Here is a local Mag that had a very short life 1 year, Chip-a-dees owned by Ken Stevens. When the lake St Clair boy's came to a race some would have there boats racked and brought to a race. This was another Mag lost in the fire at the harbor. The other boat on the rack is the Nova Come Again owned by Sam Altese. Sam would later be the third one to owne & race my Mag, he raced it as Come Again in P class.

Larry added all that to the boat after I sold it to him.
The best thing I liked about the motors I put on the remote oil filters . Any of you guys who change you own oil know they are a ***** on a Mag.
I don't have a scanner for the pix's, however if you pm me with your home address I'll mail them to you

Sorry, no not for sale boat or bolster. Here is a pic of her now with the stand up faring removed, the dash, and the seats. I want to keep the three man bolster for poker runs. I just finished the wiring, she has been a major undertaking for a one man band in his garage. This is my fourth winter, I only work winters. I want to splash this summer.

NoCrig,
When you cut and dropped your floor. Did you reinforce the center Stringer?
When i did my sport, I glassed in 1" marine ply wood on both sides of the center stringer, might have been a over kill on my part,, but didn't know any better, figure better to be safe then sorry
i cut my opening about 20 inches wide
Thank you
Jim
