If your not a grease monkey probably not a good idea to buy an old raceboat. JMHO
If you want to be a grease monkey, this would be a good boat to get broken into with. After working in that tiny bilge anything else will be a cake walk. |

Miss Cigarette has a new caretaker. I will give her the TLC that she deserves. Thanks for all the great information and advise, especially to NORTHERNOFFSHORE who gave me the little extra encourgement that i needed to pull the trigger. Lake St. Clair will be her new home for now.

Yup........Engine access is tough. You need 2" diameter by 4' long arms to work in a 28's engine compartment :D.

Thanks again for all of the input. The survey went well, boat is dry and solid throughout and all rigging looks good as well. I was unable to sea trail yesterday as all of the docks have been pulled and it was too cold and windy. the guy I bought it from said that it ran on pump fuel so i am not to worried about the motors being too radical for me. Even if i have to put different cams in it to make it more reliable shouldn't be a problem escpecially if the motors don't have to be pulled, I did see the cam removal holes in the bulkhead but couldn't figure out what they were for, thanks again to northernoffshore for that info. I sure do like the grab rails and the fairing you made for it. I highly recommend Dennis Biel Marine Surveyors of Harrison Twp, very knowledgeable about performance boats<a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/c68e5"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/c68e5.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/4f0a2"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/4f0a2.jpg"></a<a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/95f0f"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/95f0f.jpg"></a<a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/807bc"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/807bc.jpg"></a<a href="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/d2f64"><img src="http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/d2f64.jpg"></a>
