Oddly , no tabs or nozzle trim control. It takes 2 454's and 2 pumps to hit 60 on a 26, that one at least doesnt have the "e" pump like most jet cruisers. Look for 45mph with the contemporary peanut &logs bbc ,990'sand some gils or 496 manis and a dial with at least a cable trim system should get you around 55 or so

HIN ?
Quality?
Depends on who built it where it was built and what drugs were in vogue at the shop.
My 24' offshore was rock solid but I watched them build it with extra lay up, in Orange, CA. (1974)
Good Luck
PS I paid $ 12,000 cash 24' Cheetah Offshore/Hardin 454/MDS outdrive

Looks Like my yellow & white Cheetah 24' jet boat I had & raced back in 1974-5 . It's the same hull as all the many other that copied the original a 24', 7' beam Magnum like this black & white one. As a pleasure jet boat mine was fun to run as it did around 55mph, but racing it in modified class back then not so much fun as ruff water killed it. I later pulled the jet drive & converted it to a IO set up much better feel & ride in choppy water.
Update: Just checked with him, my friends Magnum is a 1973...

Do you have the hull Vin #,, I have my doubts that it is a Magnum. My two 27' 1973 Magnums have Vin hull # so if Magnum made a 7' beam 24' it would have one. Many have tagged there 24' hulls with Cigarette & Magnum decals.
