Don't go talking me into buying another boat either. The misses will really quit talking to me.

It woulden't be stupid,i don't think there is another real correct race magnum around

h2oboater

There are more than you think. Short Circuit, Anaconda, Crazy Rythm, The Hawk & more that boat just here on Lake St Clair..

Dan had this Mag before he had the Magnum Starfire [ also pictured here ] he was going to race the sport but I believe he never did. Dan sold the sport to a fellow member of his Monroe boat club & that's when this pic was taken on the fork lift. Dan's buyer much later sold it to the guy on the Lake Michigan side of the state.

Crazy Rythm still is the same way it was for its last race in 1994 key west. Chicken Bar, Dry pipes, Left hand throttle.

h2oboater

Yes many are still correct & running...... Short Circuit has one of the longest racing history's & is also one of the winningest race Magnum's out there.

term1032000 only said it would be stupid for me. I have a top gun with new power being installed and redoing a 72 magnum also. I still kick myself for not buying short circuit when it was forsale.. I remember seeing your boat in Monroe, it's very cool boat & I'm very tempted. Lol

SO I have been shopping for a go-fast boat, I get the historical significance of this boat, but, if there was no historical significance, why choose this over some of the newer and more modern options (and newer here would imply maybe anything newer than 1985)? Would suspect there are arguments for the hull, but why else?

I realize I may be sacrilegious here, but i am also ignorant in these matters :-)
