Re: How many 28 SS's are there?
I have not had a gps on it but was told by the previous owner a friend of mine that it does 74 on gps. it come out of the water real nice. of course this is when my merctrans transmissions are not giving me problems. The engines need to come out again becauce the transmissions were not rebuilt properly. shoehorn was the term that I used. the whole front of the engine has to come off from the heat exchanche to the crank pulley

The deck is only there to stand on and spill beer on. Besides some idiot glued a carpet to it at one point and there is glue all over it. I am in the process of making a new snap in cockpit carpet. I will take proper photos one it goes in the water again that was just out behind my shop.

Stageharbor: Shoehorn is the term I would use too! We're right down the coast from you in Kittery Point. There is also a huge Cigarette fan in another Maineiac who goes by "Biggus" here on OSO on Long Lake.
Welcome aboard!
