About the boats
All the boats are 28' hull length. [1] From there was the option of a bow sprit, as well as a swimgrid, which added to the total length. The boats are all equipped with a Flying Bridge Helm station, and some are also equipped with a secondary helm inside the cabin. In the cabin there is a head that also doubles as a shower stall. Across from the head is a large storage closet that has one shelf, and a hanger for clothes. In front of the closet there is a long counter. On this counter was a sink. Some boats also had a propane stove, others had a helm station mounted to the forward of the counter and had no stove. Across from the counter was a small table and bench seats, they also folded down like most RVs into a bed. Ahead of that is the V berth with enough room to sleep two.
The ID plaque only applied to early issue models. When the Coast Guard started requiring embossed hull numbers the ID was embossed on the stern transom.
The fuel tank of early model Safari 28 was made of fiberglass,(Coast Guard Requirements changed this sometime in the 1970s to require a metal tank) which can degrade with modern gasoline fuel blends.
