Its hard to read but if the hull id starts with "cfn" the boat was made by "custom fiberglass boats" in farmington NH
The Coasties keep all that stuff on record

The tell tale lip on the bond line of a 28 does not exist on this boat. Add in the fact that it doesn't have the spine on the bow either and it's done deal....not a Cig.
That helm doesn't resemble the helm of any 28 I've seen either.

I have never been able to figure out why people do it. I've never seen a Cig with a Baja, Formula, Fountain, Sonic, or any other logo on it. Why put a Cig logo on one of them?

Looks like it needs more than an interior and hope this is not what you think is all it needs.
Don't put any more $$$$ into it until you really go thru it and get a professional opinion on it if you plan to do something with it.
Assuming :
1) You are not playing a newbie joke on us
2) You are not a boat restorer

Hull ID is shaved off and a metal plate with stamped numbers are over it as mentioned above. The stamp numbers do not come up with anything. According to online you have to have 12 digits on a boat hull. These are the numbers stamped: Cenh14482

Um, I bought this boat a week ago. I'm going to apply for a title, but need to know what it is before doing so. Why would this be a joke? Secondly, I'm not new to the boat world. However, this is the first boat that has me stunned. I know it needs more than interior work, I'm not a dumbass. Considering I only paid $1200 for the boat and trailer, the trailer alone is worth that. Thanks for everyone clarifying it's not a Cig. I guess I'll keep searching other makes.

You didn't pay a lot but didn't the seller give you some idea?
I'm a bit new here but I reckon it looks like a Magnum. Whatever it is, pretty classic lines, hope the project works out for you, good luck.

Hate to be a Debbie-downer, BUT.......The money you are going to spend to get this boat in order is going to WAY exceed its value when completed. Youd be better off buying a name brand boat for 20K and at least getting some return on your investment. With the boat having no legit numbers and no legit maker(yet), its going to be a hard sell. I know that boats are NOT investments, but unless your building it for "yourself" and you don't care about money??..... Also, it has Dodge engines in it??
