets you 262 miles. Perhaps enough but not much flexibility according to what I have read you need to plan for a 250 mile span between fuel docks.
Cape Dory 28 Flybridge in Oxford MD on Monday asking $35,000. I am going to take a look at it on Monday
(here is the link; if you are in the area maybe we could get in a bidding war) https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1987/cape-dory-flybridge-3204475/?refSource=browse%20listing
