350 magMPI's with Stainless Marine exhaust. Yeah I've got plenty of pics on disc. Previous owner sent the disc before I bought it. I'll post as soon as I can figure out how to transfer(upload?)

Sweet ride. What kind of speed do you get out of those small blocks? Or did I miss that somewhere.

If I thought that this was even remotely true, I would have never purchased one and trust me, I did my homework. BTW - the only other boat under consideration for me was the 33 AT.
Alright, I just said that because I heard of a particular 32 Sunsation spinning out at low speeds and the manufacterur covered the loss, which I assumed was because it was partly their fault. I have also heard of Donzi's being bad at spinning out - straight from a guy who actually did it. He thought that it had to do with how far apart the steps were spaced.

Talking 28AT speed

I was running 71mph @ 4750rpms wot last year...I just labbed a set of Hydromotve 26/27"p and reduced the diameter to 15"...Throttle Up. I took the boat out but speedo is clogged and had another small problem so had to put it back on trailer. We'll see next warm day...I'd like to think I can get to 74mph. I added Stainless Marine exhaust and that added a few hp.

My twin 28AT is a true offshore performance boat that gets about 3mpg @ 3800 rpm's...2.2mpg @ 4800. It's a blast and when I'm ready to move up, it will be a 33 or 37 AT, of course!
nice looking boat and wife/ girlfriend

Boat looks like the very first 28 sold To JG. There was a demented picture of Bam Bam on the Deck if it's the same boat!
