Here is one of the pictures I took today outside of my shop building - I will post more pictures of the interior later. It looks great in the shop with the 1971 18' 2+3! Sort of a father/son picture - lol. Bill

I'm excited Bill......is that original gel?
1974 Magnum 27 Sport
1970 Donzi 18 2+3
No, Aaron, it looks like it was originally a light greenish color, but I will try to find out tomorrow for sure. This color was painted on at some point. I have tons of things I will be doing on it, and I will start a thread when I really get going. I did see the two large fuel tanks with built in gauges instead of sending units - was that typical?
Also a friend of mine here told me today that he looked at a copy cat boat over the weekend that will be auctioned off - he said it was an Aero which I believe you knew this one was not. What is the story on the Aero? Any good? Bill
Bill this is awesome! By the way, what is that other hull in your shop?
1988 Minx / Testarossa edition
1965/6 Ski Sporter 351W/Eaton (doesn't run)
Yep....the tanks with built in gauges are original.....
Aero built a near copy of a 27 Sport but there are enough detail differences that I can tell them apart.
Your boat, if the dash is original, is about a '73 or later.....take a look under the dash for the hull #......I'm sure if the transom had one, it's been covered up.
My boat is hull #301 built 06/74......the hull numbers included all 27 Magnums. Sports, Sedans, Starfires and the later center consoles.

was this boat originally a single engine TRS boat?
No, this one originally had twins - Volvos from what the seller told me, but they were removed before he even bought it. The seller was planning on a single drive, but he realized how much work was necessary so he sold it. He did pay $3000 to have the transom replaced and a couple water pickup holes in the bottom filled. Bill
I'm not sure on the quality?......there is a 28 Aero on Ebay, is that the one?
Here's the 27 Sport copy made by Aero......the boat on the right looks like the one on Ebay.

More Aeros......lots were singles and most had Stern Powr drives.
Magnum made very few single engine 27 Sports.....all the one's I've seen were built as race boats.
