Red Baron - NE Ohio

Anyone know anything about this boat? It's been rotting away in the same place since I've lived in Eastern Ohio (about 8 years now)...

??Could be Bob Higgin's 32' Cigarette?? Previously raced by Billy McDonald, and Billy Wishnick---as the 'Boss a Nova??---
Or--just wants to look like the 'Red Baron'??

Looks more like a 27mag or maybe a signature.

It is a Mag sport, and here is a better pic of it from back in the day.

Interestingly enough, I was getting fuel tonite near Milton Lake for test and tune after some drive work, and a kid came up asking about my boat. He mentioned the Baron, that his grandad owned it, and he is now about 75 years old, and cant manage it anymore. Whether its true or not, this thing is wasting away. If someones interested, Ill give you the address to give it a shot for purchase.
