Boat looks nice. Big blocks in a 28 make it a little azz end heavy

Is it in the classifieds here?

Heavy rear end
 

Always have put Small blocks in my 28 Magnum Maltese's...can't find a Magnum 27 sport now,so we decided to look at some Cigarettes. Bud

Consider a 28 Apache. Much bigger bilge.....can handle a pair of 850's without modifying the hatch. I can sit down on the floor of the bilge with the motors in. Mines for sale on OSO, has 40 hours on 2009 502's.

28 Apache
 

Mel Riggs had a 28 or 30 ft unrigged..it was a beauty. Think your Apache will be to much,budget is some were in low 30's ready to go.Told him that is a tough order to fill. Bud

Mel Riggs 28 apache has been rigged and sold.

The boat is turn key ready to go right now for low 30's.

Note to self: Remember to go to Apache section and hijack a classified thread to market my Cig when I'm ready to sell it.

Thats my Apache, We finished everything on it about 2 yrs ago now. I have been enjoying this bad boy on Lake Lanier in Ga and Lake Winnebago in Wi. Mel is long time family friend and all around great guy. Call if you have any questions. 920 872 2728. He has a couple really cool boats just laying around up there.

It will depend on when it is offered??? between $15-$30,000. Bud

$20k.

It is worth 30k + but with this market I have watch these 28's sit for a long time. I think high bid will be 15k.... But It is worth much more.....

My wild a$$ guess - 13,200.00

Mecum Auction
 

Yes we are back,however need to go back and work on 29ft 9 inch Magnum one of 5 built ony one left.Also will most likley bring other Magnum back.Should have 78 Cig info this week. Bud

bud - no offense to you, but if i bought that boat and mecum disclosed my information, i'd be pissed...

Mecum 78 Cig
 

One of my best friends was planning to phone bid it,however due a death in his family he was unable.The person who was going to look over the boat also had a death in the family...2 for 2,not looking good so far.Because we did not have that info it was decided to pass on the boat.

Mecum under no circumstance will give out a buyers name,they will call the buyer and forward the request and if the buyer wants to speak to me they would need to call back... no call back as of yet...Bud
