Default Magnun on Face Book ?

This Magnum sport was on Face Book the other day, it said to be a late 70's hull. By this pic it could be a Klem as there is no deck insert visible. Also missing some Magnum deck hardware gas caps, nav lights, deck air vents, life line & factory Magnum dash & more. Klems boats did not have bow fuel tanks, there tanks were under the cockpit floor. It's a good looking and has some nice drives & other hardware but is it real ??? Has anyone seen this one ???

That is not a Magnum Sport...to much original hardware is missing. If any one was going to update a Magnum they wouldn't due that to this Sport.

That is not uncommon unless it has a front tank up front. Magnum added the front tank in many boats and even put weight in the front bow to meet local marine approvals in many countries ,especially Italy.

I know the boat, it is right down the street from me. Somewhere I have some pictures of it, it belongs to a guy right near Volo, IL who does fiberglass work on drag boats and vintage boats for a living. He did the transom on my sport a few years back, top notch work. It is a real sport that he has put a TON of work into to modernize it, the boat is imaculate. Although its not exactly my style it is a very impressive piece, it has 383's with bravos, imco lowers, and extension boxes. I'll dig around tonight and try to find the pictures to post.

Check out this link I rounded up some pictures of a couple of modernized Magnums, the owners of both of these boats were very helpful with the restoration of my Sport!

This is a very nice boat with much custom work done. A Magnum transom hull ID number would put all doubts to rest.

Now I am really interested. The work carried out looks to be top class..

So now we have something which is no longer a classic Magnum rebuild but a high end custom hot rod based on a Magnum hull and modified deck.

It looks on the face of it to be an excellent piece of work, so now the question is just how do you value it and what is it worth on the open market.

I do understand that it not all just about money but obviously someone out there must have bought it and therefore the builder must have found a market for such a craft if it is not just a one off.

Mark is right does the hull have a hin number, if so that would help. Or if it is like mine 1971 no hin number.

Which ever the case, the pictures do make it look very good, nice work

This build is way over the top, Magnum never did glass work on sports this nice. All the stringers are new, & that bilge is a showpiece...

Among all the other great customizations on the boat, I just love that engine hatch/rear bench configuration!!!
