Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
AB Inflatables 28 VST 2012 vs AB-Inflatables Lammina 10 AL 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The AB Inflatables 28 VST 2012 vs AB-Inflatables Lammina 10 AL 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The AB Inflatables 28 VST 2012 measures 28,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 17,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the AB-Inflatables Lammina 10 AL 2013 at 10,6 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the AB Inflatables 28 VST 2012 tips the scales at 2 853 lbs — 2 722 lbs more than the AB-Inflatables Lammina 10 AL 2013 at 131 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the AB Inflatables 28 VST 2012 has a 230-hp advantage over the AB-Inflatables Lammina 10 AL 2013's 20-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The AB Inflatables 28 VST 2012 is rated for 25 passengers, while the AB-Inflatables Lammina 10 AL 2013 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the AB Inflatables 28 VST 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the AB Inflatables 28 VST 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 25 passengers and at 28,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The AB-Inflatables Lammina 10 AL 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
