    Sounds like a trailer full of parts that may, or may not work.
    Pics look old, not current.
    Not a DEAL, but, may not be bad.
    And, if you're "in love" with it, could be a very nice piece.
    A lot of work, and at least 20k more to complete. Maybe more.

    This Mag belonged to WOZ58 on OSO, he bought this Mag after I bought his 29' Mirage. I was very happy with that transaction. Woz only had it for only about 1 year, and never really talked about it, I only saw it on Lake St Clair once. I know woz likes Magnums as he now has a real Mag center console. All I know about this Mag is it had some mech problems as over the years the latest owner was looking for parts for it on cragslist. It looked good when it was all together but buying it in a basket ?????
    These links works.

    Consensus seems to be that $17,000 is too high for what is there and the current condition?
