I has only has taken 11+ years but my sedan Magnum finally made it to the water .
Looks like you have a set of Trimself trim tabs. I had them on a 1968 Sea Ray I had 40 years ago. These tabs did not work very well, you just cant beat a hydraulic set.
Bill you have done a marvelous restoration, :yes: & I like that you have kept the Volvo drive too. Now that you have completed the Donzi restoration I have that 43' Cary that my late brother ...
Here are a few pic's Of Bill's El Pescador @ another boat show in Canada a few years ago..
From your pictures it looks like Donzi did not use any sealer on any of the parts that would be in the water, my Doral had the same lack of sealer & rotten transom. I have a Doral that's transom is...
Aaron the Lil Smidgen Magnum for all the races it has been in looks really good especially the bottom but I would definitely replace all the wood but that's a given. I wish Bill & I had the energy...
Pete I know how you are feeling about selling your Mag as Bill & I are thinking of putting the Lil Smidgen, SPIRIT & Power Hungry Magnum Sport up for sale. I have 2 Magnums, 2 Donzi's & one 24' Cobra...
Pete do you like the tall windshields like the one on my brothers Donzi ? Tall windshields have there place & I'm going with one for my Magnum Sedan that's in restoration now.. Mark
Jeff not much tab use here before you switched to the Arneson rocker tabs......:nilly:
Pete after selling my race Magnum Sport in 1986 that even after I retired it from racing & by putting back seat & engine sun pad I have gone through many boats trying to find the right replacement. I...
I was informed by Ralph's wife Mary last night that Ralph past away September 6. Ralph had a very stressful summer as his beloved Magnum Maltese sank on Lake St Clair with him & Mary on-board, than...
Hope Jeff will chim in but since he added Arneson rocker tabs to his Minx & using a 4 blade Rolla 23 pith prop it's working much better. The pic here does not have the rocker tabs on the Minx yet.
Bill unlike a real Magnum Klem built his Gems with the fuel tank under the cockpit floor, no bow tanks setting the hull from the start a little deeper in the stern. Klem also built most of the boats...
Here is one more pic of this Klem Aero & the real Magnum [ DOUBLE VISION] that Klem made the mold from. Klem copied this timeless Magnum style but unfortunately not it's quality.
Here is a pic of the interior. The dash & the seats give it away as a Klem Gem..
This is NOT A MAGNUM BUT A CLEM GEM Aero or Lancer :boggled: that was for sale in Michigan a few years ago for around 15K. It's rigged with Alpha drives & big block Chevy engines. Depending on the...
Chris for test rides we just need to hang out @ Johns place as he has a very nice & the best boat collection from a 47' Apache, 28' Cig, 27' Mag & 22' Classic Donzi, most of them are here in the...
Call Tom @ Cobe Marine 410/255-9488... And yes you use the Volvo cone nut, they even give you in the kit a new SS socket head bolt for the cone nut..
I Just received my 2 prop adapters from Tom @ Cobe Marine [410/255-9488] today & they are perfect ... We now can use the Mercruiser style props like the Mirage & Bravo & get away from the Solas...
Pete here are few pic's of the Cig that Bill had, another very nice ride..
Pete my friend Ralph bought this Cig a few years ago for around 12K needing a good amount of work. It took 3 years & lots of hard work [ rebuilt engines, drives, some of the interior & good rub & wax...
It's not for sale Murfman [Robert] is restoring it. He did sell some parts off it as I bought the tall windshield for my sedan that I'm also restoring.
I had these drive on two of the 15+ offshore boats I have had & they were strong & worked well. I don't know if they are still in business though. The SSP drives like the ones pictured had a nice...
I knew I had a pic of this 24' Sonic that I believe Bill talked about when it was for sale a few years ago. The blue & white may have been added when they repaired the bullet holes in the sides....
Bert As the day went by it did get better. :yes:
