I have run the boat more than 1500 nautic miles this season and I think it's good enough now.

Hi Mark,

Thanks

The funny thing is that it has been some races as well this season. Not any serious hard core offshore races, but still some racing. And we did well in Stockholm Shootout, 1th place.
And I have done alot of just pleasure rides, it's nice when you can go 65-75mph and hold that speed for a long time and in rough water conditions. I change oil in drive and engine every 10hrs. Some people tells me it's stupid to replace oil that often but I think it's more stupid to break engine and drive.....been there - done that before.

Hi Jeff you better hurry, the boat is up for sale now, I have my new 28 Arrow in the mold as we speak. I going with egg's, twin 300xs on that one. Outboards is a new thing for me. Except for the 28hp Mariner when I was a kid +30 years ago The new Arrow will be rigged for our national offshore class V-750. And ofcourse we will go with foot throttle are you on this side of the pod in near future? //Mange

Mange, Glad your rigging w/o/b, the 300X's are animals ! I have a '73 MAGNUM SEDAN w/2-300X, runs 78 so far. Heavy hull runs great on my side of the Atlantic, Boston,Ma. Would be interested on how you are setting up your boat, do you know bare hull weight ? Keep us posted. Good luck, "HIGH LIFE"

Hi guys,

Two weeks ago I sold the Arrow. Mixed feelings for sure but the right guy showed up and after 7 years it's time to move to something else. The nicest boat I have been in. Great handle in all kind of conditions and the best thing it's still has all the classic legendary and beautiful lines from the coolest nr 1 boat ever, Magnum Marine 27 Sport

Thanks guys for all support and kind words
