Default Aero Lancer 27'

This Aero Lancer is on ebay now, I would think twice on this one. I believe it is the old Kwixotic. It's been been rehabbed with Alpha drives, but when last seen in the field on the Marine City Hwy it needed all the wood replaced. It sounds like that was not done. This hull was a topic here on OSO a few years ago.

Here the ebay ad.

Pre alpha drives? Who would use those? Looks like 4x4's were used for the engine mount base.

No doubt there are many sitting around preferably as flower pots if not restored correctly.
I believe this one was at Tony's boat junk yard on 26 mile rd. Greg I bet this one makes you feel better about having a real Mag..

32 awesome listed in oso classifieds. Yes it does make me feel better having been mislead once. Fixed the bravo concerns with the cigarette, picked up some imco drives locally. Old girl should smoke now.

Too bad about the condition, its a good looking copy of a sport. Never saw the Aero logo before. Mark, how many of these were made, would you guess?

Klem made around 35 of this Magnum copy, he then change the deck for a larger cabin. Klem called them the 288 and made many of them, how many ???
Klem had many different names with that logo. The Logo names started out as Marine Dynamic, Lancer, Aero, & I believe some with Predator. He later change the company name to Awesome when he made a copies of the SHADOW & CHRIS cats.
