Hi Folks, Revisiting this site after selling my E28 a couple of years age. Anyone familiar with the Morgan 32 series built from 1980 to 1986. There was a 32, a 321 and a 323. They all have identical hulls with some changes to the deck and interior. 11'6 beam, modified shoal fin keel with 4'...

Hi, Revisiting this site because of it being frequinted by many sharp individuals. Sold my E28 two years ago and looking for a replacement. Came across the 2 boats mentioned that I am not overly familiar with and am looking for some feedback. 1983 Morgan displ. is 11,000 lbs. vs. 10,400 for...

Hi Mates, I have sold my E-28 and thought I was getting out of boating. It's not happening and I'm out shopping again! Just can't quit this habit of some 35 years! Anyhow I have come across a Niagara 31 and a Cal 31. The Niagara is 1,200 lbs. lighter but with a higher ballast to weight ratio...

My E-28 always developes transom soot after a day out. The exhaust is located in the bottom center of the transom under the ladder and points straight back. The boat is powered by a Universal M3-20 18hp diesel that starts easy and runs relatively smooth for a 3 cylinder diesel engine. Is this...

lifeline replacement Just did mine by removing and reseting to proper tensioned length. Sent to "Rigging-Only" who did the double lifelines for my E-28 for about $450.00 using Hayne turnbuckles and the Johnson over the center top of line gate hook. All good stuff and the assembly was well...

E-28 vs E-28+ Dear Martin, My question to your dad is why the E-28+ design was abandoned in 1996 for the newer E-28 design? What were the main reasons behind the design change and what were the changes beyond the obvious dimensions shown on this great site. I would also like to know from your...

E-28 owners manual Dear First Light, A little off the track but I also own a 1990 E-28. I was wondering if you received a 1990 owners manual as a would be very interested in getting a copy. I have downloaded the manual on this site but it appears to be from an earlier boat, maybe even a E-28+...

E-28 owners manual Frank, Thanks for your reply and offer. What year is your E-28 and is the book for the same year E-28? Have you seen the owners download for the E-28 on this site? Is yours different than the one posted because I already have that one. Regards, Sam

E-28 owners manual Dear GMauer, I downloaded a copy of the E28 owners manual from this website and believe it is for year models earlier than ours. Possibly the E28+? Have you ever looked at the manual on this site and compared to the one you have? If yours is different I would be willing to...

I am reposting to make this question a bit more clear. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the base of the lifeline stanchions on my 1990 E-28 run through a cored area or is the area beneath the stanchions solid fiberglass? I know that there is fiberglass above and below and probably a...

3/4" prop availability I shopped for a prop this past winter and was able to get quotes for my E-28. My shaft is 3/4". I spoke with Michigan Wheel, Martec and Deep Blue Yacht Supply. Deep Blue had the best price but didn't have one in stock. They said it would take 6 or 7 weeks and the...

28 vs 28+ In the Chesapeake I am pretty sure our boat has a rating of 180. The reason for that may be because of the light winds we experience many days on the Bay and the fact that this boat is a great boat for light winds. Regards, Sam

28 vs. 28+ The newer version from mid 1986 to 1991 is known as the E-28 from all that I have read and seen listed for sale. It has a 10'0 beam. Prior to that the boat was marketed as the 28+ which has a beam of 10'6. It is said to have been a cut down version of the 30. It also is suppose to...
