Jolly Roger location?
 

Does anyone know what happened to my 27' Magnum, "Jolly Roger"?
I heard it was sold to Magnum a few years ago to make a mold from. Let me know.
I sold it to a guy in New York City who owned a body shop in 1981.

Your Boat
 

Roger post this request in the Classic Offshore section also. Bud

Roger....Is the blue sport you have now my old " Commotion " ?

Steve

Hey Roger....any chance your boat was the black "Deranged" at some point?....it was an early boat that was originally red.

Steve,

This magnum is nto your old blue boat that Gary bought from you. I bought this boat in December 1981, from a guy in Pompano (Steve) I think it was an old Race Boat called "Running Bear" P-20; 5 fuel tanks; 3 place bolster; race mounts; 280HP mercruisers; and TRS Drives. I put 500hp 454's in it in 1983 and are still in it today. It's a great magnum.

Roger

No it was not.

Roger what drives did your magnum have, Trs or Stern Power ? I Found your old 38' Sutphen here in Michigan, in the BayCity area. It was for sale last winter on craigslist.

Not TRS...... The boat was so fast that in the first Barnegat Bay Race in N.J. he lapped us in my 27 Sport.
In 1979 when I built my new Cigarette 28 SS race boat to try & beat Gazell in the 30 Sutphen, the Cigarette came out of the factory at 65 mph. Took it to Rogers new shop in Brick & between him & Don Stoll they tweeked the boat...No engine work & it then ran over 70 mph........ That's called talent !

Still couldn't catch the blue Sutphen....oh well... If ya can't lick em, join em.

set up...now thats hot

Roger's Magnum had Stern Power SSM on it.
I bought all of Roger's old Volvo Drive parts for my Magnum Sport. Roger installed it all and raised the drives also.

Thank you
Jim

Jim.....When Roger was done with the boat how much faster?

Steve,

Roger, raised my Volvos drives, installed the old drive trim set up from his Sport, blueprinted the bottom, up-dated the steering, installed K-planes,,and using the special shafts with Merc clever props , it would run low 70s, with stock Crusader motors. the guy who owned the boat before me in Fla, replaced the good chrome/Ni Crusader exhaust mainfolds with stock cast iron ones. i found a new pair of the Crome ones and made new SS water cooled/jacked tail pipes. but didn't get to try them as i had the motors out getting redone.
When i was putting it all back together , i sold it to the late Jeff Galente,, Not sure what speeds Jeff saw with the new fresh tricked up motors. he sold it to a woman in that area after about a month after we had it all done. i think Jeff only took it out once as it was winter and still some ice on the Bay.

I completely re-did the whole boat,, all new Imron paint hull and top deck,, all new interior with a new BiltRite 3 man racing bolster set up with drop seats and all new covers.
re-did all the wiring and plumbing.
After Jeff sold it,, it just disappeared. love to find it again?

Thank you
Jim

Jim,

Were they regular Volvo's or E drives?

Jeff

Hello Jeff,
They were 270 Volvos. Roger had all these extras on his old drives and when he converted to Stern Powers SSM,, he sold me the parts and installed them on my Sport along with raising the drives, the K-planes, steering and the bottom work.

A while after that, Don Stoll sold me a pair of special SSM Volvo type lower drive unit housings that supposely Wally Harper and the folks in Mich. had made. Was told they made up a few sets. I put them together, but never put them on the Sport and they were sold wiith the Magnum

Thank you
Jim
