From the dealer's page

At 28 feet in length, the MasterCraft MariStar 280 VLD combines the high-performance, quality and style MariStar enthusiasts have come to expect, with 5 extra feet of length, an innovative hull design, and loads of amenities. What is unexpected about the MariStar 280 is its hull shape. At first glance one might think the 280 was an offshore tunnel boat, but in actuality, the boat?s bow tapers from two points to a single V-bottom design. This unique bow design allows the MariStar 280 VLD increased passenger capacity, makes it accessible from the front, and enables it to slice effortlessly through oncoming waves. The 280?s hull also incorporates hard negative chines and a vented dual-step stern to give it lift and a feather soft ride. The torque and rapid acceleration of a standard MasterCraft exclusive 5.7L, 350 hp, MCX powerplant provides high performance. The 280?s Vector Drive propulsion system tucks the propeller safely and efficiently under the hull. As a result, the MariStar 280 VLD is quick and nimble as well as powerful enough to pull a team of show skiers. The 280 has an 88-gallon fuel tank, an enclosed head, a Convenience Center, abundant seating, cavernous storage space and a cooler, all dedicated to making long rides and action-packed days seem more like all-inclusive cruises.
