I am hoping someone on the boards here can tell me all there is to know about this boat.

Pretty sure that was one of the APeCO Factory race boats. Bob Sheer or Jack Mathes would know for sure.

What would you like to know?

Yes that was an Apeco boat back when Apeco owned Magnum. I know it had Volvo drives but I cannot remember what engines. I am pretty sure it was the first Maltese. I am still friends with the gut that is in the picture driving.

I took that shot.

Mbam,
The statement that you made may have told me almost what I need to know. I know it IS hull #1. I have found the markings under the deck. For some reason the HIN was changed to an Ill state HIN and I currently in the process of having it changed back and titled correctly. I am also in the middle of restoring the boat and trying to get all info I can. There are only a coupla pictures of this boat in racing dress. I am thinking about finishing it as it is in the picture. Just want to make sure that it is the same boat.

Still have any pictures of it?

I'll dig around and see what else I have.

Does it actually have a Magnum HIN? I think a lot of those old race boats did not have HIN's. So if not the state issued a HIN for the title and registration.

I'm pretty sure that was built back when the HIN system was first being established (1972 or so).
