magnum 27 -wanted
I am looking to get out of fishing and purchasing a Magnum 27 sedan. Lets hear why all of you magnum 27 owners chose this boat. I boat in the waters of the east end of long island ny, Gardiners bay The waters here are shallow and get very tight closley stacked waves when the wind is blowing. Will the magnum be a good choice for these conditions? I have owned formula 233, albemarle 24, blackfin 25, bertram 25-26 so familar with the smaller deep v ride. Is the magnum much better than the ones I listed?I have never taken a ride on a magnum 27 , just love the old school look.

I think once you go for a ride in a 27' Magnum you will be hooked. Here is my father driving about 1990/1991 at 81 mph via a radar shoot-out on Barnegat Bay, NJ. Loved that boat!

Smarty,
I agree with your advise. If you can find one ready to water test, by all means you won't be disapointed in the 27.
The picture of "hairy canary" is a familiar shot, but I can't place it now........The running surface is dialed in beautifully with just enouigh air beneath the hull........what was your father running in her?.............is the boat still in the family? ........really dig the hairy canary!

No, my father sold the boat, I think around 2005/2006. He had it for 18 or 19 years, it was apart when he bought it (no engines, needed and interior, he raised the X-dimension, general re-rigging, blue-printed the bottom) Had a set of LS-7 (454 cu.in) BBC, 10.5 compression, spun 27" labbed Mirage props.
I miss that boat. My late father (he passed away in 2008) left the Phantom in the family, which is a nice boat, and is very fast/efficient for the power, but that Magnum looked and sounded great and was fun to drive.
And, I just got a Christmas card yesterday from Magnum, which is very nice.
The owner does live on Princeton Ave., he is a very nice guy, and I am glad he bought it, because he truly wanted it.[/

Smarty,
It's great the boat ended up with someone who really enjoys it now.......must have been so satisfying for your father to enjoy his "build from stratch" magnum sport 27.......(in the picture) he certainly looks exalted by the boats performance at the helm.
Bob,
Like to see it up close.........is it possible to see it from the street on Princeton?...........maybe I can come out and pick up the teak dash cover and get to see the boat as well....pm me with better info......................"Happy new year to all"

Did you decide on a Magnum yet?
My friend has a very nice Magnum Sedan on an Aluminum trailer that he will let go for short $$$.
It's Blue and White.
Shoot me an email, I have a bunch of pictures of it.
