Cigarette 28 SS clones
 

Hi,
I've started to look at the 28 SS as my next boat. There are not many where I live, but one of them seems really nice. The funny thing about it is that it seems to be a "clone" - a splash from a genuine original 28 SS. It doesn't even have a HIN starting with "CRT", but it starts with "NYZP..." and so on. Does anyone know what company might have made this "copy"? (The HIN ends with 86, so I guess that is the production year...?)

Any information regarding these 28 SS clones would be greatly appreciated!

You sure about the P, all the HIN's I saw were 3 letters

Interesting info!.Thanks! I'm sure about the P. I am not sure about whether the 1 is actually 1 or I. I also don't know about any of the Os; are they letters or numbers?

"HOMEMADE BOATS" is that a company or is it a label for any boat made by a private person instead of a company?

this is typical HIN....google will give you tons of info

https://drive.ky.gov/motor-vehicle-l...Pages/HIN.aspx

Yes, but none of these decoders will accept the HIN...

Where did you find this info? (What site?)

Thank you!

Does anyone know what company might have built a Cigarette 28 clone? I recall someone talking about a company called "Raven boats" a few years back, and another one called Lebear or something like that... Anyone who knows anything about these companies?

I'm not sure what your location is, or how complete you want a boat, but I know where a project 28SS is located and the price is reasonable.

Theres a nice looking 28SS on boatrader right now, located in Texas. Not sure your location or budget.

The OSO "Bicycle" could be purchased right now. She currently resides in Florida.

i have a tony lebear 28ss they were built on long island and the titles are listed as homemade, it was a well laid up boat

Tony Libaire built his 28ss clones in Bay Shore NY @ Brewsters Shipyard in the mid to late eighties.They were finished off with the OEM low profile windshields and Cigarette factory interiors from Bilt-Rite in Miami. I owned one with twin Merc 2.4s that had a outboard well glassed in , a few were built with gill brackets with either twin 200 mercs or single V8 evinrudes.Tony had a 2 tone blue i/o with a single merc 420 .Dwayne Panzner's "AIR TIME" was finished with a beautiful paint job and a built big block with speedmaster.James "Glimpy" Fallon also had a single big block boat that ran nice. They were beautiful boats, I certainly miss mine

i have the white with blue interior twin supercharged small block alpha boat

Would love to see some other LaBear build cigarettes.
