Yeah...the CD28 is only 8500 lbs...
I think the Westerbeke 100 option would have been about perfect but they seem pretty rare (with only 220 total built), but it seems more were built with the 200 hp Volvo..I would have bought the boat either way as it punches most of my buttons...:-)

Mines been re-powered with a newer Volvo "P" model. I can't complain!
