2008 Protector 28 Center Console

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 28 is laid out for real-world use. The deep, secure walkaround and high, hypalon tube tops make moving forward in a chop feel confident, not precarious. The leaning post and helm seating give excellent sightlines, and there’s just enough protection from the elements without losing that open-boat feel. Generous storage in the console and under-seat lockers swallows gear for diving, fishing, or weekend runs to a favorite anchorage. Wide, flat tube tops serve as natural perches and fendering when coming alongside docks or larger yachts. This hull loves to run at a brisk cruise without beating up the crew, and its agile handling makes tight marinas and crowded moorings far less stressful.

A Protector 28 Center Console shines in this region’s quickly changing conditions. The deep‑V hull and collar system soften steep chop and confused wakes, while the inflatable tubes add a reassuring buffer when working around crowded docks, rocky shorelines, and busy fairways. With twin outboards, you get the range and redundancy to comfortably bridge the gaps between harbors, offshore grounds, and sheltered coves. The open layout fits everything from early‑morning fishing missions to afternoon harbor tours and run‑and‑gun trips between islands. When the afternoon breeze kicks up, this hull stays on track and dry, letting you keep your plans instead of hugging the shoreline or cutting the day short.
