Default 31 ft Magnum

As some of you know I located a 31 ft Spirit designed and raced by Roger Munn to great success.Roger who won more races in his Magnum set out to design a stretched Magnum without the inherent problems of the 27/28,who better qualified. Nine units were built and four have been located. My Spirit was built in 1994 and has never been in the water.I purchased the Spirit in 2007 and have worked on it since,and will splash in in 2103.We have rebuilt the 454's @11-1compression producing around 500 hp each,Bravo Drives,IMCO steering, fiberglass and trailer repair,all new guages and wiring.We still have some other items to do but will do that next year while we are enjoying the boat.

Attached are some original and recent photos and the potential vinyl design. Bud

Default Stepped hull

The 9th built had a stepped hull however never completed...sits in a field abandoned.Also photo of # 10 which was built by the person who bought the molds.He said it was the best CC he ever owned.
I have additional photos of the stepped one,just need to find it...it also had a newer design for the deck. Bud

That's a pretty long time to wait until splash. Hopefully you meant 2013
