Whats questionable about the serial #?

I asked him for the serial # (just the first letters)and he said he didn't have the time to check it even though he had drive by the boat 3 times that day. That's when I gave up . No title , no # ????????

Notice how the boat is sitting at least 2-3 feet off the back of the trailer? Who knows on the trailer length? And I wonder how long it's been sitting that way. Can you say major hook?

He returned my e-mail. The trailer is from back to ball - approx. 25'.

I need a trailer for a 28' boat, I'm out.

Yes, it went to a great home, the gentleman also has a 28 Cig and a 35 Cig Race.

I have a lot of concerns about this one. Without verifying the VIN it could be a splash. The engine hatch does not look right. It states that it is a 1980 but it has pre '75 vents on the side. The mldg looks to be alum and is flat??? Also, an '80 with a Volvo drive???? What is the deal with the markings where the pedestals were---- An octagonal one on the drivers side and a round one on the passenger side? It has race car hood pins instead of the twist in latches from the Donzi/Cigarette era. Am I wrong here?

It's looks real from the pics, that hatch could be from any year and came on many of the 20's, the imp's that were splashed had a diff deck, 2 years ago there would have been a bidding war for this boat, im gonna save the info if he has it in a month or so I'll go buy it. there are some other things with the windshield recesses that were known to be cigarette.

X2, it sure looks real to me.....and looked at it for a long time before I posted it on here. I would love to have it, but I don't have the time for it right now.

I agree. It's legit. Several details of the deck and hull look exactly like my '74. Our hatches are different as I have what used to be the flat hatch, but someone along the way added a scoop. The fuel tank, the fuel sender access, the floorboard piece, the stringers, windscreen recess, mahogany stripe recess, etc. all scream "I'm for real!". As Hotboat mentioned on the forward storage hatch latches, mine are the same, hood pins.

Not sure what the huge hole behind the rear seat is for and the access hole on the port side is in a odd location.

Curious if a eggbeater or two could be hung off it without handling issues?
