Cutwater 28 Owners Review Fit and Finish Interior
In Part 3 of our Owners Review, we comment upon the construction and aesthetics of the interior of our Cutwater C28. We look at the materials used, how well they fit together, quality of parts, flaws (in our opinion), surface finish, and other construction and material details. We purchased our Cutwater in 2018. To our knowledge, current models (2021 as of this review) are virtually identical in functional design.
This is Part 3 of a six part detailed, in-depth series ,where we leave practically no stone unturned. If you see something we missed, let us know in the comments. The series titles and links (when available for viewing) are:

The series is not complete Matt please post the rest of the parts
1st time using mine tonight and i am super excited 😄 because now i can 😴
Thank you for that info on the various sizes of the pillows.
Matt, I can't find the Functionality video or the Systems and performance can you post links? Thanks Steve
Loved your thorough and detailed review! Very helpful and informative. Thank you!
Thank you, Ryan. We hope to return to making videos soon. Caring for my parents has made it difficult, but we are working to make it happen.
Thank you!
Can someone 6’2 stand up in the head?
I must say, after watching your first four videos on the Cutwater 28, I believe them to be the best I have seen. Your detailed analysis after 47 years of boating experience, helps me, as a would-be neophyte owner of boat like this, to think on the important aspects of boat ownership. I could not find the last three scheduled videos (functionality, systems and performance) and i hope you are able to complete them and post them here. All the best.
It's a shower curtain not a privacy curtain
Thank You for this info. I recently purchased the system, and after one use, couldn't get it to work again. Just yesterday took it back, and I was given another one. Glad I saw this video. I saw what I was doing wrong.
The new C 288 Coupe has less space aft - for sitting. Although it has a ingenious flipping seat - it does block the side seats from dropping. C28 model has much more space outdoors.
Bruhh they are 200 bucks now:(
When will you make part 4 and 5?
The question is you leave the Ozone black tubs in the water container- during cpap use? I don't. I remove the wtr containers lids for cleaning and then wash the cpap water container top while ozone is lid is in use.
Matt these are bang on reviews. Thank you sir!
I'm 6'2, 250#. I have a hard time finding a vehicle with enough room for myself comfortably, and then my occasional road trips with friends. I don't have a family, and I don't really need all wheel drive, but I do live in Minnesota, so it's handy once in a while. Is this too much vehicle for a single person? Or is it a reasonable upgrade from an Outback?
I'm single 230#s - its not too much vehicle. Its big but doesn't feel big.
it looks like nice ! I had a 300 $ china product very bad. I will buy a lifespan for quality
How was the resale value for the Ascent when you traded it in?
How has this treadmill held up so far?
The treadmill has held up very well. I strongly recommend that you follow the tread lubrication detailed in your manual. Thank you for watching our video.
What sort of differences are there between the older 242 and the modern 24C / 248 series?
Sir Thank You for explaining the button behind the scroll wheel! Great review!
Thank you for watching and for your comment.
Very informative. We just bought a 2020 Ascent with $15,000 mi. Are there any good forums to join that might help me with my ownership?
Thank you for watching the video, I am pleased it helped. I am sorry that I am not familiar enough with the forums to recommend any.
About 35-40 minutes too long.
Thank you for watching and for your comment. I did hope to pack alot into the video. I hope that the links to the various topics in the video helped. Cheers
Thank you for this. I’m struggling learning to use this currently
Thank you for your comment, I hope you are no longer struggling with your navage.
Hello- I am a nasal pillow user but recently due to allergies, I am waking up with a super dry mouth so I decided to switch to the Amara. Lats night was my first night with it. Even though I am confident I had the straps adjusted correctly, It woke me up several times during the night with a loud noise or whistling sound from the lower area of the mask. I finally pulled off in frustration. Any recommendations?
Bruce, I am sorry I did not respond sooner. I have encountered whistling in my mask when my humidifier was turned up, which subsequently created condensation in my mask. Turning down my humidifier a little resolved my issue. Hope this helps.
My son is going to let me have his 2019 ascent touring in September . So I am pulling up all u tube videos to get to know about the car, you have the best video that explain so many subjects that other videos misses, now I am more excited and can’t wait to experience this car. I am thinking of getting a new sienna AWD in a couple years but I think the ascent will be able to take that place instead. Thank you and will follow your videos.
Thank you for watching and your comments. Life events have pulled my away from making videos for a time, but when I return I will be releasing an owners video of the 2021 Subaru Ascent and the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Some significant changes in transmission performance were made to the Subaru 2021 Ascent.
This has become my favorite boat. I’ve always been a Sea Ray fan and buyer and just imagine if they could have gone this route in a cheaper version of this in a Sundancer or Express Cruiser-type boat instead of whatever they want to call what they’re making now. I always buy used and I’ll be searching for one of these in a few years, even if they’re not readily available in the the Great Lakes region.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your comments. I also was a huge SeaRay fan growing up.
Looking to buy a used one. Please let me know when one becomes available. Thanks.
I bought the Soclean back in 2017. Since I began using it, a lot of info has come forth stating that the levels of ozone emitted are UNSAFE for humans or animals. In Oct 2020, I was diagnosed with leukemia, I have shortness of breath, suffer from chronic sinus and runny nose issues and exhaustion. In addition, if you use this machine with your CPAP, your warranty will NOT be honored. I just picked up a new CPAP this week and was advised that I should not use the SoClean!
Wanda, thank you for sharing your story with me. You have given cause to investigate the use of my machine further. I wish you well.
Great video series, thanks for taking the time. Too bad for us that it appears you’ve taken a hiatus or discontinued their production. Looking at the evolution of this boat tomorrow at Sundance. (288)
Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately life events have drawn us away from video reviews temporarily, but I hope to return to them soon. I have looked at the 288 myself and have my personal opinion of the changes. I am curious what your reaction was.
@@mattseclecticreviews3614 I too am looking forward to the completion of the series. Your reviews are the best I have seen. So practical. Would also love to see your opinions on the 288.
@@philOKC 288 has an outboard engine so I would stick with the 28
Even dead bodies would suffocate and die again in that mid berth
Thanks for watching and the comment, which I found most amusing. Sadly, there are boats in the same target market with even less space. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing this info... Looking to make my 1st boat purchase and make the best decision. I'm drawn to the perceived quality & support of Cutwater, and it helps they're local to us in Washington..
Thank you for your comment. Did you purchase a Cutwater boat?
Thank you very much for this video. It is the most valuable video about the ascent I've come across. How do you damp the rattling noise from the hitch? You mentioned the issue but I wasn't sure what the solution was ... I am still on the fence about the Ascent btw. I find it hard to spend that much on a vehicle and get such limited level of comfort compared to other vehicles in the segment. Thanks 👍
Thank you for watching my video and your comment. Regarding the hitch rattle, it is a common problem with smaller trailers that have little tongue weight. The most economical solution I found was the trailer hitch silencer pad which can be purchased on Amazon. I completely understand your desire for comfort. I recently traded my 2021 Subaru Ascent for the new Grand Cherokee L, and hope to release owners videos of each soon.
Great in depth review! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Digging in to all of your Ascent videos. Too bad about the cargo light. Our fix for our current sedan is to just keep a headlamp in the driver side door storage. Thanks for all your Ascent content so appreciate it. It will be our first subaru so it feels like a big jump from a ford sedan and your videos are so informative! 👌
Thank you for watching and sharing. I hope you enjoy your new Subaru.
The absolute best information from an owner I've found out of hours and hours of youtube viewing. Thank you so much! Now I'm just wondering how well it performs off road.
Had a feeling I may have commented too soon. The last topic was exactly what I needed to feel comfortable with our upcoming purchase. So glad to know it performs well off road as well! So appreciate this video. Thanks again!!!
Thank you for review. Buying now that model 8)
Like more info on the portable pump out. Cost, capacity, brand name.
Exelent video, when ordering this mask how do we know if we are getting a single or double adjustment mask
Ask the seller
Hot water tank is 6 gallons not 3! Other than that, very nice review! EXTREMELY WELL DESIGNED BOAT, I LOVE IT!!! I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BUY IT SOME DAY, IF I COULD AFFORD IT.... -:)
This one leaks on my face.
I appreciate your detailed review. I have read many reviews on the C28 and they are mixed. I am wanting to upgrade from a 2000 Doral 270 SC, with diesel NextGen genset, with very similar long range fuel and fresh/black water tank capacities. It seems to fill a desirable nitch where there are few comfortable trailerable cruisers, particularly in the southern climates. It is disappointing to learn this model has been discontinued. I think outboards are a good trend and it would be nice for Cutwater to offer a 28' twin outboard trailerable coupe, like many of their competitors, for southern climates.
Two features I like on this boat vs the C-Dory and the Ranger is the additional clearance lights when on a trailer and also the overhanging roof over the cockpit. I have seen the C-Dory's and the Rangers this snap on awnings over part of the cockpits but when in adverse weather, water will come between the snap on tops and the cabin's aft door. I like the dock lighting also. The rear helm is great also and the fold down seats on the cockpit. Why does it have a "hot water heater?" If the water is already hot? It is actually a "water heater".
I just want to know the performance and range. i know the tank is only 100g wondering about making trips out beyond 100-150 miles. do you have numbers on this? miles per gallon at cruising speed? gallons per hour? cruising speed and top speed?
Thank you so much for such a detailed review on the Ascent.
Thank you for this review! Very much helped me in making a decision.
Hi, I have a good mask seal with this mask but is it normal to still have air coming up into my eyes?
SoClean is not a cleaner. It just circulates ozone through your machine and mask to sanitize.
Agreed Bob, it is a sanitizer. Thank you for your comment.
I would also like to rest my Legs in the Arm rest position ;-)
lol. Point taken Rene. Thank you for watching and your comment.
I have the same car/color It has a very annoying rattle in the moon roof. They replaced it and a day later it was back.
Cliff, thank you for watching and for your comment. That is not an issue I have experienced but I did search Goolge for other owners experiencing the same issue. There were a few, unfortunately no one posted if a solution was found. I had a similar experience with my 2013 Chevy Cruz with a leak. Unfortunately at the time I discovered it very few owners experienced the issue. In time more were reported and a manufacturer fix was devised and released to dealers. I hope your issue is resolved, and if it is, I hope you will share the solution in the my comment section.
