Gary, We also have a 1983 E28+ but with a fixed blade prop. We typically power at 5 knots and find this to be the ideal without starting to approach overheating. On occassions we have gone as high as 5.5 knots, but that is the exception to the rule. Bernard

E - 28 We have an E-28+ and like it a lot. I'm not sure about the model years. From what I've found out, they were in production from 1980 - 1984, which doesn't match your 1990 year, with hull numbers from 501 - 594. Are you sure it's a 28? I think you meant to type 38s and not 28s. If it...
