New 28 skater project
 

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 ,
Keep ya updated as Chris progresses ,

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.

Seems like you would have put some good motors on that thing...:party-smiley-048:



CONGRATS MR TOM!

Hey Ron
Ya I just spoke to John said he was happy but could use a bit more prop for the xs motors

2005 300x doesn't get much better does it lol !! Ok maybe 400 Ros would be nice
Thanks flight

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.

Im looking forward to seeing your 28 in person at loto this year Tom. Itll be cool to see it run in the shootout too :drink:

Yes I made them just abit deeper= higher engines = more water pressure!
they worked flawlesly

pics of when I got the boat home

all stripped ready for the drive to MI

Made it up to boat customs

How did you like removing that rub rail? Can you freaking believe that crap? I swear Pete has some elves at the factory that come in at night and thru bolt that Sh!t. Lol!

Looks very nice Tom. Always Good to see another 28 on the forum. Broke my heart when Ron sold his 28, but hey, at least we have another bad azz 308 on the board.

Hope to see a lot of fresh 28's come spring.

Cant wait to hear your opinions on a 28 versus a 24 in handling and speeds, and overall usability. I bet you really like the 28.

"Nice" [ATTACH=CONFIG]549824[/ATTACH]

It amazes me that just when you think you have seen most 28's around another one pops up out of no where. Nice find Tom.
Chris it hurt me too selling my boat. That boat was very special to me and it will never be replaced in my heart as well.

Tom -

Is this the boat you sent me pictures of this past fall?

MDS

Yes the threw bolts suck ,my wife helped me pull it off she is a trooper and a skater junky!!! But she won't admit it lol ,I just hope it's as fun to drive as the 24

Would be great to start with an all white boat. Fun project for sure !!!!!!!!!!

MDS

The nice thing is not a lot of prep work involved in an all white boat going in for paint!

Great find.
