----Short Circuit is finally coming home!!! Bought new at Emerald City Marine in 1976 and raced out of Algonac for 30 years, it just seemed right that this 27 Sport comes back to the Lake Saint Clair area. No racing anymore as she has proven herself many, many times over already, but hopefully theres a lot of fun left!!!. Pictures to follow, or just Google "Short Circuit Magnum"..........Bill S

This is Bill's latest addition to his fleet of Thunder Boat Row boats, SHORT CIRCUIT. I believe this Magnum has more real offshore racing miles & wins than any Magnum that has ever raced. It's gone through many powertrain changes over the years racing from 1976 to 2006 but still can run with the best of today's latest creations . Here are few pic's from it's new & old home here in Michigan...


Here is the web site for Short Circuit.

It makes so much sense for SC to be back on LSC...............Congratulations Bill !!!...........I'm curious what number hull is SC?
Was she custom built for racing -or- was she a regular stock 27 when she left TBR? .............'76 was the Apeco years right?

Pete Short Circuit was hull # 27-333 & one of the last Magnums that Emerald City sold. It was a special order by Russ Zablocki [in the time of the faster Trs 280Merc package were the norm ] with pair of Crusader 305cu 220hp engines to race in a APBA production class. Most of the boats in this class were 250 Wellcraft Novas running twin 302cu Ford engines, this Magnum cleaned house. Other than the powertrain package this Mag was a stock boat. Mark

Well the way i see it you dont have any room in the stabill for a green outboard and i have room so i feel its time for a blow out sale, by my accounting we now have 5 magnums in a 20 mile circle enough for our own club and events im thinking of a club name ...hmmmmm , lake st clair offshore racing asoc. lscora for shot, who's with me?, rules 1- small blocks, 2 cheep trophy's, 3 prize money, we kick in 500 each race winner take all, 4 course bar to bar, safety and coast guard we run it like a rave party
