Yes, the one from St Clair thread, I hope someone might remember this Mag. because of the extensive work on the stand up faring. It was professional job probably done in Florida. No signs of race decals, I think it was fit out to race, but never got finished? She spent her life in Florida before Buffalo, it never got splashed up here, the Florida reg. numbers are still there.

I got this 24 predator from a guy who used to race her before the company went out of business. it was originally twin outboards but was re-rigged beautifully with a 454mag and a #3 drive. the motor was built pretty stout but dropped a valve and KABOOM!. A stock 330hp motor was put installed in front of the #3 and I bought everything. the boat, #3 drive, stock 330hp, and an almost complete 468 with aluminum heads. got a good deal on the whole kit. the boat went 68mph on gps on the test drive before I bought it. I changed the pistons and rods of the new motor and added a 177 blower. im hopingfor 80mph out of her once its done.
I have a ton of old literature from predator and Aero as well. contact me if your interested and I will do what I can to get you guys who want one a copy.

If you go back to the old motor dont over build it,its more fun to be on the lake than in the bilge !!!!
