Whats the groups opinion?

Hi Doug,

I am new to the forum too. I have a 1971 Magnum 27 Sedan which has been in the family since the late '70's. In the late 80's my father replaced the original Ford H&M engines with Ford Commander 255HP with uprated exhausts at the recomendation of Magnum at that time. I have fully refurbished the boat over the last couple of years and I am currently fitting 325HP Mercruiser 357 Mag Bravo engines coupled with Bravo 3 outdrives and I am fitting Stainless steel manifolds & mufflers from Hi-Tek Marine in Australia. Works should be finished in about 6 weeks so I will be able to tell you then if it was worth it!!

It's always worth it keeping these old girls running, no matter how you power them. As of late it's great to see that Sedans are making there place known in the Magnum world.

Nice too see more 27 Magnums in Europe! Great choice with the Hi-Tek Marine manifolds I have heard only good things about them. I even spoke to the owner of Hi-Tek in Australia, Allen, and he claimed his manifolds gave the same power increase as CMI!
