Magnum 29'9
Charlie we have the 1973 Magnum 29'9 single engine 482, APBA 1977 Champion. It was run under Thumper Two 1973-1976 by Jim Armington and The Head Hunter 1977-1978 by Vaughn Szarka.Currently it is at Roger Munns shop in Naples waiting for some free time so he can look it over and most likely start the rebuild. Have pictures when it race as Thumper Two from Jim and current pictures. Bud

Cinzano which was restored last year just won the Cowes-Torquay-Cowes a few hours ago.
Bounty Hunter sadly didn't make it to the start line as it blew an engine on the way to the race.

Dave....I wasn't sure if you had the boat yet or were just doing some research on what you thought was Man O War.
If you have it, that's great....now what happens to Inferno?

The red boat is Bob Nordskog's Formula. It is sitting in a field in Indiana or Illinois waiting too.
