The Buddy Davis 28 Center Console stands as an emblem of the Davis heritage, a lineage richly steeped in crafting vessels that blend utility with an aesthetic appeal. Built for the avid sea voyager and the casual weekend angler, this boat brings the legacy of Buddy Davis to life with a design that encapsulates decades of maritime engineering and craftsmanship.
Advanced Construction Techniques
This boat harnesses the power of advanced fiberglass composite components in its construction, underscoring durability and longevity. The use of infused closed cell foam coring in hulls, decks, and cabin tops is a testament to its resilience and stability on water. This construction is not just about strength but contributes significantly to the overall weight management and fuel efficiency, which are crucial when planning extended trips on the waters.
Center Console Design: Functionality Meets Aesthetics
The center console of the Buddy Davis 28 is a masterpiece of ergonomic design. It includes a custom aluminum steering wheel equipped with a knob, providing efficient navigation and control even in choppy waters. Entry to the head is through a wide bi-fold door, ensuring privacy and ease of access. The inner console is lined with gel coat, adding an extra layer of protection against the elements, while the high-speed compass ensures accurate and reliable navigation.
Mechanical and Electrical Systems
The Buddy Davis 28 is outfitted with robust mechanical and electrical systems to enhance performance and safety. Featuring dual fuel/water separators, the boat ensures that the fuel system remains uncontaminated. With a 130-gallon aft aluminum tank and an additional 70-gallon forward tank, this vessel is well-equipped for long journeys without frequent fuel stops. It includes bilge pumps capable of 2000 GPH with automatic switches for effective water drainage and a high-water alarm to alert of any potential issues.
Fishing Features
For enthusiasts, the Buddy Davis 28 offers an array of features designed to make every fishing excursion productive. The wrap-around coaming is conducive to a comfortable fishing stance, and the deck is equipped with strategically placed rod holders and ample tackle storage. There’s also a livewell and a substantial fishbox, allowing for a well-prepared fishing trip from start to finish. These features ensure that anglers have all the tools they need within arm’s reach, allowing them to focus on the joy of fishing.
Deck and Hardware Details
The hardware on the Buddy Davis 28 exudes quality with all deck fittings made from stainless steel, promising longevity and resistance against rust and wear. The custom vinyl rub rail is complemented with 3/4-inch stainless steel molding, enhancing both functionality and appearance. Moreover, the marine-grade electrical wiring and weather-resistant switching panels with backlit breakers are tailored for reliability and ease of use, especially during night navigation.
Electrical Systems
Ensuring continuous power supply, the Buddy Davis 28 is equipped with a comprehensive electrical system with a lockable battery switching feature. It includes one high-amp house battery and two high-amp engine cranking batteries, and these are bonded into the electrical system for optimal efficiency. The courtesy lights in the cockpit along with the accessory outlet in the console provide ease for anglers or family and friends who may accompany you.
