Now that ironhead on board he should get a kick out of this pic. Back when the Magnum was racing we never turned down anyone who wanted to help, this shot was taken in my backyard around 1981. I gave them wrenches and they went to work. Who would think that the guy in the green shirt [ironhead] would in later years win 2 offshore World Championships. If you can wrench on a Mag you can do almost anything.
how was your's set up, was your wheel in the centre or????

Len, I made the dash one pice, and into a center steer, that also worked as a wind faring. Here are shots at the 1983 Detroit race, and it's non flashy black small block chevy's. Here also is a pic of the Mag and the dash after I sold her to Dan and Joe.

there the only two boats that look to have a little dif bolster seat style, if you look at the spirit and charge it.. the left and right sides of the arms rests on the bolsters are shaped unlike the rest they come down and then run stright to the dash, instead of just droping right down.... do you have any pics of the seats and dash of spirit

When I sold her to the Chemical Reaction team in 1986, the first race they enterd they Won. The Mag was untouched, as I had run her as a pleasure boat for 2 years before selling her to Dan & Joe.. In there first race in big Lake Michigan water she Rocked.
