Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
I have a buddy that want to get into a larger single engine v. I reccommended the 25 convincor or the 28 maxxum. In doing a search i find lots about the convincor but not o much on the maxxum.
what is the story behind it? Thanks! Byron |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
WW,
Thanks but he is looking for older because of his price range. It seems the Maxxum was only built in 90 and 91. Ready for cumberland?!! I am!! |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
Byron go to
checkmate-boats.com then go to the showroom section and the 1990 brochure is on there and it will tell you about the maxxum I have only seen a very few of them hard to come by how is that donzi running? Im the one that was at brookville in the checkmate |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
mboger,
Thanks! I remember you well! Your boat ran really good!! I will check out the brochure. The Donzi is getting XS hyd steering this year. I think there is an informal test and tune at brookville may 7th. you should bring her out. Thanks! Byron |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
byron keep me posted on the may 7 thing and I should have the boat back together
|
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
I'll let you know.
He has found a 28 Enforcer he is looking at now also. Know anything about them? |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?

1991 w/502(390hp)
I guess I am unclear what it is. I looked at the brochures. The closest I could come was 1990 and 1993. The guy selling it is calling it a Maxxum. The 1990 Maxxum has a square transom. The boat looks just like the 1993 Enforcer280 in this brochure pic.... |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
Kind of confusing and has it been repowered They are nice boats either way
Putting boat back together to get ready for that brookville thing may 7 Hopefully see you there and see if your friend has a boat I have a cousing that just bought a 216 convincor for you to give a try he out runs me |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
Yes, it is a bit confusing. But it is like the one pictured above with the molded on swim platform. The motor had been rebuilt like 70 or so hours ago. Thats not too much of a concern though b/c we will repower her anyways!
What all did you do to yours this winter? Sounds like your cousin and I will have a good run! What year is his boat? Power? |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
Cousin has a 96 with same power a I do but running headers and a labbed 28 prop
Im just putting headers on mine and having a couple things powder coated in the engine compartment and a lot of scrubbing |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
Well he just called and he is on his way home with the 28! Looks likewe might have to schedule the checkmate gathering in sundusky!!
Headers?!! Cool! What kind? |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
Ad it to the schedule for sandusky I have a form for the entry I can fax to you if needed
Im putting on some lightnings that are fusion coated in purple should look good |
Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
When he gets back we will check our schedules. That would be fun!
I had a set of lightings on my American offshore. I liked them a lot! They picked up about 200 rpm over the Gils I had on it previously! |

Re: Whats the story the 28' Maxxum?
Well, he got it home at about 2:30am last night. It needs a good detail but other than that it is a nice turn key boat! I will post some pics when I get a chance.
Oh, and it IS a 1991 Maxxum. At least that is what it says on the side! |

He added some SSCOMPETITION gauges with red bezels. He also has a red steering wheel for when he installs full hydraulic XS steering.
