This has been listed before... It's gorgeous, but it's powered by a single 289 Ford Interceptor... too bad. 28' is pretty big for a single small block to manuever around the marina on a breezy day.

You would be surprised how much difference there is in how a 'woody' moves at low speed. My father had the same model as this - 28" Sea Skiff, but the 1969 model - for 25 years. Its the boat I learned on. It tends to track and hold its line better than the glass models. In these boats, the issue isn't the power, its the rudder.
