In the re-do of the Thriller we found a name under the most recent paint..."Magnum Power" the 1974 maltese was orange in color,no cabin liner,4 gas tanks.The two additional ones were just in front of the cabin bulkhead.This was a Racing Magnum set up when purchased based on stringer placement.Prior to coming east 2-3 years ago it was out of Lake Havasu,however it was no stranger to salt water. When we took apart the 3 man bolster the aluminum frame was well pitted. Any history on this Maltese.? Bud Weisner

Sounds like the boat in the ad I have.....wish I could post it.

so you decided to do a full restore on it? Or did you find a buyer that is having it restored?

Aaron...post what you have,looking for any old info so I can have as much history on Magnum Power / Thriller

Jeff,most of the potential buyers want to spend nothing and they usually end up with nothing,I have had more potential buyers who want a Magnum ready to go,so I decided to put it thru a retro.Removed the 3 man bolster,complete re-paint,white with standard red badging.All original Magnum hardware being re-chromed,or buffed along with original candy stripped interior with racing bolsters.It will be a beauty when it is done. I am building a new web site "Magnum Restoration" that will show the progress on current and past boats ,plus some Magnum parts that I need to get rid of.

I will let you all know when the site is up and running. Bud

Got the port side sanded and need to correct the name...It is MAGNUM FORCE,,,,I have seen this boat before. Aaron you got to have some thing in you files, Bud

Okay Bud....in the back is an Orange 28 Maltese with a triple racing bolster....I was thinking this may be the boat?

Aaron was this an ad,or sales piece?The maltese had a life line and a light pole up front.It was sold by Burbank Marine 1/22/75 and only 7 Maltese's came from he factory in the Tangerine color,it also had 6 small air scoops which is uncommon,they normally came with 4 . Bud

Bud...it's an ad from a magazine. I have a sales brochure that shows a top view of the boat too....

Aaron please post it,I will be able to ID it from that sales piece, Interesting only 7 were painted Tangerine,5 Lime Green and 8 Yellow...which are the hot colors now. Bud

Me like that ad Too. With no finished cabin, could this Mag have been one of those boats the DEA would chase ??? in it's first life..
