New Hull & Deck
 

I have a freind that just aquired the mold for the 27 Lancer which if everything I have heard is correct is the lone remaning mold of the 27 Magnum. Of course it is from a splashed Magnum, not the original mold
He is an experienced builder and will make a smoking deal to build one. Anyone have any interest let me know thru a pm
Thanks

Got a deck mold?...you could restore "Plum Crazy"....:)

not this one lol

Noo...not that one...:coolcowboy:

Funny I was thinking the same thing when I read about the deck mold.

Thank you

Hey Guys
He actually has a finished deck that he is going to use to make a mold then he would sell it to me.
I dont need another Magnum with a deck as I have two now. I am looking forward to the open bow version of Plum crazy. I am basically done laying out the front and will have all templates done within a week or two. I really like the layout and I think an 80 mph Maggie that seats 14 will be unique. And very practical for family and freinds.

LJ What boat is that?

What power would you estimate to get her to 80?.....twin 300's?......Will the CC Maggie have a lower floor?.........I do agree, seating 14 will be unique. The design challenge must be keeping you up at night, but I'm sure this new "open space Magnum" will be so rewarding after all the hard work is done...........gonna be 1 unique sport!

Based on what High Life is running I think 300xs mercs will do it or 350 verados Not sure yet if thats what I'm going to do Lots of investigating left.
Dropped the floor 7"s
The design ideas on this boat have been very fun. More complicated than anything I have ever worked on. Lets hope I dont screw it up.

Does anyone know the lay-up that MAGNUM used on the early boats, early '70. I had to install gas tank vents, aft of the engine bulkhead app. 4" below rubrail, glass was 1/2 " thick !!! Lated I intend to remove the thru-hull for the head discharge up near the bow to see how thick the glass is there. "HIGH LIFE"

Magnum Drawings
 

Mike I published about 1 year ago a drawing on the Maltese/Sport showing the position of all hardware along with the elec. lay out.Find that and you will have what you are looking for. Bud

Why? Do you want to lay the boat up with the same exact materials? Basically, the only fiberglass roll material available then, was 24 oz. Woven Roving, and Fiberglass Matt. Oh, and plywood. Should be easy to figure out.

Ed, I don't want to build one. I was just refering to how thick the glass was. My boat is a 1973 Sedan... liked if so much I bought another one in red . Best damm riding hull for 27'. Plus I'm using twin Merc 300X O/B. "HIGH LIFE"

Any new 27 sport decks out there!

If you were to build a 27' MAGNUM today, with NEW techonolgy how light could it be ? "HIGH LIFE"

With an open checkbook? A bonded hull & deck could be built well under a 1,000 pounds.

Just saw in one of marine trade e-mails that previous owners of Magnum are bring back some of the classics including the 27'.
Production is to be in Sebring according to the report.
No idea how far into this they are. Only know what I read.
