Rehab on a millennium 28 Skater!

I'm very pleased with the way the boat turned out.
The original paint had been retouched a number of times and looked ok from a distance but up close portions of it looked like it had been painted by a child.
The interior was original and showed signs of 12 years of wear.
Still trying to dial in the set-up, only seeing about 111mph right now, hope to see 115mph before winter comes :-)

I bought the boat from the original owner (Harry...great guy) in up state NY. I checked with Peter before I bought it to verify that the tanks were vinyl-ester and not epoxy...he did verify that and this was indeed the very first 28, still in it's original colors, Harry did do a little upgrading in the dash. Still has 2.5's. and on it's original trailer too.
I am planning on upgrading the entire boat.

the interior and paint are showing a little age... just dated, not beat up and torn... have the race hatch for it as well.

We look forward to working with you when your ready for the interior.
Sometimes is seems foolish to put a bunch of time and money in a old boat to make it brand new again and it dosn't change the NADA value, or is it AS foolish to by a brand new boat that is worth half its value a year, or two down the road?

The factory finished the build of my boat in Feb '07. It is #126. A bit of a slow down through the following seven years. With the big boat demand and the increased difficulty of buying a small cat (insurance and financing), I'd be suprised if they were very far in the 130's by now .
Awesome job guys, I hope some day mine will look as good as yours did.
