    Bonjour, je suis français et voici mon magnum starfire de 1978 n° 273770378.
    Il a deux moteurs Marine Power V8 502 et embases mercruiser Bravo.
    Il est à SAINT TROPEZ, son nom est "PYTHON".
    Je suis un passionné de ce bateau mythique.
    C'est un des deux seuls exemplaires en france.
    Merci à Bud pour ses autocollants.
    Je suis toujours à la recherche de pièces d'occasion en bon état.
    Merci.
    Cordialement, Olivier.

    Bonjour Olivier,
    J'aime "PYTHON." J'ai un 8,5 mètre apache. Excusez mon mauvais français. Est-ce que vous dites qu'il y a juste deux exemples en france?
    Merveilleux bateau. Merci pour le partage.
    Ce qui concerne et bienvenue.

    Vive la difference entre L'Apache et Le Magnum!

    Bonjour Fund Razor, merci pour vos compliments.
    Je ne parle pas bien anglais, mais je le comprends.
    Ce Magnum doit être un des deux seuls exemplaires qui existent encore en France. L'autre est à Grimaud, c'est un Starfire avec 2 moteurs BPM.
    J'aime ce bateau qui est un des plus beau jamais dessiné. Il a 36 ans et est toujours en trés bon état.
    Il ne navigue que 1 mois dans l'année, le reste du temps il est dans un hangar.
    J'ai acheté ce bateau après avoir cherché longtemps.
    Lorsque j'étais petit, mon oncle avait un 27 sport jaune. J'ai depuis toujours voulu en avoir un...
    Il navigue à ST TROPEZ où il y a beaucoup de vagues l'été... et ce bateau est stable, rapide et trés efficace. Il coupe la mer mieux qu'une cigarette...
    Bravo pour l'Apache qui est redoutable.
    Je voulais vous dire également qu'en France, il n'y a plus d'offshore. A ST TROPEZ encore quelques un...
    La mode est aux gros bateaux comme les Mangusta.
    Quel dommage !
    Merci à vous encore
    Olivier

    (Je vais essayer de traduire)

    So, Olivier has one of just a couple of these in France. His uncle had a yellow 27. He used to go to St. Tropez with it. He "cut the sea" better than with a Cigarette.

    Olivier's is 36 years old and like new. He is out 1 month of the year, and 11 months it is stored. It is stable, fast and efficient. He congratulates me on the Apache, which he says is daunting.
    He also says that there is basically no more offshore in France. There is a little in St. Tropez still. The style is to go with larger boats. He says it's a pity.

    I know no French, so I'm 100% counting on you. That area of France looks pretty cool on the map with the satellite view. Couple of islands offshore, wonder if they are like the islands in Lake Erie?

    I wonder if they get into the same kind of trouble as what happens in the bars?
