Windshield for 27' Sport
 

Does anyone know where I can get a windshield or anyone that would make one for me. The local plexi glass guy will not do it. Thanks for the help. Sean

I had Don Racine at Racine Design in Jacksonville, FL do mine......it turned out great!

BTW......let's see some pics......:)

That is exactly what I need. Yours does look great.
Did you send him a template or did he already have one?
I will call him and see what he cad do.
Thanks Sean.
I will post some pics this evening. I do not have any on my shop computer.

Windshield
 

Sean the windshield pictured looks as good as it will get.The fabricator we used in IL.did not due the best job and they really need the boat there to fit it properly. Bud

Looks good enough for me!!!!!!
Sean

He just copied my old one......if you want I'll send it to you or Don to copy.......

Well I was trying to post pics but cannot get it to work. Will try again later.

Here are a few pics of my project.

Cool.......was it a single originally?......what's the hull #?

What are your plans?

Tell your local plexi guy to put som nails in the shop door.

Nice project you have there. What engine(s) are you going with?

Good luck and let the pics come!

Re do looks great
 

Sean great looking redo,where did you pick the boat up originally,what are the hull #s on the back which will tell you when it was built etc.The way we are going there are going to be not many old Magnus to re do. Bud

I got it here in Louisiana and called Magnum and got the info on the hull # before I got it. Its a 1975 and it was a twin engine set up and I converted it back to a single and are going with a 502 and Bravo Drive. The motor is a 502 with Edlebrock Al heads,Merlin Intake,CMI Headers. Hope to make some where around 600hp. Boat should run good enough for me with that. What do you guys think it should run with that? I have taken some weight out of the boat as well. I could not belive that they had 2 galvanized steel tanks in the bow of this thing. Like to kill me taking them out. Had an Al tank built and just waiting on a few other parts to come in so I can start rigging. Everyone keeps telling me how great this thing will ride and I cannot wait to get her wet. Thanks for all the help and I will keep posting pics as I get closer to it being done.

Aaron let me know when you ge that boxed up and I will shoot you my UPS account # to get it to Don.

Redo 27 Sport
 

You are going to love your Mag....we all do.There is a another great guy Kevin at Team Marine,Northern Wisc. who can build your entire electrical harness along with gages, bezels and dash ,you may want to give him a call 608-525-8326.Attached is a photo of the new dash and side shot on the 28 Maltese that will be vinyl wrapped in Sept.Also the best upholstery comes from South Miami ,just got my Maltese back along with the interior for the 28 Maltese that will be wrapped.They are a work of art. Will send those pictures after they have been installed. Bud

Around 600 hoarse with a bravo and a good set up as far as x demension, prop selection should get ya in the mid to high seventies as long as she is nose light with not a lot of interior up there.........Good luck keep the pics coming we love em

Yeah we got the X a bit on the high side but rather be too high than too low. I can always buy a spacer.
Should be bow light no frills in the cabin and had an aluminum tank made to go under the back seat. Mid 70's is what I was thinking and hoping for.
I cannot believe you are selling you Mag was reading all the work you put into that thing it would be very hard for me to part with it.

you can try stellar plastics in detroit on gratiot
313-5277337 he use to have the mold

I use to buy plexiglass from them in the 60's I didn't know they were still in business ?? I know they were very helpful then with making boat windshields.

Bud that dash looks great, I wish I didn't live so far away I'm really interested in wrapping my boat in vinyl as well. Do you have any recommendation for me I'm in Delaware?

Wrapping Boats
 

WE can wrap most anywhere...I can send a guy out there to do it however rather do it at out our shop in Il.,better control. I can have it shipped very reasonable with a travel trailer hauler that I work with.Also the dash can be ordered right from Team Marine in Wi.
For all you big block guys ...the redone Maltese is running in the mid to high 70's and we dont even have it propped out right.Power is 383 small blocks,bravo drives,Mel Riggs did the rigging.Bud

What is the difference in price as opposed to painting?

Wrapping a Magnum
 

Thiller give me a call 312-607-3115 always special prices from Magnum Owners. Bud

No Cig,I think your wrong on mid to hy 70s,72 maybe.First his X looks to be 15 to 15 an half wich is to low to get the best out of it.Second unless he has the comp.at least at 12-1 and a darn good cam hes not going to make 600hp at 51-5200 rpms and thats as far as a T Bolt 4 will let you go,if thats what hes using.We raced in P4 with a 510 cast merlyn heads,ported, an,230 valves with 12-1 comp.MSD ign.an a crane 610 635 cam 110 racing fuil an the best we cold get was 78mph top end.When we moved to P5 we went with a 502,same heads an cam but 10-1 comp everything else the same,but 72 with a 26 Labbed B 1. Also whgt and bal. could be a real problem with tank under back seat,if front cabin is stripped out like I did with Vixen.Amarket1,not knocking your boat its a great looking boat,just saying a few things i found out the hard way with Vixen.

The pict. in the post above showes Vixens opening at 16anhalf comp.to amarket1 an you can see the diff.

Mag27 Thanks for the info my X is if I remember correctly 15 1/2" but I will double check. As far as the motor goes running MSD not Thunderbolt. Motor is a bit over 10:1 and looking to be dynoed in the next few weeks so I will let you know. If the boat runs 72 that would be fine with me. Not planning on racing the boat just doing a few poker runs and pleasure use.
Thanks for the advice and I will keep yall posted on how it comes along.

amarket1,your X should be about perfect for a pleasure boat,if i remember right the 27 Bajas were using 14 an half back around 98or99 the last time i worked them and they always run good,not like a Mag but good.Worked on a lot of 502s and think its one the best all around eng.GM ever put out for marine use,other than some valve spring problems in the early ones you jest dont have any problems with them if you dont get too wild with the rpm.or fill them with salt water like they like to do down here.10-1 comp,good roller cam,850 holly,and a good exhaust system and 600hp should be no problem.That should get you in the low 70s real nice and be easy to dock too. I can run in the low 80s with the eng.i have in Vixen but mostly run in the 60s and i fight it every time i have to dock the darn thing.Stay in touch,curiose how you do on the dyno,and how the whole project comes together.

Mel thanks. Yeah I have CMI's for exhaust and not too crazy of a cam but it is a roller. I will get the specs and post them. Mark@ Precision Marine picked it out and did all the machine work for me. His shop is right next door to mine. I hear ya on the salt water as I had a small pin hole leak in one of my headers and filled up # 7 a while back. AS I said before I have no plans of racing the boat just a pleasure toy. Take care.
