Look at how far up on the transom those bravo gimbals are mounted. That baby should fly.........

To the OP of this thread. I would be interested in some of the original parts on that beauty if you decide to part with any of them. More specifically interior stuff.

Awsome! im building the same boat now. just stripped mine down. I am painting her tmw.

Thats a SICK boat!!! 94 is fast for a 28' Cig!

I have a 79/80 SS with twin big blocks, yes very fast, but there isn't room to do anything in the engine bay, and she sits heavy at the dock.

Will i be able to keep my stock hatch on with the higher x dim and still get the exhaust above the rub rail? My drives are about 1" below the bump out on the back of my hull? All the boats i have seen are ss's and have the raised hatch? Was not sure if it is a must?

I have 144ci blowers on mine that's why the flame arresters poke thru

Mine with big blocks and stock 425HP/454 intake manifolds with the exhaust above the rub rail, the air cleaners stick thru the hatch as does the exhaust risers.
