Hey Guys
I can finally join the 28 club ,I recently picked up a very clean 2000 28 ,that was originally owned bye The Morgan family from big thunder marine
I am not a very big fan of solid white so I just dropped off to Chris mills at boat customs on Friday
To do his magic ,new paint ,rub rail ,deleted rub rail on transom, deleted bow rail ,I will be replacing all bezels
An doing some interior work when I get it home ,the 300x's from the old 24 will be going on her ,

Congratulations Tom! Saw your old boat at TNT in Miami last week.
Spoke to the guys. They seemed happy with the 300xs's on it. Post some pics of the boat for before and after! I am sure Chris will do a great job.
If you need anything give me a call.

Are you doing any mods to the hull regarding water ramps or hull pick ups?
Saw the ramps the on the 24. Looked pretty deep ccmpared to what Pete did on the 28 I had.
