At displacement speed, the 28 consumes about one gallon per hour. Running on the Fraser, we cruised 15 knots at 3200 rpm, topped out at 20, throttle down to displacement speeds, and found no criticals in the speed range. There was no low-speed reluctance. A plain, simple, honest boat. The Camano 28 is designed to take the punishment of the occasional log.
Topsides are three units.
In the area of the bow thruster there is an additional double layer of glass reinforcement. The engine is bedded deep into the torpedo-shaped keel, which puts the weight low, lowers the cabin floor and ensures ample headroom. It is a solid system with excellent protection for the shaft. You enter through the cockpit gate across a large comfortable swimgrid. The tall stanchions on this boat are more solid than anything I have seen in a while, a workboat touch common to Warman s boats.
