Is this a Cigarette 28SS? New owner.
#13
The tell tale lip on the bond line of a 28 does not exist on this boat. Add in the fact that it doesn't have the spine on the bow either and it's done deal....not a Cig.
That helm doesn't resemble the helm of any 28 I've seen either.

I have never been able to figure out why people do it. I've never seen a Cig with a Baja, Formula, Fountain, Sonic, or any other logo on it. Why put a Cig logo on one of them?

Looks like it needs more than an interior and hope this is not what you think is all it needs.
Don't put any more $$$$ into it until you really go thru it and get a professional opinion on it if you plan to do something with it.
Assuming :
1) You are not playing a newbie joke on us
2) You are not a boat restorer

Hull ID is shaved off and a metal plate with stamped numbers are over it as mentioned above. The stamp numbers do not come up with anything. According to online you have to have 12 digits on a boat hull. These are the numbers stamped: Cenh14482

Um, I bought this boat a week ago. I'm going to apply for a title, but need to know what it is before doing so. Why would this be a joke? Secondly, I'm not new to the boat world. However, this is the first boat that has me stunned. I know it needs more than interior work, I'm not a dumbass. Considering I only paid $1200 for the boat and trailer, the trailer alone is worth that. Thanks for everyone clarifying it's not a Cig. I guess I'll keep searching other makes.

You didn't pay a lot but didn't the seller give you some idea?
I'm a bit new here but I reckon it looks like a Magnum. Whatever it is, pretty classic lines, hope the project works out for you, good luck.

Hate to be a Debbie-downer, BUT.......The money you are going to spend to get this boat in order is going to WAY exceed its value when completed. Youd be better off buying a name brand boat for 20K and at least getting some return on your investment. With the boat having no legit numbers and no legit maker(yet), its going to be a hard sell. I know that boats are NOT investments, but unless your building it for "yourself" and you don't care about money??..... Also, it has Dodge engines in it??
