Lucky strike, That's a great looking Mag! ......not sure if you still own her, but I noticed how tall the lifeline stanchions were on the deck. Just wondering if they came from the factory that way.

Thanks, it was a cool boat. The Pic on the trailer was when it was brand new & thats the exact way it came out if the factory in 1973. I only had it for a year & then got a 1974 Cigarette 28 SS.

Thats Don Aranow & myself in my 28 Cig

Dave, The composite superstructure (stringers, bulkheads) material, will this include (penske board) Airex PXC ?....... the reason I ask is, I'm in the process of ripping out the cockpit floor just wondering about a lite-weight replacement. Also, I found rot in the lower plywood partition (wall between the cockpit/cabin entrance) the main bulkhead is fine. It's the area that wasn't protected (above the tabbing) that wicked in the moisture. Would penske board be a suitable replacement for the sole (cockpit) floor and lower partition repair?.....Scippy

Lucky strike, Thanks for sharing the ''Vintage" pictures. It must bring back fond memories of those early powerboating days for ya. Also, Not too shabby that Don A. got the helm of your boat!
