That's great!, way to keep plug'n along. Sounds like your about one day behind me. I look forward to seeing some pics.

If you want, give me an email so I can send you some pics, as I can't post pictures here.

Hey guys, can anyone tell me the length of the hatch actuator for the 28's and the best place to buy one??

We launched the boat sunday. It ran GREAT!!! Had an idle problem on one engine, but everything else was good. Sorry no pics, figured I'd wait till the holiday and get some good video.:drink:

jma - sorry forgot to check the length. Will do next time. When we put the hatch ram on it was around 5ft long extended all the way out, give or take. Wouldn't hurt to be a little longer.

Post some pics when you can, it's a great thread!

Wow, I remember that boat back in PA-NJ when I lived up here in PA full time. I thought that thing ran around 80 or so before. Maybe im wrong.
I had seen that boat a few times out when I had my old baja before I bought my 41 apache.
Thing was VERY VERY clean when I saw it up here, it was really well taken care of and just always spotless.
Some younger guy and his GF-Wife were on it all the time, just about every time I took out my baja I saw this thing lurking on the river looking for some trouble to get in.
I also remember it sounded REALLY healthy, Like had some pretty sick and twisted camshafts in it and was VERY snappy at an idle at Neshaminy Marina in PA which is what made me think long and hard when I welded up my own custom dry exhaust system for my baja cause I wanted my boat to sound as good or better than that boat.
Best of luck to you with it, Looks like a great ride and im sure you will be happy with it like I am with my 41.
These guys really did make awesome boats that would last a lifetime.
Have any vids of the engines on the Dyno?
