Okay thank you for the history. I had always wondered where that white 28 went. My brother traded that 28 into lake Cumberland for the 36 skater liquid metal. Crazy it's back over seas for a second time!

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.

Come back to life???? They never died. Still the baddest outboard Skater!!!! No other can touch it!

Kirk Jurinek now owns it and had to go through everything to get those engines figured out. It's running well now. Here's a video last summer I took. He lives around the corner from me in Antioch.
