Default 28' Magnum

Hello everyone I've just purchased my first boat a 1974 Magnum. I'm not sure what model it is I've never seen another like it. it's a 28' with two 350 engines with holley 800 carbs and Mercruiser 280 outdrives it looks like it was set up for racing there is no fuel gauges or hour meters. I plan or restoring it this winter and will be in need of some parts. Also it has four fuel tanks does any one now what the capacity is? and how to determine when you need to refuel without any fuel gauges. There are two digital displays that don't seem to work but give a Gallons per minute reading any idea? they look factory.

Default Tracking down model

If it is a Maltese I can date it for you from my records and tell you what it left the factory with,drives and power.Where did you get it from,also it probably has 3 gas tanks and one water and the racing gauges should be in the floor.If it has four gas tanks it was changed after it left the factory.The two rear tanks hold 45 Gals per.post pictures and all the Magnum people will help you ID it.
