In rebuilding mine, I have found "Boat 168" written on many different parts. In some cases it was under the formica which I removed to replace with new. Some of the parts had the date written on it too, along with what I presume was a part number and some had someone's initials also. What I think is...

I'm getting the same engines in mine at the same place (HMS Hound) and by everything I have heard and everything I've seen we couldn't be in better hands than at Carver's. Capt Vic's summary is the same thing Chris told me, what two different Cummins dealers have told me, and what I've been told by ...

I'm redoing my '61 and one thing I have learned is that the gel coat on the older boats tend to craze.

I have a friend who is selling a B-28 and it is in good shape and he took care of it. I noticed it in a listing at Brightwater Yacht Brokers in Point Pleasant Beach and you can look at the listing on line. I know that it has been for sale for a while. Good luck!
