Schue, nice to see this project coming along. When I visted the factory after test driving my 36 in April, I saw the wood workers finishing up the molds on this boat...just prior I got a chance to see the red 36 speedster Bob had ( which I fell in love with- the detailng was insane and the TCM motors made me decide what my next motors would be...) - so I really had an appreciation of what the 28 was going to shape up to be.
I'm looking forward to seeing this fnished product....has the power been decided for this one? oh and by the way, I am looking for an easy way to do Desert Storm again next year -and would be happy to demo a 36, or 28 speedster at DS 09 :D |

It's a NEW mold off the 27/28 Daytona bottom. They did some minor "tweaking" to achieve the desired look and performance targets...:ernaehrung004:
|
When you say the 27/28 bottom, do you mean the 1988-91 27 foot bottom that became the 28. Or are you saying the present 27 and 28 have the same bottom. I thought the present day 27 had the 26 bottom. Confusing. Please let me know I have an original 1988 27 Daytona.
