L.S.C. Magnums

[h2oMag]

Here are some spy shots of a new 1977 Magnum to Lake St Clair. More pic's and info to come. :26:

[h2oMag]

This 1975 Mag will be making a comeback on LSC this summer. She started life as the P-14 ANACONDA, and when she's done will be a reborn ANACONDA. Sparky at Vicious Marine did the hull restoration and paint, and it looks great. Here are some before pic's.

[h2oMag]

And here are a few of the after pic's just out of the paint shop.

Rob should be pretty happy with the outcome.

Rob should be pretty happy with the outcome.

Rob is doing it right, should be a great ride when he is done. Also he took his Apache cat engines to Katech for a serious rebuild !!!!!:sifone: Chris here is one of ANACONDA in the back of Fisher bay, when Joe had her back in the day.

[MattBMiller]

Sweet boats! Is that a Miami Vice Scarab in the one pic? Haven't seen that on LSC.

Yes it is a Vice Scarab, it over at Sparky's [Vicious Marine] shop for a make over.

That was her. I also have seen the brown & white ENTICER Mag out running, this one is bone stock also.

[olredalert]

-------There was a red 27 at Crocketts today. Had the name "Lipstick". Had TRS drives and big boxes on the hatches. Very nice!!!!:drool5::drool5::drool5: Anybody know how its powered??? Where does the boat hang???.........Bill S

[h2oMag]

Did it look like this one.:sifone:

------Similar but two boxes directly above the carbs as well. Oh,,,And the one at Crocketts was red.........Bill S

This orange Mag is not a bad boat, but there are some problems, like the bottom has blisters & she sank two years ago..

[MikeyFIN]

That´s what I thought too when I saw the pics of it and heard it´s coming over.
Oh well just redo the bottom then with Epoxy at least.

You know you have had a bad day :willy_nilly: of boating when this happens.:ack2:

That brings a tear to the eye.
Fortunately you posted photos of it after it was refurbed.
Such incredible looking boats.

Our 32' Skater [Eastern Express] never won a race till we sank her.:( Than she became a winner.. :sifone:

Sometimes you just have to show a machine who's the boss! :sifone:

In all seriousness... the 27 Mag has to be one of the all time best looking boats ever. Nothing says "offshore" to me like the lines of a 27 Mag.

[Smarty]

How much are they asking for those two? They look great in those pictures. I miss my father's 27' Sport, that was a fun boat.

The white one that you posted the link for is my old boat that i sold him last year... Now has a pair of 400's SB in it now, just seen it the other day and the rest of it is the same as when he got it from me Most of the pic's he has posted on his site are when i had it.

Who said they seen the lipstick i know the boat and its back in these parts. any pic when you say it

[phragle]

I saw a clean white/red one one aflatbed heading south on 75 friday......

[Len S]

Did it look like this one.:sifone:

The boats been under before and also again has big blocks in it..

This very nice Mag is going south for the winter. The Dock Box at Emerald City Harbor just did some work on her.

[olredalert]

------Len,,,Saw Lipstick at Crocketts. Dont know if its still there or not. No pics.......Mr.Bill

[Jeppe]

Well, the orange one didn't really go for 32K. It was actually just under 30.

I would know, as I just brought her over to Sweden! :D We are actually taking the first testrun today and then we are putting her inside over the winter so we can fix some of her issues.

By the way, this is my first post here, thank you for a great forum!

[MikeyFIN]

Jeppe is boating as we speak !!!

[DAREDEVIL]

Jeppe,,,,welcome and have fun with the boat.
Stay away from MIKA ,,he is crazy ...HAHAHA:rofl:

Jeppe Might wanna fill in the story of the day unless he wants help?

[Jeppe]

After some trailer issues, there are some differences in standards between the US and Europe:), we got her in to the water and started her up. She started easily and ran and sounded great. The oil pressure on the starboard engine was a bit high though, 75 psi at 1200 rpm, and now it seems we have blown a gasket on the oil filter. :confused:
At least we hope thats what happened, she suddenly lost oil pressure so I shut her down and when I looked under the engine there was oil spray on the bilge and the oil was pouring out. :(

I'll inspect the damage closer tomorrow to try and find out what happened.

Anyway, winter is coming closer and I will have plenty of time to have her in top shape by spring! :)

Cool and not so cool ( on the oil problem ) !!!!!!

Let Mika know ,,he is willing to help ,I bet !!
Good luck with the boat.:USA:

[2112]

I just have to say the proportions on the 27' Magnums are perfect.

One of the best looking boats of all time. No wonder it was the basis of so many boats to come in the future.

The Orange boat is beautiful. :drool5:

I have to agree.
The 27 Mag is one of the most Iconic boats in offshore history.
The only other boat that I think is as well designed is the 35 Mistress.
(Oh, and my 24x7 Pantera)...:sifone:

Just classic boat designs, and also performers.

Such a great looking boat Jeppe!!
Good luck, and hope it's a simple fix on the oil PSI thing.
Look forward to seeing more pics, and what you have in store for her.

And welcome to SeriousOffshore!

[h2oMag]

[At least we hope thats what happened, she suddenly lost oil pressure so I shut her down and when I looked under the engine there was oil spray on the bilge and the oil was pouring out]

When I looked at her they said the oil was just changed. Maybe thats where the oil I saw in the bildge :confused: came from. Hopefully it's a easy fix.

[Buoy]

I agree,,,but i would not let out my Aero-Tek...LOL...from the list !!!:sifone:

Let the rumors fly, but the last I heard, the 24x7 hull design was based, pulled, spashed, completely redesigned or whatever the hell else...
And the Mistress was also a birth-child of the 27 Magnum.
As much with classic Offshore's, and the "real" history of these boats (including those that were "working boats in the 80's") we'll never know the truth.

All are Iconic boats, and just to own one of them is a privilege to me.

Not let me not paint devils on your Wall ( heheeehhh) but if the oil pressure suddenly goes way up you´re losing a bearing in worst case.
Hopefully this time it´s something else.
And Jeppe sure has good help closer.
There´s a lot of knowable mechanics around Stockholm... and I mean A LOT.
Mange Surely will assist.

We´re all related also as childs of Adam and Eve....or so does it say in the big book...

[MikeyFIN]

Cool and not so cool ( on the oil problem ) !!!!!!

Anyway I can. I love the low hull on the Magnum gives it soo good proportions while running also.
Just defines a powerboat right there.

[Buoy]

We´re all related also as childs of Adam and Eve....or so does it say in the big book...

I'd love to get a copy of that book, just to figure out where everything actually came from.
But, I have a feeling that if there were such a book, it would be just as confusing to me. And the accuracy would still be up for debate.
In the big book, well, lets not bring religion into this - other people may be watching, but I have my faith.
Yes, we are all related, just because we have a love for these old resin buckets (no offense to anyone).
Love mine, and I won't let go of her until the day I die. I know it's not considered much in most peoples eyes, but it's what I've always wanted.

Thank you Buoy!

I fully agree about the 35 Mistress, when I have finished the Mag the next project will definitely be a Mistress. :drool5:

After some diving between the engines it seems the oil problem is coming from the filter. The area is covered in oil and I can only turn the filter a quarter turn and the it is dead stop. I need to get a stronger filter wrench to get it off, the one I have now only slips on the filter. This could indicate a problem with the filter.

This winter all the deck fittings will be taken off and polished or recromed and then the deck will get a well deserved restoration. There are some cracks and she is quite dull in places but nothing that can't be fixed. I will also replace the ugly plastic morse controls with the original Mercontrols and replace the steering wheel, dashboard and gauges. These are all simple things to quickly get her up to shape.

The long term plan is to keep/restore her to as much original state as possible, exept for power, I don't mind 800 hp over the original 560. I also hope we can get her to 80 without replacing the engines.

Right after I was born, a Co-worker asked my Dad if I was a "cesarean" baby.
He replied "no, he's pa-pollack".:rofl:

[Jeppe]

After finally getting the filter off and removing the oil cooler sandwich adapter it turned out that the filter holder adapter had cracked. Two new billet adapters have now been ordered and will be installed this week.

By the way does anyone now what brand my sandwich adapter is? I can't find anything on it.

[h2oMag]

Well I picked up a 24' Donzi Doral thinking it would be a great doner parts boat for the Magnum , worng !!! This Donzi is just to cool to gut, so I now have 3 offshores in restoration. [24' twin engine Cobra, Magnum Sedan, Donzi Doral] :willy_nilly: This Donzi most likley is the only Doral to have raced back in the 70's in the P class. She was called HEAT WAVE P-300 everything is there just needs the engines rebuilt, & a good clean up. Good thing my 29' Mirage dose not need any work done, at least it will be in the water this year.:driving:
