Hello Julian

Welcome to OSO and the Magnum Family

I am in the SF bay area of Calif.

Welcome
Thank you
Jim

She is a great Mag, one of the winningest & longest running race boats in offshore. :drink::drink::drink:

Mark,

You sure are up late there last night. or up early this morning ???

Thank you
Jim

Jim I dont sleep much. BY day I'm always doing something on one of my 4 offshores boats, or by night writing stories, or buying parts on ebay , & craigslist. :lolhit:

Or drinking with Bigwave and Red at the Rat! lol

Any time your in the presence of the apostle of speed [Red Crain] it will cause you to drink.:drink:

-----Joules,,,You have a piece of history there so please take care. I say that but I guess what I mean to say is "run it like you stole it" but always remember that you are the caretaker of one of the winningest ocean racers ever to pop out of a mold,,, "Short Circuit". I live about a half mile from Chucks house and will inform him of the change of address of the boat he drove so hard!!! ,,,,,,,Bill S

The history was the attraction of "Short Circuit", I got intrigued when I saw it listed on Ebay. After some discussion with JETFIXR we worked out a deal and I purchased it sight unseen. I have to say he did an awesome job on the restoration, it's not over restored.

We'll be out on Lake Tahoe again tomorrow to test her out now she's got new prop's for the 6250' altitude, it'll probably the last nice weekend of the season, overnight temps are due to hit freezing next week.

It'll be a long winter, but I've got some classic car projects to keep me busy.
