Sweet looking Magnum on ebay! I'm always amazed when someone is selling a performance boat (he states 80+mph) and they don't show the engines? Ford stroker small blocks with Volvo drives, nice boat!

looks like salt is working it's magic on chrome & cables on transom... cool boat

Cool boat but that helm looks like crap with the yellow rings and steering wheel.

Just like the speed 80+ the seller exaggerates even in his statement [ Boat has huge new trim tabs,] These Lenco trim tabs, HUGE ???????

Right! I have the same tabs on mine, they are bigger than small bennets but not huge, it looks like someone may have cut his down? I like the lenco's cheap easy to install and they seem to work great, though I have my boat on a rack, not sure they would work so well if left in the water full time, they are electric!

The transom of your 24' hull looks a lot like my 24' 1975 Cobra??

Right well mine is also a 1975 24' cobra, but with single big-block TRS!

I know the boat,was re-done in Miami. Retro has all original engines and drives ,nice paint job...can try to find the name of the restorer when we get back home .Had it with a broker for a while and spoke with him, for some reason they could not sell it .Know the owner put in over $60,000 and he is selling it because it is difficult to get in and out. No need for him to sell it. Would be a nice buy if brought at the right price, unable to reach speeds they claim.Call me if you want to talk further. Bud 312-607-3115....please no tire kickers.

Hey Bud, the man has over $60,000 invested in the re-build. You have no idea how good that makes me feel and for that he still has the original engines and drives !!

Now imagine two NEW engines and Bravo 1 drives, new external hydraulic power steering, etc etc etc.

And then the market tells you all your efforts and all your cash is now only worth $20/30,000 all up.

You have just got to love classic boat restoration, it all makes so much sense !!!!

But I am glad I am not alone in this mad space.
