Nice! Does JJ still own it? Was super clean when I last saw the boat

@Lightspeed the all white skater with the little blue skater logo and the n.y registration #s. Is it still in New york?? My brother used owned this boat from like 2004-08. I remember it used to have 2.5 race mercs on it with the 300hp ecus. It was once a race boat from over seas. He brought it back and did a clean up on it, all new rigging , carbon fiber dash, digital speedo, gaugaes, interior ect. with tnt marine down in maimi.

JJ sold the boat and we are doing it for the new owner ,,,,,,,The white boat we bought from Lake Cumberland in 06 sold it in like 11 to a guy in NJ he had it a few years and then wound up in Dubai

Flightplan, what a great thread..... I really enjoy seeing all the various 28s. Thanks for starting it.

Seajet sent me this article from 1992. This may be his 28. Chime in seajet.

The article on the Red 28 was from 1992 and mines a 1995 but they both look almost identical. OL40SVX on this forum furnished those articles to me. Thanks flightplan for posting them up. Very enjoyable reading...

1994 Powerboat Article. Someone sent this to me a while back. Cant remember who. I've slept since then.

Very Cool thread Flightplan

it's like a "28 SKATERpedia"...... everything you could hope for collecting info and pics of the 28 (and not just a dribble of info here and there)

Great stuff. Here is the trouble I have. If you look at the price sheets on most of the rigging options such as props steering etc have not gone up much in cost. Now instead of spraying multiple gelcoat colors you can just paint. I know thing cost a bit more in today's times than back in the day but you would think based on those prices for hulls which I am sure back then they were still making money they could sell 28's today that you could get a base boat for a lot less than 200k.
I think if they would sell a new basic turn key model for around 175k the 28 would come back to life!
Just dreaming I guess.
