Default New 28 express - any photos?

I just read that McKee Craft will have a 2008 Freedom 28 Express. Does anyone have any photos, layout, or specs yet?

Here is one that I found, interestingly it is dated July 08 and yet we do not see this any where on the Mckee site.

The boat in Chillout's link looks interesting. Is this the one that is coming out? Looks like a 28 with a walkaround. Does not look like a true walkaround and is not an express, but more like the idea of the Contender 31 fisharound, which really appeals to me, except on the Contender version, I don't like the fact that it is basically a one-man post- I can't tell where others are supposed to be when running- this McKee looks interesting.

Get the February edition of Boating Magazine. I just called the factory asking about the 28 Express and they said that there is a large story on it in this edition. Heading to the bookstore today to see if the Feb edition is out yet.

The Feb edition is now out. Virtually all positive things to say. They did note that because the cabin was small (purposefully) that the helm position was fairly forward resulting in a harsher ride (also the relative low length to beam ratio contributes to this).

They said that absolutely positively has the most cockpit room of any 28' cabin boat.

Here's a 2007 28' Express for sale. No power. Asking $29.9K.

Not my boat...just came across the ad. No affiliation whatsoever.

Sweet deal gfor somebody looking for an express. I suppose a couple of 250's and a trailer and you'd have a package for under $65,000. Try to buy a 28 express (new) for under $100 g's. Cant be done.
