2026 Chris Craft Launch 28 Gt Sterndrive
ACTIVE-LUXURY
The Launch 28 GT is watersports-friendly, fast, and stunning from every angle. This versatile and luxurious bowrider offers you sterndrive and outboard power choices, as well as three top options: a bimini, GT power-folding, or the custom-painted GT hardtop. Choose the Wake Surf Edition of select sterndrive-powered boats for a premium watersports experience.
Features May Include:
CHRIS-CRAFT STYLE
- With the Heritage Edition, you’ll enjoy a full teak floor, teak covering boards, and teak accents throughout, enhancing your experience and the boat’s iconic beauty. A plush captain’s chair puts you comfortably in charge at the rich wood and stainless steel accented steering wheel.
FLEXIBLE EASE
- Position the rear sunpad to create a comfortable aft bench or stern-facing lounger. With the outboard engines, you’ll also enjoy storage areas beneath the sunpad. Plus, a transom walk-through provides easy access between the swim platform and cockpit
RECLINED COMFORT
- In the bow, plush forward-facing loungers feature fold-up armrests, a relaxed reclining position, and an integrated headrest. Stow fenders and other large items behind the backrests and beneath the seat cushions, as well as in the finished, in-floor storage lockers between these seats.
WELL-EQUIPPED
- Enjoy fully seated headroom inside the portside head compartment, which features a custom solid-surface countertop with cold-water sink, LED overhead lighting, and a lockable entry door.
MAKING WAVES
- Watersports enthusiasts can opt for the Wake Surf Edition , which is powered by a Volvo Penta Forward Drive V8 5.3L engine with 350 hp. Combined with a ballast system and surf tabs, you’ll be able to create the perfect wave for wake surfing behind the boat.
