The 28' is a great entry into offshore boating...does anybody know how many twin engine 28's Pat made?

UH....NO!!!!!:D

Spilman....Got anymore pics of your boat? I think thats the boat that we signed the deal on ours and stroked the check.:D

Spilman's 28
 

Yeah, let's try this..........

how the hell do i post pics?

I knew that was coming. Look below when you post to "Manage attachments". Click on it, click browse, find your pic file on your hard drive and click upload, then close the window and submit.

o.k. I did that...but I was trying to pull pics off a cd..maybe that's the problem. let's try this......

most of my good photos are on cd and seem to be to large to post...let me expand my laptop education(talk to wife) & see if I can reduce these damn things down

Is yours a single or twins? Looks great. Are you going to come up to the Jammin' on the James poker run? Active Thunder is the main sponsor.:D

Yeah, we're in the James run...my 28 is a twin. 350magMPI's, Stainless Marine exhaust...had to lose some weight & add a few horses...boat actually sits a bit flatter. I'm turning labbed 27" Hyrdromotives...the Bravo 1 props don't turn as well w/small blocks, don't know why...seeing low 70's @4850rpm. Seems like I could get a bit more speed but still tweakin.

Hey slboatdrinks...what was your 28 like?

Looking forward to seeing you there. :D

2001 w/500efi

2001-28
 

Nice....similar to New Moon...what was performance like with the single BB? What prop? Everybody likes the Bravo 1's I have better luck w/Hydromotive...seem to be able to spin more rpm's....same pitch....must be the small blocks.
Pat took on trade or did you sell outright?

I got 71 out of her with a 24 Bravo 1. Sold to OSO member in upstate NY.

Spilman, Thats a good lookn boat. never seen that one before I like the way it sets with the twins. Its gotta be cool with SMBs are they 377s?

No...Iwish...350magMPI's with Stainless Marine exhaust...Imention the exhaust cause the boat sits better in the h20...weight savings 100lbs per side! It also claims 25-40hp gain per engine...I see 72 @4850 w/Labbed 27" 4-blade Hydromotives. Should I try Prochargers? or Whipples? Has any one supercharged a 350mpi?

Prochargers and whipples scare the hell outa me why mess with a good thing. Talk to Rich about them

I guess Rich went the Whipple route...poor results from what I caught of that situation. Dean Nickerson has a good rep. & says the prochargers will be safe up to 5psi w/ the 350mag's. I just need more! I have a 17'-9" Switzer that ran 81 with a 200 Black max. I have recently got my sanity back & I'm rebuilding transom and restoring that boat..going with a 115 four stroke this time around. 72mph in the AT is too slow!

ya but you can run in alot snottyer water at those speeds better than just about anything else and or bigger so be happy and wave at them when you go by:evilb:

This is true. The rougher..the better. But, that being said...it would be nice to run low 80's when needed and cruise @ 55 with lower rpm's. Can't have it all...at least not yet....oh..by the way..what type problems did Rich have w/the whipples?

Spillman, My Tantrum runs 53-55 mph cruise at 3500 and tops out at 70 with a 502 MAG MPI with gil exhaust and a K&N air filter. I tweaked a 26p Bravo One prop til it gave me what I wanted. I'd love to build a 509 or a 540 for it but I'm into it for the reliability. Maybe someday I'll find a 502 that needs some freshening up and build me a nice 500-525 horse motor. As for Richs whipples....I think it was the Coronas:D :evilb: :drink: :D

28 AT twin sb
 

R Addiction, yeah that sounds right....48 @3200rpm, 55 @ 3600, 63 @ 4200, 72 @ wot 4800...but this boat w/ 650+hp should hit 77-78 no? I guess the extra 1000lbs (2nd SBw/B1) takes away about 6mph. If I procharge w/3.5-5psi It should yield a 10-15mph gain...that would be just right. Still need more info on the whipple problems...was it an installation problem...I've heard it's gotta be done JUST RIGHT. Fuel pressure is crucial...also maybe timing & ignition...just a guess.

Sorry I didn't see these post earlier but the whipples arn't the problem on mine.Call me and we'll talk.540-400-5536

AAAHHH the truth comes out:D With all the banter about your whipps I took it that you were haveing problems with'em. I guess I should read between the lines:sorry:

I knew it!!! I told you it was all the Coronas.....:D :drink: :evilb:

Now were getting to the bottom of things :evilb: :drink:

Coronas!! I thought it was Vodka and Red Bull:evilb:

A lethal mixture....Rich, you didn't inhale did you?:eek: :D

No, but his motor did. :eek:

:p :p

LMAO!!:D

Hey, Everybody quit beating up on Rich. Let me do it tomorrow.:D

Hey its getting late don't you need to get your rest at your age.:evilb:

so did you atleast get it clear yet?:evilb:

:p

Kenneth, Just grab his fingers and kick him in the shin....:eek: :D

RICH!!!!!! Hurry up !!!! and get on the road and get here.... bought a case of RED BULL and BIG bottle of vodka for the weekend, might have to start with out you.

James, He's on his way.....:D
