28/28ss
 

What were the differences between the 28 and the 28ss?

Cig made a few 28OS - single engine open bow fishing style boats.

Most are 28SS - two front seats, rear bench with twin's

No others that I am aware of.

I have just a regular 28? Had Volvo drives and 406's way back to the 80's but not sure what it originally had from the factory. But i believe it always had twins from the factory. But is just a 28 not an ss?

I'm pretty sure the OS had twin 6cyl engines from the plant.
There have been some conversions over the yrs to singles.

28 is a open bow center console type boat. You could get with twins, 6 cyl Merc pkg or a Volvo pkg.
28 SS has a closed deck with a cabin. Volvo drives or 280 T.R.S./ 454's T.R.S.

So i have a 28ss then?

Lets see a pic

I had a friend of mine post pics on a thread that reads 1973 28 . I just purchased it and the owner told me it was a regular 28 not a ss? I am not very computer saavy so i had a friend post the pics for me.

You have a 28SS, we just call them a 28 around here..

Thanks for the info! I just figured ss had the raised hatch due to the higher x-dim? And was a race version or something.

Ss
 

Yes you have the 28 SS. Some of us have modified them to lesser or greater degrees.

Hi Barry,

I NEVER tire of seeing that shot!!! And thanks for continuing to fly the Old School CIG Banner so well!!

Cheers,

Dave

I had a 1973 28 OS, twin 350's with Alphas, split helm.

Wish I had kept it!

Thanks Dave, I really appreciate your note. I spent a lot of time and money to keep an old Cigarette in the race mix. It turned out so cool, I'm really happy with it, I don't mind all of the time, cash, and even the broken ankle!
