Interesting, looks like it's the real deal. Sure is a beautiful beast!

Wonder what the blue and yellow one is all about then?? I saw it being advertised for sale about 5 years ago and the description read that it was Don Johnson's old race boat..............not sure how many of them were built??

If he makes it down to Key west, that'll be at least two Magnum racers on the island. I predict Techtonic plate movment, spinning compasses, thottles mysteriously slammed open and who knows what else................

I'm pretty sure it is the triple engined 46'..........this old OSO thread suggests there were more than one......

Speaking of old race boats, who knows

This is a nice picture of the 46' triple that won the worlds in ’88. I have read that Sonny Biller used to have this boat. Tim, did you buy your boat from Sonny Miller?
