Missing the price for the 350cu.in/395hp MerCruiser Tempest package. My father had a 1974 Sport (he was not the original owner), which was delivered by Ocean Beach Marine in Lavalette, NJ. The delivering salesman for the boat told me that the boat delivered in 1974 for $32K, his name was Brad, he worked for dealership for 20+ years. The Magnum when new had the Tempest engine package, TRS drives, original from the factory.
While not the original owner my father owned his Magnum for 18 years, so the history of it was pretty well sorted out.

Spare no expense
Funny thing is, is that this is the price list given to a prospective buyer at Emerald City Marina, in Michigan.
they really spared no expense eh?
I have the original bill of sale that went with it as well.
Price surprised me as well, thought they were much higher.
Great Value 40 years or older and still going strong.
Magnum should be right up there with Harley Davidson, Corvette, Indian, etc. as American classics.

Horsepower
Guys,
i believe the number to the left of the engine package is the horsepower rating.
For instance the 300 Chris Craft.
I know for a fact these were 300hp Chris Craft Model 300's
This was the 350 FLVHP package, 300 hp each. 350 Cubic inch Corvette LT-1. Corvette valve covers.
I am assuming horspower is indicated for others as well for others.

Because of that reality check I bought my first Klem Gem. Looking back 35+ years later & all the boats I bought to get back to a Mag I should gone way in debt. I would sill have that Mag and been money ahead today.
