Congrats on taking over the redoing of the Lil Smidgen Magnum. You been looking for a 3 man race boat for a while now. Here you go
Please keep us posted on the restoring project as it goes along.
Are you going to be doing the work yourself, or have some one do it for you?
Great to see it being saved and be great to see the progress on how she is coming along.
Thank you
Jim

Ive got old post from 2008 asking alot of info about this boat and wanted to find it, I even though of doing up another Mag to look like it as i love the way the boat looked and the History (wow)
Im a bit worryed as i know its a lot of work as you all have seen some pic's, but im going to pull it off as it funny how things fall into your lap.

Congrats! Thats awesome, glad to see she's coming back home (LSC). Many memories of her when I was kid at Emerald City Harbor.
I like the idea of keeping the name Lil' Smidgen and maybe with Wally Harper's name as driver.
GOOD LUCK!
