Hello everyone, I am looking at a 1985 28 Cigarette copy that has 2 200 mercs. the guys looking for $8500 for the package. it seems real solid but the tripple bolster in the front and rear seat need work.

i was wondering who was making these molds and how fast one can run with the outboards. from what i can tell, it looks identical to pics ive seen of a 1980 28 ss

any info would be great!

It could be any bodies guess. My guess is 55-60 mph if its not too heavy. it would have to be really light with a great set up to go anywhere near 70. 2 cents for a wild guess. Do you have any pics? Does it have cabin? What size props are on it?
Jim

it has a cabin with just a mat in there. its running 26p chopper syle props. i dont have any pics.. sorry.

the engines aremounted close together on brackets approx
24" back and pretty high

For a reference, 6000 rpms at 15% slip would be 66- 67 mph. That would be pretty good for that power on that size boat.
Jim

thanks

Ray,

That sounds like Dave's boat - Sweet Emotion. Its a 28' LeBear that was built on LI. Not too sure how many were built, but they were pretty light. I had a real 28SS with 300hp/bravo dirive combination which ran around 67. Dave was much faster than me.

Are you the same Ray Pampena from 3SI ?

Just curious.

yes its daves old boat. it runs that fast huh? man its tempting. what do you think of it overall?

yes im Ray from 3si haha you on there?

Yep. See your Hydro thread there.
