1968 16' Magnum Missile - Project Hull & Trailer
Anyone in the market for a Magnum Missile 16' tunnel hull project? I have an original 1968 production date hull on a steel trailer, needs full restoration.
Hull and deck seem very solid, transom is questionable, and would definitely need to be redone to handle big power, which is what most people are doing regardless. Trailer is decent, rolls down the road straight with decent tires. Just a good, solid, deadly original foundation to build from.
Located in South Florida. Asking $2250 or best reasonable offer. Title in hand for the boat, and notarized bill of sale for the trailer. Not desperate to sell it by any means, just throwing it out there if someone wants it before I start throwing money at it! I'd love to see someone properly restore it as original with an inline-six 1250 Mercury.
Email me if you're interested and I'll forward the pics.

Sold or?
I had one back in 71-74 with a Merc 135 on it.
It would do 70 mph and I could have a beer on the floor going through 6-8" chop. Pull 3-4 gs on a turn.
It was the most responsive Boat I have ever owned.
It was raced by Stan Coburn in 1969 COBRA Races and Placed 2nd over all in SoCal.
So is it still around?
