NO SECRET,,, I am the owner of this classic Magnum. I have just been keeping it on the QT till I can bring her home and not pay any more storage fees on her. She is going to need much love to bring her back to the better days she had.
Well she's definitely in good hands .... that will add to quite a collection now and in the past!

from one sedan fan to another, there's not a lot of us out there. good luck with your resto. I did mine in '95. I've had some bottom issues, but I still love it. Can't wait to see your progress.

the bottom keeps cracking. I had a section reglassed a couple of years ago. I also added short stringers on a 6" wide pad under the engines as this boat only came with 3 stringers. I now have some stress cracks along the keel on the port side, about 2' from the transom. I'm not sure I will bother to fix it again, just run it until it can't float anymore and make a planter out of it. As for the windshield, the original owner made it himself. He said he bent the corner pieces on his gas grill. Other than that this is a great all around boat.

mikeb4. I like your list of boats. do you still have them all? On my way to the Magnum I had a 16 Donzi, an 18 Donzi and a 24 Pantera. I rerigged the Magnum in 1995 with 350 mag/bravos. Top speed is consistent at 65. cruising at 3900 rpms is about 52. Again, not a real speedster but a great all around boat with a big deep cockpit , walk around non-skid decks and sit up headroom below.
The swim platform makes it a breeze to get in and out of when swimming or at the beach.

Thanks .... another Aronow fan eh! - actually I was into offshores big time from 1983 to 1997 and then stepped out for 9 years getting back in with a 21 Cigarette in 2007. One of my favorites was Bob Kaiser's old 28 Cig I had for three years "Adrenaline" ... and my first year Top Gun - here are some pics ...
I have an awesome pic of my wife on the deck of my buddies sedan Miss B Haven I will dig up, scan and post here .... lot's of great memories!
That sounds like great performance from your sedan ..... nicely rigged!
