2027 Sea Hunt BX 28: Everything You Need to Know

Sea Hunt is adding another impressive option to its lineup for 2027 with the all-new Sea Hunt BX 28. Built for anglers who want serious offshore capability without giving up the comfort and versatility needed for family boating, the BX 28 brings the popular BX series into a larger 28-foot platform.

At 28 feet 6 inches long with a 9-foot 6-inch beam, the new BX 28 provides plenty of room for fishing, cruising, and entertaining. With twin Yamaha F300 outboards delivering a total of 600 horsepower, a 157-gallon fuel capacity, multiple livewells, generous storage, and a well-equipped helm, this is a center console designed to handle a wide range of boating adventures.

A Bigger, More Capable BX

The BX series has always been built around versatility, and the new BX 28 takes that idea a step further. The larger hull gives boaters more room to spread out while providing the capacity and range needed for longer days on the water.

The BX 28 measures 28'6" in length with a 9'6" beam, giving it a substantial footprint without becoming difficult to manage. Its 19-inch draft also makes the boat practical for a variety of conditions, from offshore runs to exploring the shallower waters around Southwest Florida.

With a dry weight of approximately 5,800 pounds and a 157-gallon fuel tank, the BX 28 is built for extended trips and serious use. The boat's 19/20/56 deadrise configuration is designed to provide a balance of offshore performance, stability, and handling.

Twin Yamaha F300 Power

One of the standout features of the 2027 Sea Hunt BX 28 is its standard power package. The boat comes equipped with twin Yamaha F300 XSB2 outboards, providing a combined 600 horsepower.

Yamaha electric steering, a Yamaha tilt helm, and Saltwater Series propellers are also included. The BX 28 can be equipped with additional Yamaha technology, including Helm Master with SetPoint and Autopilot, giving owners the ability to add even more functionality to the helm.

For a 28-foot center console intended for offshore use, the twin-engine setup also provides the convenience and redundancy many serious boaters look for.

Designed With Anglers in Mind

While the BX 28 is versatile enough for family boating, fishing is clearly one of its primary purposes. Sea Hunt has incorporated dedicated livewell space, fish storage, rod storage, and tackle storage throughout the boat.

The leaning post includes a 35-gallon livewell, while two additional 16-gallon livewells are located aft. There's also a 100-quart coffin box, 150-quart bow storage compartment, and 40-quart drop-in storage.

Lockable storage compartments with rod racks help keep fishing equipment organized, while available fishing options such as kingfish rod holders and recirculating livewells allow owners to configure the boat around the way they fish.

Whether you're heading offshore for the day or spending the morning chasing inshore species, the BX 28 gives anglers plenty of room to bring the equipment they need.

A Modern, Well-Equipped Helm

Sea Hunt didn't cut corners when it came to the technology on the new BX 28. The boat comes standard with dual 12-inch Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv displays and a GT17 transducer, giving the captain a large, easy-to-read electronics setup.

A Yamaha CL5 touchscreen display provides engine information, while the helm also includes features such as electric steering, Bennett trim tabs with indicators, and a trolling motor plug and wiring harness.

Other technology and convenience features include a wireless phone charger, waterproof Bluetooth stereo, underwater LED lighting, and a windlass anchor.

The result is a helm that combines the electronics needed for serious offshore fishing with the convenience features today's boaters expect.

Comfortable Enough for the Whole Family

Fishing may be a major part of the BX 28's design, but this isn't a boat that's limited to fishing trips. Sea Hunt has given the boat plenty of features aimed at making it comfortable for everyone onboard.

The BX 28 comes standard with a fiberglass T-top with a mister system, powder coat package, bow cushions, bow backrests, and cockpit bolsters. Sea Hunt's Deluxe Diamond Stitch upholstery is standard, with additional interior color options available.

That combination makes the BX 28 easy to use as a family boat. You can spend the morning fishing offshore, head back toward the islands for lunch, and still have a comfortable setup for cruising or enjoying the afternoon on the water.

Built for Southwest Florida Boating

The versatility of the 2027 Sea Hunt BX 28 makes it particularly well suited to Southwest Florida. Local boaters often want one boat that can handle very different types of days on the water.

A typical weekend could mean running offshore to fish, cruising to an island, exploring the backwaters, or taking the family out for a day on the Gulf. The BX 28's combination of a 19-inch draft, substantial fuel capacity, offshore-focused hull design, and large center console layout gives owners the flexibility to do all of those things.

Sea Hunt's True Carolina Bow Flare and hull design are also intended to provide a combination of ride, handling, and stability that has become a defining part of the brand.

What Makes the 2027 Sea Hunt BX 28 Different?

The new BX 28 occupies an interesting spot in the Sea Hunt lineup. It offers the fishing-focused layout of the BX series while providing the additional space and capability that comes with moving into a larger 28-foot boat.

The combination of twin Yamaha F300s, 600 horsepower, a 157-gallon fuel tank, dual Garmin displays, three livewells, extensive storage, and a comfortable T-top layout gives the BX 28 plenty of capability for serious offshore use.

At the same time, the comfortable seating, family-friendly layout, and available options make it just as practical for recreational boating.
