Here's an interesting history thread on some 2800SX's I've found:

burkes is.....
 

the one I almost, and should have bought many yrs ago.

Gary, my 28 arrived at 5:00 this morning! I'm off on friday and sunday....the fun begins!!

Awesome stuff!
 

Be waiting on many pix's.

Pics are posted. I started a new thread on my boat. Chevy, you get your gearcase back yet??

almost! gettin it back this week!

got a few props to try out. just hid 84 feet of red LED rope light in the cabin and cuddy! lights up the boat real nice.

put two cup holders in the dash

my red anchor shade came in also.

put a removable floor in the cuddy and built removable rear sun deck over the splash well. having the upholstery done in a couple weks. ima do the entire thing in light grey two tone top stitch.

im ready to hit the water!

My 225 pms' with Brucato ACUs' have the rev limiters removedspinning 15x30 Spinellis. The motors have a 6850 rpm limit from Mercury if I'm not mistaken. I've turned them to 6500 until I raised the motors last weekend when the clutch dog gave out at 9 am sat morning. Party over until hopefully this weekend. I ran 26 big ear choppers on my T-Bred with 260s' to 7400 rpm.

Chevy, what's in your cabin?? Any V-birth or seats?? I've got my cabin gutted so I can install new headliner, carpet, wall carpet, etc...I'm not going to re-install my overhead cabinets..trying to lighten the boat up a little and get rid of stuff I'll never use.

my cabin is EMPTY! lol

noting but stringers and bulkheads. its fiberglased and coated very nicely tho. i built a false floor with storage under it for the cushions. it runs all the way up to where the keel rises up above the stringers. it mad ea nice lil chill out spot and withthe 19x19 bomar hatch it should get at leaset a lil ventilation.



Bullet:

how high are your engines in relation to the bottom of the boat. Brett at blades suggested raising the motors up some on my boat to reduce bow leverage. my engines are on the lowest setting on the bracket putting the prop shafts dead even withthe bottom of theboat withthe tips of the sportmasters 29 inches from the transom. also...my props are turning in...he also suggested that i turn them out to get less bow lift and more transom lift....

double post...
