278 Performance: Run With the Big Boys
While the 278 Performance is more compact than its brethren, it still steals the
show. Armed with Baja’s True-V hull, the 278 Performance is both an agile
runner and fun weekender. Unique features like sporty rear vents, a new
windscreen option and aggressive flat deck and hatches make sure you stand
out in a crowd. Plus, a larger cabin with additional storage space means you
can extend day trips overnight or bring more full-throttle friends onboard.
Forward-facing seating and a generous V-berth let you take a break from the
action. Be warned: your friends will get jealous.
