Mel, its not really a inliner, its more like the structucal system I talked about. I'll bring some photos. bare hull and deck 1900lbs, and complete boat is 3800lbs. Thats the more correct numbers.
I dont really have the material specification on the Arrow. Hermelinen, help me out here!
Nice to see so many Swedish friends here. Just send me a PM or a e-mail if you wana meet.

Its made out of fiberglass and ployester. The deck is reinforced with some balsa wood.

I'll now order a 32 4 blade Bravo prop to test. Some says 34 would be more correct but I dont know...

Mange,hermelinen.Thanks for the reply,i realy like your boat and i was hoping that if Magnum did ever build another 27 it would be built more like yours and not just a new 35 year old design.Dont get me wrong i love my old Mag,but thats just what it is,old.I bought a 28 phantom in 2004 to race in p4 and it had a modified Magnum hull according to the builder. The first time my team got the boat up to 80mph it wasnt a Mag anymore.Vixen will run streight and true all the way to 90,nothing silly or unexpected,but that thing when it got close to 80 it would start chine waulking so bad you had to pull it back.Not every time but when it did it i had two guys as white as ghosts when they got in.
