Looking back at the shots in post #30, I didn't realize Tommy Adams operated out of Ft. Apache. Is this correct? The story goes he took a Magnum 27 plug and made the hull of what would become the Midnight Express 32 super sport. Goode bought it after Tommy was killed, had a deck designed, and built 10-12 according to him. Interested in this history because I am restoring a ME 32'ss converted to outboards.
I would also love to know who the guy in the blue collared shirt is in the Magnum shot, I've talked with Harold at Magnum but he doesn't know anyone who was there in 79' with any direct knowledge of my boat build. Its a really arcane detail but my boat has 5 gas tanks which no one remembers building (even Mrs.Theodoli) and they all have original FMT tags from 1978. There were 2 boats used in the 79' catalog shots and none of the pictures show the 5 fuel fills my boat has.

What is that all red version of the Dealer? . Looks like a Top Gun. I remember seeing the all white 38 Flat deck Dealer about 1987 That all red looks sharp .

I do not know who was on your boat when we took the photos, sorry.
After leaving Magnum we went down the road to see if we could get into Cigarette. No one was available to take us on a tour around Cigarette but the guys at Signature were very accomodating, not sure if it was Tommy himself that took us around but who ever it was, they also took us around parts of the Cigarette factory and sorted us out with loads of Cigarette apparel, which was very cool!
My understanding of the Signature is that the hull was taken from a Magnum 27 sport and a new deck was put on it........as you have seen in my previous post, the 38 was there as well at the back of the unit where Signature were working from.
