Hello 27Magnum,

Thank you. Looks like a super looking Sport.
What kind of power does it have and what equipement does it come with ?
Also where are you located?
Thank you
you can PM if you like
Thank You
Jim

as far as a value like h20 said....Speed is another issue it al depends on how the boat was laid up how light and how strong with a mild blower motor and the rite x dem.. that boat could run 80 all day long in really nasty water......If it is built close to a mag post some pics so we can see her.............

Hope you have a quick recovery Mark, If you need anything let me know. Stop by when your up to it, we're usually out back everynight tinkering with something.

Thanks Lee!! do you have a new project boat????

The Areo 27' were the first boats built completely by this manufacture, their was alot to learn on glass lay up. The boats were built in a old Pickle canning plant nort of Detroit, lots of resin, ok by the standards, speed & Hp of the day.
Magnums like Grumpy's ,Short Circuit, & yours nocig are capable of Racing & running 80mph speeds still today. To run a Areo today would take a lot of rework, all it takes is $$$$$$$. One item about SternPower drives they are easy to raise the X dem, just a round hole in the transom, easy fix.

Hi Mark, Wasn't the first Mag copy in the Klym Gem series the "Lancer" ???
Project? I am a project....well at least a magnet for them...LOL

Right on Lee the early boats were Lancer's ,then Marine Dynamics & Areo all with the same logo. Some of his early 24' & 31' boats were Chettahs,, made in California with the Lancer name & logo. Jim had the best prices and if you bought a blank,, rigged it yourself not a bad Magnum copy.

Mark, I'm happy to see you decided to post on OSO, there are not very many people with such an extensive knowledge on boats and offshore racing as yourself, and it is a real asset to have you here. Now we just have to see about getting
Red (The Apostle of Speed) Crain on here too.
I was just telling somebody about our wonderful plane ride back from Osh Kosh, WI the other day

Lee [ What happen's in Osh Kosh stay's in Osh Kosh]
Thanks Mark

OK guys here are some pictures of the boat I was asking about. What do you think?

Thanks
