I just posted some video from 1998 of my 28 foot Magnum race boat B-19 RUNAWAY.
This was a fun run we did in summer of 1998 in Barnegat Bay NJ. I am in the center
driving, my long time friend and racing partner Chuck Burke is on the throttles, and our
navigator, Steve Pollok can be seen in his Cig TG, as he runs with us. The speed can be
appreciated about 2:22 in on part-1. The video is from the route 37 bridge, south to
Manahawkin, and back north to Forked River, where I lived at the time.

Of all of the boats I have owned through the years, this one is the only one that I really
really miss. I would love to buy her back and restore her, but she has been to badly
stripped, and is now overseas.

Chuck is the best!

I saw him in Aug when I was in NJ to take care of some court business.

Great videos! You might not be able to easily get the boat back, but I think you can get the drives back as long as you're willing to buy the Hustler they are attached to. Just out of curiousity...where overseas did Runaway end up?

Bytheway what was the original rigging & engines?

Yikes!! Sorry 24degrees....didn't realize there was an existing name so close. I'll be making a change. Worry not!

I sold off the drives, gimbels and steering, and they went on to a very nice 32 Hustler. Looking back the price was fair for me and fair for the buyer. I have always really liked the 32 Hustler.

ABout a year later, I sold everything else that was left. If the buyer still had the race hull and race motors together and in the US, I would have bought her back a long time ago. He sent the hull to Sweden, and sold the engines (where most of the money was) went to a guy in either NC or SC.

Te see the specs on the engines that I had in the boat, go to my web site www.dkorinc.homestead.com and then go to the Magnum tech specs.

That Hustler probably has seen the water 3 or 4 times since those drives went on it. The guy had it rigged, ran it a few times and became a dad (not sure if one had to do with the other...it normally does). I know he had some issues with the 540's in it, so he had both engine overhauled. It went back out to Long Island to be sold a couple weeks ago. I never saw it finished but hear it's a nice boat. I think he was trying to get somewhere in the 40's for it.
