Hello, maybe someone here can help answer a couple questions I have about these. Im a big fan of the classic speedboats, currently have a Donzi 22 Classic. Id love to find a clean, turn key Magnum for sale if its the right price to add to the collection. Forgive me if this is stupid question, but what exactly is the difference between a 27 Spitfire and Sport? Was the Sport just a later model of Spitfire? Also, what should I look for if I do find a good one for sale?

Magnum Sports came first built from 1968 to the late 70's, most were small blocks with a lower flat engine hatch. Starfires had a raised rear engine hatch some had Big Blocks & were built from around 1978 to 1982, with two being built in the later 80's.. Magnum also made 27' Sedan cruisers & Maltese magnums. Magnum sports can be had from 15k to 45+k just depends on condition, engines, & what drives they have on them, some may cost even more...

Its been a while since I was on OSO and in the Magnum section
Congrats on your purchase of High Times. I wondered if she would ever turn up again. Its been a long time.
If she stayed dryish should still be rock-solid.
Back in the day 1986-90 it would cruise at 50 (engines and drives by Andy at Jomar, Hydromotive 4 blade - were they with the boat). The exhaust was custom made by Pete Pavkovich.
Pre-1985 on the Black River it had custom big blocks and Nitrous tanks mounted on front bulkhead near auxillary fuel tank location. Hence the name High Times - nothing faster)
Don't know how much you want return to stockish from the factory look.
If you want the very specific passenger grab bar, let me know - - its still kicking around my garage. It takes up a lot space in the cockpit - - but nothing says period correct as that.
All the best

I talked to my dad today and he told me that the spirit of 76 had chicken bar and right hand drive and the exhaust went over the transom. also said that it was a miami boat show special. I'am going to his house sometime this week so I can post all the picture's that he has!
I bought this boat from the car dealer.
I have a few good stories.
ThanksSmoosher

That Mirage was the Wolverine,, Pete Smith was the owner. Blue Lagon was run by Jack Clark then and they sold the
CC-XK-8 metor,, and raced one called CC Rider it had red metal flake side's & black bottom. As far as I know Emerald City Harbor was the Magnum dealer then.
