I was told that "Runaway's" deck came from Activator.

But I'm trying to visualize how they got those slings past the trailer bunks. I've never seen that done, with the lifting eyes now used.

Hello All! I just got off the phone with my father-in-law, and he used to build engines for the Jesse James boat before Mark Lavin was killed tragically. I will try to dig up some of his pictures of the boat and stuff! Also, very nice thread. I can't get enough of the old history lesson's. My favorites are the old cig's. Thanks!

Scott, Thanks for that info! In Sweden we have a long n complicated relation to Magnum's ever since Mr Aronow was here racing late 60'.Maybe thats the reson why a Swede owns
"Runaway" today.
My raceboat is also a relative to the Mag 27...
Please try to figure what decks on this boat.

BRC, PM me a reminder I'll check Raway owners email n phn

Thanks,
Mange
