28 winter project
 

i picked up this boat from long island in august, it needed 1 motor at the time, here it is on the way back from li to ga

got it back to ga and ordered up a new block pistons rods ect, while waiting on that to show up i removed the striping from the hull and deck, what a pain that was.

here it is stripe free.

thanks for looking.

Wow, looks good! Great job! Good luck with it

I'm in the middle of a similar project myself, so I feel your pain and joy :drink:

Looks awesome! It's nice to see these winter projects!

great looking boat. Looks much better all white.

nice

Great looking boat. You can not beat the 28's. I kinda like the blue interior but afraid it would get a little warm in the summertime.

Enjoy the boat, they are a blast!!

just finished up the led cockpit lights

Looking good. 28's are awesome.

Love those 'ole 28's. Really nice!

looks great.....love these winter projects.

What lake are you boating on? Nice project.

im up here by lanier

I saw you going down the road pulling the Cig on Ext 17. Got a quick glimpse, looked nice. I keep the Dirty Pearl, a 36 Cig and my personal boat a 28 Maltese right down the road on 369. Hoping to have my Maltese ready to go this summer, would love to run around with another vintage Cig.

a guy came by my shop and was taliking to him about your flatdeck and the magnum, my dad has a maltese now and had 27 sport before

Come by this summer and let me take a look, I'm in between Bethel Park and Two Mile Creek Park. Always enjoy talking with other Cig fans.

Great to see another 28 SS here in GA.

I sent you a PM

That's cool your dad has a Maltese. Working hard trying to finish mine up. Making brackets for the engines right now. Custom work takes custom time they tell me. My shop is right off 369 by Shady Grove Rd. I am in the brick buildings on the left. Come on by and check the boats out sometime.

Great Looking Classic Cigarette Your work looks Great

Boat looks great man. Nice!

I don't always dig classic boats but the 28 cig has dead sexy, timeless lines! Keep up the great work!
