This 28-footer offers a main (and only) cabin incorporating\u00a0 a large dinette forward, a galley and enclosed toilet facilities.<br \/><\/br><br \/><\/br>Headroom through the main cabin is a shade under 6ft but it does not feel restricted in any way, just cosy. <br \/><\/br><br \/><\/br>The dinette forward is capable of accommodating six, and the coachroof&#8217;s stretched window makes it easy to check what is going on outside when seated &#8211; a definite plus. <br \/><\/br><br \/><\/br>The wooden table drops to form a generous double berth and stowage is pretty good in this area, with lockers and shelves let in wherever there is a void.<br \/><\/br><br \/><\/br>Above board, the Intercruiser combines classic curves and punchy, harder lines. There\u2018s the attractive spoon-shaped bow, coir rope fendering and detail is worked into the raised gunwale, so that the cleats are inset rather than set on top of the teak capping.<br \/><\/br><br \/><\/br>The cockpit seating will readily accommodate family and friends out for a jolly. The windscreen and coaming offer a good degree of protection, but if you need to batten down there is the standard, two-part canopy. <br \/><\/br><br \/><\/br>On the water, the test boat achieved slightly over 5mph at 1500rpm and a shade under 7 knots (9mph) at 3000rpm, with the bow lifting rather than burying itself in a wall of water. <br \/><\/br><br \/><\/br>If you&#8217;re after a rivercruiser, then the four-cylinder 52hp Vetus unit &#013;<br \/>\nfitted as standard is fine. The only problem is the \u2018larger&#8217; fuel tank, still tiny at 44gal and restricting the range to sub-100 miles should you want to push the speed into the teens on longer passages.<br \/><\/br><br \/><\/br><strong>Tested in June 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dayboat doyen Interboat cruises into weekender territory with this stylish 28-footer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":423,"featured_media":36793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"review_manufacturer":[253],"review_category":[45],"review_type":[],"review_award":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/36792"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/423"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36792"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/36792\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42028,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/36792\/revisions\/42028"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36792"},{"taxonomy":"review_manufacturer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_manufacturer?post=36792"},{"taxonomy":"review_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_category?post=36792"},{"taxonomy":"review_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_type?post=36792"},{"taxonomy":"review_award","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_award?post=36792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
