Thanks for the Tips Lee I will be sure to pass them on to the relevent authorities. When do you want him back ?? or have he been expelled from the US for good this time ?

That all depends on if the Germans let him go...........they might keep him locked up in their super secret R&D lab.
On another note, is this the Sidewinder in a previous life?

Very well done, yes it is.

The two guy`s John and Craig, who carried out the first major refit back in the early 90`s did a great job. The next owner also did a great job, spending many years trying to reverse the process the first two guys had achieved !!! There's no accounting for taste

Mark, Thanks for sharing all the pictures!!........Sidewinder looks pretty formidable as the pace boat. She looks pretty tame until the hatch is raised!...what's her power?

Jeff flying home today from the race in Cowes he ran the Mag back to Pool England for Ian so I'm sure he will have all the info on this cool Mag to share with us. I meet Ian in Key West last year I believe he told me about his engines but there might have been alcohol involved ???? He sure knows how to bling a Mag out.

I will leave it to Jeff Hall to provide the detail of his trip when he returns as he may just have been trying to be polite to me saying "That was the best Magnum Ride I have ever had" being a 27 Sport in open water.
The new engines are Dart/Bontoft 383ci, which are making far more power than we would have hoped for..
Does anyone want to see any more pictures of the finish product, or have I already over done it for one boat ?

More pics and details! You have set the bar very high!
What are you making for power from the 383s? Torque?
