Sounds like a great option. My 28s at Skater now having a small leak fixed on each tank. Didn't know about the tank it aluminum option. I put bladders in my 46 and they have worked great. By the way I raced against the mobile one boat in 1994 stock class. Lee Aerospace S77. Lot of fun and great memories :)

Yes Jim. I think this is the way to go in the long run. I love the history of this boat. Makes me feel more and more that it needs this restoration. I met you down at LOTO shootout 2012 Jim. I was down there with Brad Zastrow. Hope to see ya this year. ;-) And again, beautiful 28 you have......

Thank you and congrats on getting a cool 28!!! Look forward to seeing it when it's done! :) if you see me somewhere come up and say hello and I'll take you for a ride in mine. Just a little 28 fix until yours is done.

Yo Larry!!!. What's up wit the 28?

All the glasswork is done finally. Bottom and transom has new gelcoat. It's in paint right now :-)

What are you going to be putting on it for power?

3.4 L Etec's with 1.62 Sportmaster Conversions. There's no replacement for displacement..... :-)

"Hurry" We all wanta know. .................. This could be interesting!

Oh my. This is gonna be good.

Well it took over two years, but the new "blank slate" mobile one skater is done with its glass and gelcoat work....Sitting on a new aluminum trailer. I will say it was worth the wait, cause its beautiful. Hopefully the rigging won't take another two. Lol
