Aero 27 or 28
 

I found an Aero 28' on craigslist. I like the boat but would like to find one that is blank anyone have ideas?

Bryan

This is likely a copy of a Magnum 27 . . There are several of these available, do some searching. I have heard that the Aero's have been known to have issues . . . I have no experience with them.

Do you mean Aero-Tek ?

Do you mean this one?

thank you

Jim

move slowly "grass hopper" h2o mark needs to put on the helmet of knoledge and spit out some of the "tell" once chaneled via smoke signals or the bat light he will tell all he knows about klym and his jems, all i learned as one of the many understudys of the great master (yoda) is there was no mold sold but "poped" from the yellow zonker /double vision mag and voila with a chopper gun your a boat builder. lancer aero awesome were all alias of jim klym along with jim klem,many names many spellings

You'll have to pry him away from the TV. He's watching Canada's best show, "Trailer Park Boys".

Is this the infamous Klem Gem??

Thanks for the info. I did search the site and found some of the info about these. That is the boat in CT.

I thought if I found one and rigged it myself, it could be a neat boat. The one in CT is alittle high with all of the unknowns and as you might guess, the real Magnums seem to be commanding prices that I'm not will to pay for a 27' boat that is over 30 years old.

its like the orignal add said "TOO DAMMED MUCH BOAT FOR THE AVERAGE GUY" thats why some of us have 2 of them,,,, H2O come up for air and talk some smack,,,,,earth to mark come in mark,,, im breaking out the bat light

Another Klym Jem !!!
 

Bought a Jem from Jim in 1973. Told me He had just built the 454 to about 450HP. After a few hours, (about 4) the valves started sounding bad and it never ran like 450HP. Took it to a Mercury facility and when they ran the engine numbers, they found the motor was pulled from a totaled 1981Impala, and had never been rebuilt, completely stock automotive version. When I aproached Jim, he denided any knowledge of the facts and while i was there, an older gentleman came in and stated Jim had sold his son a piece of S*it and wanted him to step outside. Jim wouldn't and the guy pulled a gun. Jim was out the back door and GONE! Never got any compensation from Jim, but had the engine rebuilt and enjoyed it for a few years. IF IT"S A KLYM JEM--BEWARE!!! A sucker back then!

You engine most likely was out of a Impala POLICE CAR, Jim dealt with a local junk yard for used cop car engines. New carb, chrome valve covers, & a can of black spray paint, IT'S GOOD AS NEW. :eek: All this bad stuff has come back to bite him in the butt, read about his court date here last spring. :party-smiley-004:

good lord...

Jim did sell some good ones but the owners rigged them, here are a few of the good ones.:lolhit:

That was the idea I had in mind. I hate the idea of paying someone else to cut corners...

I saw it for sale at the Stafford swapmeet last month. was priced way high,guy didn't even bother to clean it. looked to have been sitting not fresh as he said.price has come down as of last night

I loved the line that they bought some molds from Magnum...more like he lifted them from Magnum. Bud

Yup !!! Right off the DOUBLE VISION Mag..
