It looks the elusive Magnum Marauder . . . but is it actually a Marauder or is the "Zebra" a splash of the Marauder???? :confused:

I think it must be a Magnum, because I spoke to Allen Brown about them and he said "No one would copy that boat." When I asked him if they were any good he said they were the "Cream of the crap."
I like mine, it's a blast! But at around 55 she gets very light and wants to "walk".

Ravco/Radco copied Magnum Marine's small boats and renamed them; the missle became the "magnum" and the marauder became the "zebra".

These show up more often than the real magnums and the molds have changed hands and have been re-named from time to time but they are seldom titled as magnum marine. If you find one that is titled as Magnum a title history search will usually flush out the fakes.
