Pete it's winter and I way to much free time. I tried to work on the sedan but with -15 degree temps outside here in Michigan not much was done. I don't know how Jeff the ice man from Minnesota works on his Mag up there in the winter, ?????????

Perhaps "The Sea Giraffe" is not of human origin as we have suspected and therefore has no physical feelings !!

Mark doing anything in this sub zero weather (other than doing it in a heated shop) let alone wrenching on the Mag outside is a proper moniker for the "ice man from Minnesota"

$2K is what I paid for the two 280 drives for my own Magnum 27. After that I spent another $3500 to have both of them completely rebuilt be able to take 550 hp each. This boat here does not have Volvo drives and my comments were mostly intended to be an outline for someone contemplating the rebuild of this boat.
And the reality of it is if someone has the time, the investment into this boat this level makes no financial sense, it has to be purely for the personal desire own a unique Magnum.

My 27' Sedan I'm rebuilding now was in the advertised price range this Maltese was priced at.. With me doing 95% of all the work my self & finding all the parts needed in my garage & on ebay & craigslist I will have around 16k in this one when done. But once you have to ad paid labor to your restoration ad a least 10k to the price, and lots of aggravation waiting to get the work done. My biggest expense is getting a new interior, Mario your interior price is right on target, as that is something I cant do myself yet.
