Look at how much this bad-boys cost with the all dependable 280 TRS setup - 63-65 MPH all day long!

They are so cool. I repowered one for someone I worked for back in '83. This '77 had sunk a few times and was purchased while it sat underwater. It was repowered with 300 Tempest went 60 something and had was quiet.

It had the teak dash, teak interior and the first year with a black windshield.

Im liking this thread. When I finish school it will be time for a new boat and the 28 is one that I have been looking at. There are several for sale at decent prices... I love the old school look with afairing and the lifeline down the middle.

2 questions, in the piks i doesn't look like the cockpit is that deep?? Do you feel like your goining to get tossed outta it? And what and how do you think one would run if you tossed the TRS and put in bravos with a somewhat raised X and some 400~450 hp 383's?

Not a lot of free board in a 28 Cig.
They also have a tendency to spire waves when it gets rough.

You are wrong. Mark's old 28 was called SUGAR. Picture in begging of this tread. Your boat came from Marina City and was taken care off by Mark Berman ( BAM ).

I'l take you for a ride this summer. I'm 5'11" and if stand straight up in the driver bolster the gunnel is a tad above waist height.

450s and Bravos will get you right at 80, gove or take a few. 500 and TRS will do the same speed. 500 and Bravos...hang on to your ass.

I drove Dreamers once and the gunnel hit me just above the knee. :D
Then I decided that I would either have to make it a sit down or look at a brave.

His had bravos.

Using an inflation calculator the price for that boat in today's money would be 100k.
Its all relative

By comparison the new 28 OL has been hinted around $150k with hinted speeds of 100~110. According to Tony's speed reference, 500 hp sbc's and bravos would have the thing in the low 90's?

You go ahead. You are the dare devil.
Besides, I live on Lake Erie. 3-5s is considered good boating. :driving:

Sorry boys, Sugar was OUR boat - first owned and named by a man named Dr. Wayne Lee and then my father purchased it from the doc - to the best of my knowledge, Magnum Mark's Magnum was named Magnum Mark and it was OBVIOUSLY a Magnum?

Does anyone know what happened to the one Bobbie Gar raced? I am trying to remember the name, it'll come to me after a few beers I think. AIR, he spun it in San Fran and ripped the transom off..??

$27,000 was a very good price for that Cigarette, but the average income in 1976 was only $16.000 and the average price of a house was $43,000.

I wish we still had the old 'beer b!tch' sometimes. The Cafe is fun, but it just plows through (most) everything on our little lake - but with the old 28', you had to know how to "drive" it.:driving:

If anyones hunting a 28', my brother has a very orgional 1980 28 with 383's and TRS for sale.
