I've got a lot done. Mostly cosmetic, just haven't had time to post pics. I'll get some up tomorrow.

Here is what it looked like when I started.....

While waiting on paint to dry, I ended up stripping all of the cables and wiring. The wiring was a rat's nest so, I decided to start from scratch.

Before....

Next on the list is to...

Plan is to put a set of 383's in the engine room, but first it had to be stripped, cleaned, and re-painted.

First I stripped the engine compartment, and ended up with a pile of parts.

Ended up with this boat a month or so ago. According to the title it is a 1972 27'10" Cigarette. It was setup with staggered small blocks connected to Mercruiser "R" drives with Sportmaster lowers. ...

I would love to find the history! I know it was green and white at some point.

Sorry, I guess with that engine box it could have had twin inline 6's. Thosecould have fit between the stringers.

Not saying it is for sure a Cigarette or not, but it does resemble the open deck. It resembles a single engine open deck. Once I removed the engine box, you could see where a box would land for a...

Also found this in the boat....

Don't worry, many more pics to come! I am going to start a thread on the rebuild of this boat. I have just been cleaning out the years of leaves, and getting the engine bay clean and ready to re-rig....

They were refered to as the Mercruiser "R" drive if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure what the lowers are. They are not "R" lowers with cones in them. Is there any identifying marks that would help to...

Yes, they are Alphas. I thought the steering tube was interesting as well. Someone built that standoff, and as far as I can tell it was factory. I can't tell where the transom has been patched.

Thanks for putting the pics up. The boat is in pretty rough shape right now. I am going to be going through the entire boat. If anyone had old pics or information I would love to see what it looked...

Came across this 1972 28' Cigarette . I am looking for any information that anyone might have regarding this boat. It has a staggered engine setup. Originally it was set up with 351 Windsors. It...
