Come on Steve......you can't be without a Cigarette in your lineup.....that would make a nice resto....kind of like a 67 big block Vette.

Hey, Guys

I'm embarrassed to admit that is my first post on here in the 4years I have been a member.

In any case my father had a 1973 28 cig that he bought from a place in mameroneck, ny in the middle 80's it was blue and white and had the number J-13 on the front. We were in the process of restoring it before it became too much.

I'm floored that I have seen two 28 cigs with volvo E drives on them. I have one on my donzi, so I was curious.

Were there alot of them with the Volvo Speedmaster...

Brian, before Mercury came out with the 280 TRS package, the Volvo was pretty much it for these boats, Magnums too.

Do you know where that picture was taken? Is that on Route 9 in Barnegat, NJ?

I have a Bimini top for a 28 that I'm not using. Not sure where you boat, but they are nice to have in FL.

Yup that's the one :( I took that pic and also posted many others from there (behind the gas station and Rob's tint shop) for Lucky Strike while he verified that was indeed his old 28. You could tell from exhaust cutouts or something specific that Steve recognized. Boat is in baaad shape, as you probably know too. :rolleyes:
