In about 92/93 in S Florida, a guy saw me working on my 28' Mag raceboat at a friends shop. Said he had a old 27 flatdeck basketcase. I went to look at it a few miles away. It had Stern Power Speedmasters, BBC,s ,color was white w/red small stripes.Had herringbones in eng. compartment. Boat was disassembled but almost everything was there. Deck was soft so somebody started converting to center console. He bought it in this condition. I helped him finish the conversion . He bought a pair of Mercs and Stainless Marine bracket from Scott at Intense Marine. Dont know how many they made with this combo. I'll try to contact him to find out where he found this boat and its history. Good luck finding your dads boat.

I've been here since 1969. My memory doesn't start 'till 1973..at 4yrs of age.

It will probably take way more than a week-end to try to cover 1/100th of the sheds and garages it may be put away in.

I don't ever recollect seeing your dad's boat and i would think i would by the bow rail on it, even though someone could have changed it at some time.

Many coves, bays, docks, houses, garages, off water storage, off water barns/garages, etc that I have missed a good amt of boats that have supposedly been here for years.

Also, many owners of 'the cool' offshore 70's-80's era boats (new or not very old) have unfortunately started to leave this earth.

I work in Meredith, feel free to let me know if you need me to check out a place that may have it.

Quick thought popped in my mind.

Shop I own in Meredith is few hundred yards from the lake (Winni) and I have tons of local customers obviously.

How about you make a 'Have You Seen This Boat' poster and mail it to me. I'll put it up in my customer area and make sure to point at it and mention it as many times as I can. I'll also ask long time boaters / business owners in town also,

Send me a PM for address/contact info if you want.

This is going to be a stretch but the EH Mag had mechanical shift Sternpowr drives, they did not hold up well. This mag came from the east coast to Lake St Clair years ago with Arneson drives I wonder if it was it ????? Sparky restored it to this Black Mag maybe ? So many Mags have been re worked over the years so you never know. It's already been a long winter for me, As I said it's a stretch.

Not the boat . . anchoring lights in bow are further aft on EH! than this boat . ..

we had some crazy fast stuff on Winni back in the day!

Mario you are right. As I said it was a stretch but if you can convert a Mag to Arneson drives you most likely can redo many other things like remove the bow rail. Jim who has my old Mirage change many thing out, [bow rail , hatches ect] you would never know it was the same boat. Look at my old race Mag pic's when it was new & the way I had it than how it last looked in 1990. It's had many changes & looks over the years. I have looked for it for many years, NO LUCK.
