It took some digging but I found the Cig I thought was a Mag, and the real Head Hunter from a old Power boat Magazine 1977. And Nordskog's outboard Mag.

Thanks to you all on the replys on the Headhunter.. that is the boat,I tried to post pictures but could not transfer them over.

On the question of restoring... the 29 will be brought back to it's original splendor. The others are brought back in style and hardware with new engines etc.

Also just got back from the Miami Boat show...great new graphics being showen by a number of offshore companys
