    I've been able to find a few pics, probably Jeremy's, but no trace of the boat. If it has not been modified except for the name being removed, it should be easy to find by description. Take note of the bowrail, if it's still on I've never seen another Magnum with anything like it. Also the drives are unique as he says.

    Here is that conversation from OSO about a Sternpowr Mag that Jmemoli had, it may be it??? [ I believe it was Gary munds boat , an early partner of Roger munn.
    It was a red sport , purchased from Kurtz marine . ]

    Thank you for sending it . Roger wasn't mentioned in the post he told me about he said he stumbled upon a post about a guy having trouble repainting his magnum due to the old name bleeding through roger recognized the boat right away as my fathers and called me but I haven't been able to find this post

    During digging, one time you had the boat described as a 1973 with TRS and speedmaster lowers, and now a 1971 with MSD and speedmaster lowers. I don't think the drives are as important as the year, as that is one of the search criteria I'm using along with others. Are you positive what year it was?

    Man, you've been looking for a long time.

    Thanks, I'll keep digging.

    Didn't Roger have an engine shop in Naples? Is it still there to call him?

    In today's internet world you would think you could find a Magnum that is that unique, but for the last 10 years I to have been looking for my old race Mag with no luck. Hopefully they are in a barn some ware waiting to be found & not hacked into a center console as what has happened to many old Magnums..
