I know it will be hard to find. I'm willing to travel. Any out there???

Ok-OK Magnum or bust!!! LOL

I will keep an eye out for a 27' Magnum if I see/hear of any for sale. This site (OSO) - the people on this site - is/are very good when it comes to finding a Magnum.

Look in the Salty Dog and Boat Trader (online), that's is how my father sold his Magnum (he had it advertised on OSO and in Powerboat Magazine - lots of tire kickers), and it went pretty quick.

Keep looking...

The drive is not the main issue with the boat, the transon is rotted-away, and the boat needs work.

OK brother thats cool. I talked to your friend a month or so ago. But He never sent the photos. We had a nice conversation he seems like a nice guy he was busy at the time and out of town.

Just went on OSO classifieds tonight. I am not familiar with the boat, but it looks clean, SBC, Bravos, newer interior. Don't piss your moneyaway on a project boat that won't be worth **** when your done, this one is done.

(less the steering system, and rollers for the trailer for low tide loading at some of marinas nearby)

Russ, I looked at the most recent Boat Shopper (issue 36). On page 74, there is a 28' Cigarette SS, with hydraulic steering and twin SBC, ad says "mint condition." In my opinion if you cannot find a 27' Sport, a 28' Cigarette SS is the next best thing.

The ad lists the boat for $32,000 (has picture)

I will keep looking for you; I realize $32K is long way from the $8K-$10K range that the Aero was in, but I thought it might interest you.
