----That would have been my El Pescador, Katanna!!! John was a close and valued friend. I really miss him and his common sense. John told me that he put this 27 together for the "then" owner. He also said that the motors were somewhere around 400ish hp and the boat would run 70 or close to it. Dont know whats happened in the interim. "Sumpins rong sumwear"!!!.........Bill S

.After leaving Key West last week it was good to get back to reality & stopping by Magnum Marine. Harold gave Jeff & I the grand tour. Magnum had a new 50' in the water & it is very nice, powered by 1500hp MTU diesels this Mag runs around 70 mph.. Magnum has a refurbished classic 27' hull sport mold but no deck mold yet . We also saw some raw copies of the new book, very cool.. Here are some pic's of the tour.

You both are correct, the wood work is some of the best. He was a Craftsman indeed. I'm thinking someone has done the engine's since then, it has 600 Edelbrock carbs, stock smooth idle and late model electronic ignition. I'll get to the bottom of it. Thanks for the info guy's.

----It seems like I remember John saying your boat had 750 Hollys on it back then, but I cant swear to it. I was looking for a 27 Sport back then but that owner wanted $70,000 and that was clearly out of line, or I thought it was. At the time it seemed like he just threw out a high price because he didnt want to sell it. By the way, he lived on Grosse Isle and he and John Davis were very tight, good friends......Bill S

On the wall @ Magnum is this pic of P-60 SHOWDOWN, thats my old race Mag in one of it's many lives, not even SPIRIT, or Li'l SMIDGEN, or Li'L RHINO made it on the office walls of fame @ Magnum.

Hey Mark - did Harold say when the book might be done? They were building that 50' when I was there 1 1/2 yrs ago I think.

Harold said around the first of the year, but after Jeff & I found some errors with some pic's & text I would say early spring of 2014. I believe that's the same 50' Mag, greatness dose not happen over night.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows just how many Mags are left on, or around Lake StClair?

Here are some of the Lake St Clair Mags that are still around. There are at least 3 more Mags that are missing, I will post pic's of them later.

Thanks h2oboater,
Not too many are there. Well you can add mine to the list. I worked on Anaconda quite some time ago. I wonder if Joe still owns it.
