looking for advise for a 28 ft magnum. I was originally going for a 502 single. thanks for any input

MAG27 has a single in his. He won the 2003 APBA national championship with it. I think it's pretty hard to beat the single big block package.

I think you will be more than happy with a single. I run a single in my 30 and wouldn't want twins. You will have a great package with that combo and can always upgrade the power later.

Back in the day I helped covert this Mag from a single engine factory race boat to twins, it was much better as a twin..

-----I guess I have to ask,,,what are the stringers set up for now??? If they are solid and the boats a twin now,,,why change. You will have to do major stringer work to re-arrange things, as well as transom holes, etc. Even changing the "X" isnt anywhere near as invasive. I am an admitted twin guy cause I like to make it back to the lift if one pill gives out, but thats just me.......Bill S

The boat is being finished and has no stringers as of yet. I purchased the boat which was built in 1988 and still rests in the mould cradle never finished off.

This is very strange and important,who did you buy it from and where...there is a HIN # upper starboard side of the rear transom,can you e-mail it to me.There was 3 Magnums built in 88 ,one CC,one sedan,and one Starfire.This may have been scheduled to be the the Starfire but never was completed,or and unbuilt center console.Did it come from Magnum ???

Mange, on this forum, a search will find him .. built an Arrow 27 with a single BBC that runs well into the 90s. Note that his boat has a pad hull with air . . .

but as a real Magnum, if that's what you have, it should be a twin . . just me own opinion.

What ever happened to Pirate Racing's 27 Magnum that ran a single BBC? IRC it competed in 2009?

Is this a real Mag or a knock off [Aero, Predator] .
