Not that i want another project but how come i don't find these 500 bucks on marketplace/craigslist boats
it's running on the hose around 11 minutes. after they started it off the hose i didnt think it would pump.
70's century arabian v drive rh 440

That is a cool boat

They are cool now but back in the day I thought they were ugly.

my oldest brothers friend had one when they first came came out. Rode like crap and was cheaply built .

But I thought the same of Sidewinders and Glastron jet boats back in the day.

Hard to grow up with a well built 26 foot offshore boat in the early 70s and not think anything but were pieces of crap.

Don’t see these very often.

1973 Magnum Marine Sport 25!! Rare 1 of 1 produced.

All original Barn Find!! I was going to restore it but my plans have changed.
Twin 350's Chevy engines. Volvo Penta 280 drives.
Project boat. engines and drives have never been taken out or replaced. Needs engines and drives to be rebuilt. Also needs new upholstery. Even has the original hoses from 1973.
It was last in the water in 2010.

This was my family boat in 1973-1979, I found it last year at Lake Mead and bought it back.
It has been in storage for the past 12 years, needs complete rebuild. It was last in the water in 2010.
Built by Don Aronow of Magnum Marine (Donzi, Cigarette, Magnum Marine ect).
Only 20 of these 25 sports were produced and this is the only green twin engine 25 Magnum ever built very rare.
Built in Miami and it spent its entire life on the west coast in fresh water.

In Cape Coral Florida in covered storage.
Includes 1977 trailer, in 2021 I spent $5,000 to rebuild the entire trailer. All new everything including 6 new tires. We recently trailered the boat from Nevada to Florida with no problem.
Owned by performance boat enthusiast & lifelong boater.
31 ft. overall on trailer. Has cuddy cabin to sleep 2.
Does 63 mph speed when new, very fast!

Great story but ummmmm no.

Powder Keg was easily the most restored Magnum ever on OSO and it was perfect and only like 39K or something ridiculous.

I'd love to the see the receipts on how he blew 5K restoring that trailer.

And now we have a price.

2.3 Mil. With a porta potty.
