I am considering a project boat. Just wondered what people had to say about the differences between the 27 magnums and the 28 cigs. I'd consider a mid 30' project boat, but don't want to get too carried away. looking for that classic boat.

Magnums a true classic. A friend has a 71 or 72 sedan. A little heavy perhaps and a little slower ( no steps), but can that thing handle rough water. Plus , that boat is SOLID. I also know of another local guy who has a 27' sport with two healthy BB's and Bravo's and that sucker IS fast.
Good luck with either

welcome to my world dredgeking . . .some day i will have a 27 sport mag. greatest boat of all time, i think. some day i wil give up my 260 scorpion for the right mag. lookin for the right project, bare hull with no power. want to run brovos or dpx volvos with GM ram jet feulie small blocks. i spoted an old arneson rigged hull in michigan but dont know if it is for sale , cant seem to find anyone that has info on it. this is one that was for sale at TNT.

There is a 27 sport for sale in Grand Haven, MI. It's at Baker Engineering (at least the last time I saw it). You might contact them (area code is 616 but I don't know the number). It was a project boat in my opinion....I think it was a 78??? Probably a running boat, but it needed some work. Looked really good from the road.....not so good up close....

the magnums have a bit more of a unique look over the cigs in my opinion. i'd like to find a complete boat. i don't want to have to rig the hull from scratch.

Dredgeking,

Here's a complete one!






Why bother with a project?

Dredgeking,

The way I see it it's a win win situation. But you gotta love the Magnum 27. The boat has great lines.

Dredge,
I have a 1973 27' Magnum with twin 400 HP Chevy 350's.
The boat is completely restored and must sell. Call and I will give you full specs and prices.

DK, the boat by me is a complete boat. Engine, TRS drive (I think, may have been a volvo of all things....), tabs, interior, etc..... It's drivable in it's present condition....just needs some TLC and cosmetic work. Even sitting on a trailer. If you want, I'll dig into it a bit more next week?? email me [email protected]

magnumman, i love your restoration / updating. it's the best i've seen so far.

hey foul, if you have time please get some info for me.

IDRPSTF, email me with some pics and specs and i'll give you a call.
