Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
AB Inflatables 28 VST 2013 vs AB-Inflatables Lammina 7.5 UL 2014 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The AB Inflatables 28 VST 2013 vs AB-Inflatables Lammina 7.5 UL 2014 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 400 hp, the AB Inflatables 28 VST 2013 has a 396-hp advantage over the AB-Inflatables Lammina 7.5 UL 2014's 4-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 2013 is rated for 25 passengers, while the AB-Inflatables Lammina 7.5 UL 2014 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the AB Inflatables 28 VST 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the AB Inflatables 28 VST 2013 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 7.5 UL 2014 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
