Re: bad ass 28ss
 

poor pics... would like to see a pic of the 6 man interior...

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

still trying to figure why they modded this open cigarette like mine to this....

nice work by looking at the small bracing to firm up the top side in the bilge but none the less why take a sit down boat and do this to it...

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

open i recently saw that. silly lay out.
the original opens are cool.
anymore pics of yours?
there is one up in CT, yellow, thats been for sale for yrs.

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

you know , that one went up for sale about 2 months after i bought mine...

i bought a used myco from cattitude , just finished up a complete brake/bearing service. just waiting till after the worlds to bring it to guardado marine for the bottom to be printed and re gel coated.

few pics...i don't think people realize how bad azz these old hulls will crush waves....

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

plan on dropping the floor at the helm bulkheads too , the floor is being replaced with coreboard /1708 glass.

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

I have been on the Chivas for a couple hours now, but I don't think this boat is/was an open; I may be wrong but I have a 28 SS that is being redone for my son and it looks more like mine than yours (Fairing, dash, cabin door, etc...)

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

By the way, what did you do for fuel tanks? I need one to replace the large one in the floor. Our boat had 3 tanks?

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

open 72, is duratec a vinylester resin product? what did you pay for a gallon? how easy does it sand out? did you do the repairs with epoxy, or vinylester? you're making great progress and it looks like your doing a first classs job. rm

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

right on!.they offered 2 models 28 open and 28 ss as in super sport. the open was first then the ss.........been there and done it.........m.m........

Did you get the T=shirt? jk:drink: :D :evilb:

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

from Jerry.......can you really see the ajac hawk?

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

that boat was a "open". the ad description pics you can see where they added to the helm/passenger bulkheads to extend them aft. you can see the seating area forward...


that was alot of money spent for them to do that work.

you get limited on space once you put blowers with those long snouts and transmissions.

plus you don't have much in the way of covering those puffers .
i am planning on doing something "raised" but to match the lines of the hull/deck.

mine has one fuel cell 110 gallons..

don saw beauty in the lines building them back in the day ....

ratman- i'll pm you my #.. all i do is 1st class work ...we can talk glass, paint all you want...

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

Sorry man must be the scotch but I don't see it.
It looks just like my boat and the extension you speak of (if I understand) only extends the dash and covers the hatch to the cabin. I don't see any seating forward.
Like I said before maybe its the scotch though... :drink:

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

scotch penalty- declined :D sober this morning. look at the seatback on the foward bulkhead.i'm not the best with color pencil on the puter..


you can see the teak strips running on the edge of the seating area at the bottom closest to the floor. this was for additional cushions. the "open" boat also came with a canvas cover to enclose this area for more sleeping space.

this was a "fishing " model and you could sleep 7 or so people in it 3 in the cabin , 4 more across the "open" area too with the canvas cover. just toss the extra cushions in the cabin and back to fishing the next morning. i even looked at 1 that had it set up for bunk bed on each side. that boat though had the snot beat out of it with alot of bottom and deck damage.

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

I think it is a 28SS as the ad states.
I don't see any of the areas that you are describing in the pics of this boat.
1) The deck is flat all the way to the point of the bow just like a 28SS (not raised like the opens).
2) The hatch in the center of the new dash is the door to enter the cabin (just like my 28SS).
3) The fairing is the same as the 28SS.
Must be a 28SS not a converted open as they would have had to completely remove the top cap and build a new one and laminate in on (you could buy a 28SS for what that would cost).

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

man lay off the chivas :drink: ... it an open look at the pic... raised deck and forward seeting

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

pics

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

I know that one is an open.
:rolleyes:
The one you started this thread about I am saying is not.

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

This what I am not in agreement with, I think the one on ebay is an SS not a converted open.
Thats all.

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

ebay is an ss... the link to the cms website is an open...... that is WAY overpriced

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

Just what I was thinking. By like 50k.

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

I agree with you.
I don't think the ebay boat was converted from an open to an SS.


And I never do Chivas before 10:00am :evilb:

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

we crossed wires somewhere P...

the ebay ad is a 28 SS ..

the one at cms is a converted open... and is way overpriced..

you could by that 38 cigarette hawk in the classifieds here for that kinda coin....

dreamer , that 33 you got , i remember seeing don's son standing on the first 1 in a magazine long time ago., it had dark blue sides... badd azz ride you got there...

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

i know this isn't a rocket , but if i were in the market to spend anywhere near that kind of coin , i would have to go with this.... just needs a little better paint ...

i would speculate that at 55 mph you wouldn't spill a drop of Chivas :drink:

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

GOOD I thought I was going to have to give up the scotch !!! :eek:

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

i don't think your liver would like that very much :D

Re: bad ass 28ss
 

The e-bay ad is an open, that's for sure.

Open72: Great move by dropping the floor.
Dreamer: You need to post some more pictures. The 28 Open is a HUGE boat. Yours must feel just gigantic. Have you run it yet?

Re: bad ass 28ss
