Looks like another take off of the 24 X 7 variety.

There were no 1989 Magnum 24's.

For history of 24's check out www.bananaboatco.com

Go to products, scroll down to 24 and read History of 24 footer.

Makes sense. I'm hoping someone has specific info about this particular boat. Thanks again. Dave911

Magnum Express Tantrum 24
 

Boat was manufactured by Magnum Express Powerboats, at 750 Copans Road, Pompano Beach, Fl. In business approximately 5 years, building the Tantrum 24 only. They were not from an Aronow or Magnum or Cigarette mold of any shape or length or kind. The new, never used, hull mold was purchased from Bob Saccenti @ Apache Powerboats & a Magnum Express deck was tooled. Apache never made a boat from the mold. The beam was 8'. It had a pad bottom, stepped transom & reversed chines & ran exceptionally well. Magnum Express built approximately 75 of the Tantrums in the 5 or so years they were in business.

I was under the impression that Bobby did build at least one 24' Apache. Am I mistaken?

First boat built with that mold had a stepped bottom and a race deck - this was the first race for Charlie Haimes as the navigator and sponsor of the boat.

Apache did build a completely different 7' beam boat. Apples & oranges.

That guy with the black boat did not make very many friends :bsflag: and turned out to be a "Legend" in his own mind.
I tried to buy it from the bank last year but it was tied up in all kinds of legal BS as there were many liens on it and it was also sitting on a trailer belonging to a person in Florida.
But it was a cool boat with high quality hardware on it, the bottom needed some serious attention as the lifting strakes were crudely extended.

the Tantrum mold is now owned by Twin Marine Interiors here in Miami and will make you one. I believe they have a new hull and deck built for sale.

Just got word from the seller. Boat is sold. Thanks anyway. D911
