Looking for a 27 Magnum
I am looking for a 27' Magnum Sport and am wondering if there are specific structural defects I should be looking out for.
Are transoms and stringers prone to rot?
Can a hull with Volvo outdrives be refitted with Merc TRS or is this impossible/impractical? I had a Donzi with a Volvo outdrive - not having power trim sucks. My Scarab had TRS's and I liked them alot.
Any advice would be appreciated. I would also be grateful for leads on available boats in good condition.

Anything can be refitted, the Short Circuit was a Volvo boat, redone with merc drive's, raced and won many races. Volvo makes some great drives now, that may be another way to go also. This Maltese has been refitted with Volvo drives, looks great.
