Cool looking old sport, did someone buy it yet?
Bud is probably close in my book on the resto cost, depends how far you go. I bet the transom is no good after that trs conversion and the deck probably has water in it too around fittings etc. I spent at least 15k on fiberglass and paint on mine. If the gel cote is ok and you leave the TRS's you could do it for 20-25k maybe but if you go all the way its at least 50-60k in my book.
Mark - you can't think that that boat is a Mag. Never mind the deck and the drop down towards the bow, look at the size of the lifting strake, totally different imo.

Terry,, I'm going to the Great Lakes Offshore party March 5th,, Gill who had this Mag as Chartreuse may be there & may know where to find a replacement exhaust manifold. I will also ask around someone at the party may know.
