Whittley SL28HT


Distant horizons just got so much closer... In response to customer demands for an offshore-focused battle wagon capable of running to the canyons in greater comfort with a bigger payload, Whittley has come up with the goods. We consulted the experts – the customers who ply the ocean for big game – and engaged fishing and boating luminaries and listened to the boating media, asking one question: “What do you want?” Distilling the responses and collating the data, Whittley built their boat.

The SL 28 HT is the largest Australian-made legally trailerable sportfishing boat to hit the waves, and at just shy of 9m, it’s no stripped out fishing shell. This is every ounce a Whittley. It doesn’t sacrifice comfort for fishing prowess and will also double as a family cruiser when the need arises.

The SL 28 HT was conceived first and foremost to tackle blue water and big fish, to compete and to win. It features a practical helm capable of housing a12-inch head unit and will handle even the worst tackle junkie’s collection. The SL 28 HT is available in single or twin outboard configurations, or you can power it with a fuel-efficient Volvo Penta diesel sterndrive. For the ultimate in performance, consider Volvo’s next-generation V-8 380 DPS. Built tough but still capable of being towed behind large SUVs, this big rig commands respect and refuses to be ignored.
