    Rescued Mag sports

    It is complete!...............The last of the 2 Mag sports that had been sitting in chadwick isl. marina (Jersey) for the past several years has been loaded on a trailer and is now in tow back to Mich. Parnell left early this morning after spending the nite at my house to complete this marathon of a trip. When he arrives back home in Mich. he would have compiled a total of 3200+ miles and 56 hours behind the wheel to rescue 2 Magnum sports in very tired shape, one of them noteably "Plum Crazy" far from her glory days, but will survive once again to crush some waves thanks to Parnell.

    How about the broke, tired dumb ass club? I think I have taken over the presidency. They are home safe and sound and now the hard work begins

    Parnell, you are a glutton!

    Do you have some kind of personal rule that you have to have a couple of projects "in-the-wings" at all times?

    Now that the GT21 is running, I thought you were going to work on the 27 Magnum you already own.

    Apparently you just can't get enough of that fiberglass itch .

    Catch Pics are in the 2 mags one lake thread.

    Bill I'm not sure what I've done but I like having things to consider while I spend hours grinding away I may actually start on this "center counsel" boat first with a few interesting twists and turns I have concocted The blue one is still the primo one of the three but she may sit for a while.

    BTW The 21 is a ways from being done lots of details before an April trip to Florida and then AOTH

    Got her inside and drilled a few holes to drain the pool I had in the boat. From the looks of it she has been a pool for a few years! I have spent the last week getting some new dollies built and the boats off the trailers Clean up starts this weekend but already I can tell there is a few bulkheads coming out. Lots of work ahead on the old Plum Crazy

    Hey Parnell,

    I'm curious what the center stringer does between the two bulkheads that are close together in the 3rd pic. Cant quite see, does it cut down low? Does it look to be in orig. shape?

    Thanks - Marshall

    Marshall It drops down and is in decent shape All three of them have the same style stringer there. The stringers appear to be ok in this boat Almost all the bulkhead have to go and anywhere he cut wood open its rotten. Unfortunately he cut a lot of bulkheads

    Hey Guys
    Any thoughts on how to figure out where to stick the tanks on this thing? I can move them as far back as the front of the rear seat to all the way forward to where the forward tanks go. Any suggestions or thoughts Gonna have twin OB 's
    Thanks

    Hey P,

    I don't think the "main" fuel tank placement should be anywhere but in the factory designated place "foward of first bulkhead cabin area" all other tanks added after this point should be balanced -or- counter-balanced from this position. I don't believe the CG would change because it's a CC now. In fact, more foward placement would counter act the loss of deck above. 2 OB's on a flotation bracket or a tubular Gil bracket I don't think would change a thing concerning "main tank placement" in fact it might be perfect placement considering how stern heavy a sport appears w/ twin in-boards...........just a guess though!

    Best Guess

    Parnell,

    I agree with skippy. I think that since the ob's hang off the back I would start with the standard fuel tank location and depending on the floor height etc. Maby have a center tank in the old eng comp? Mine rides/ jumps real flat, havn't gotten the bow real high yet. Thats with figure~2k lbs of eng/drives. If you have 1000 lbs less, a 75-100 gal tank aft would be 400-500 lbs. I dont know what kind of range you are looking for but 150 to 200 gal would be enough I would think. Maby 2 50gals aft. and 2 50 gals in the standard spot...

    Gas tank location

    Parnell, On my 27 SEDAN I have 2- 50 gal tanks under cockpit floor & 2- 32 gal. tanks behind them, 164 gal total. Have twin 300X motors on a Stainless Marine bracket set back 18"... works perfect. "HIGH LIFE"

    Boat fly level off waves? Not transom heavy? What kind of range does the boat have? Also what did you do about transferring fuel between forawrd and rear tanks? Thanks
    Parnell

    BTW Ever come up with any pics of your boat Looking forward to seeing them particularily the transom bracket

    Do your rear tanks sit all the way back by the transom?
