fiberglass work is not for the faint of heart thats all i have to say about it.
Nevermind the obvious that the best of the best are struggling
I will say that there is a shortage of knowledgeable marine diesel shops and people that can take on real jobs like pulling trannys doing headgaskets etc etc rigging hydraulics correctly. in my area at least

A finished hull with no power is a better investment for a novice than trying to build a new boat from nothing.

I think they took that second gunnel out too .I always liked the profile of the 28 Cigarette but when i saw one in person and saw that second gunnel on it I was like what a ugly addition to put on such a good looking hull . totally turned me off the 28.
Always wondered why they would do that until Brownie explained why.
The new deck they built was ugly as hell to because they added so much height to it in the stern so that they could have the height in the engine compartment .

I've spent many hours aboard the 28 Cigarette...tough as nails build, gives a great ride when the water gets rough. The only flaw that comes to mind is they sit low in the water when not underway, especially bad when another powerboat buzzes by and sends a wake over the low stern. I seem to remember a minty original one for sale here on OSO a few years back.
