Did it have a name on it ?

Name was EH!, didn't your hear? :sifone:

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.

I am having a really tough time even finding a slight path to locate this boat.:banghead:

Yes it's been very hard over the last couple years the only info I got was when roger munn called me and told me he saw the boat on either this site or offshore only the current owner didnt know the drives were mds's thought they were number 3s and had a problem with the old name EH bleeding through the paint I guess he was having it repainted that was last year .my dad brought the boat from Florida to nj in 71 then in 85 he sold it and it went to new hempshire was at a fountain dealer for years till about ten years ago the dealer closed and it disappear till I got that call from roger last year but I've been unable to locate that post or the current owner

 

[Ratickle]

Have you talked with Roger recently?

 

[Magnum_EH!]

Last time I think we heard from him was December, that was the latest lead that went no where.

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 . ]

Gary's magnum was originally commotion steve Berks boat it's in one of my pictures on OSO it was blue after Gary sold it it was painted red not my fathers boat EH. Roger,Gary , and Steve all hung out with my father a guy named Roy who had a magnum sedan "dicator" was the first to go bbc troupe cling built the motors then my father and roger did a year later in 75 but also converted to mds drives then in 76 Steve's boat went bbc and my father and roger put speed master lowers on then in 77 my father went to a 1/3 ratio

 

[h2oMag]

It was a long shot , as that was the only post I could find were Roger Munn was mentioned in.

 

[fender_mender]

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.

 

[fender_mender]

Definately a 71 with mds's with speed master lowers and yea it's been a long search what's crazy is that the boat from 87 to 04 was at the same fountain dealer in new hempshire then disappeared

 

[Ratickle]

Thanks, I'll keep digging.

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

 

[h2oMag]

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..

 

[Ratickle]

Well, as long as I'm looking for his, what one are you looking for?
