Who ever buy's this Mag if YOU can't do all the work needed to restore it .You will spend $$$$, my sport that I restored came in just under 20k & I did it all myself but the interior. And that was attainable because thanks to iron head for giving me a set of engines that I had built years ago for a catamaran project we had. This is why Short Circuit Mag was such a deal.

When I got a call from the broker planning on purchasing the boat, I told him no more that $5,000. On top of that needed to GET A CURRENT SURVEY BECAUSE IT SUNK AY ONE TIME, TOP LINE iS It would most likley require $40-50,000 ADDITIONAL FUNDS To get it back in the water again. Bud

Talked to the new owner of this Mag & it's coming back to Lake St Clair area. He knows Magnums as he owned the former Super Screw, than Trust Me Sport.

Cool looking old sport, did someone buy it yet?
Bud is probably close in my book on the resto cost, depends how far you go. I bet the transom is no good after that trs conversion and the deck probably has water in it too around fittings etc. I spent at least 15k on fiberglass and paint on mine. If the gel cote is ok and you leave the TRS's you could do it for 20-25k maybe but if you go all the way its at least 50-60k in my book.
Mark - you can't think that that boat is a Mag. Never mind the deck and the drop down towards the bow, look at the size of the lifting strake, totally different imo.
