I have a 1980 28SS with twin 350's / TRS and it weights around 7,000 lbs. It's a sold/heavy boat but nothing rides like it in the rough!

I have a 1975 28SS with 350's and TRS drives it scaled on the trailer with 1/4 fuel at 8240 lbs. solid and heavy and loves to play in the rough stuff. Can't wait till spring

i also have a 76 28SS.....first time i drove the boat was in some bad water right before before a storm. Previously had a baja 265. Nothing alike!

According to the NADA book, the boat weighs 4800# dry.

I have a sales book from the 70's that puts it at net weight 5000lbs. (approx.) Then add everything else on and it has to weigh in at 7500lbs.

That sounds about right. I have a 28 Open that is converted to a single and tips the scales at 6,000 lbs.

My 28 had twin 350 420 hp each and topped out at around 74 MPH. Best boat I ever owned. They just don't make them like the 28 SS.

Amen...I'd be boating today if I hadn't sold mine...

BTW, AC, I see yours is for sale again...
