Info on Hot Nuts
Hello Magnum lovers
Thank you for a great forum for Magnum fans.
I'm considering bringing a 27 sport over to Europe and like the 3 man setup of Hot Nuts thats in the classifieds. I've read some about its early days here in the forum but has anyone seen it lately? What's the shape, is it a good buy?
The seller claims it's in great shape but it's hard to see from the pictures.
Thanks,
Jeppe

I have not seen her since the early 80's when she was a race boat. I did have her out and she did like to porpoise, because she had a rocker bottom. The ad said that the transom was rebuilt but ?????? Any Mag this old that has raced like this one would need lots of love.

Back in the Day the race team ground the hook out of the hull for more speed. Many did this back in the 80's, some took off to much. You can put more tab in the water but that slows you down. If you have seen any of the video tapes from back then you can see her always bouncing. But anything can be repaired and it may have ??

h2o,are you saying all the Mags came with a hook or just some of them?I know Vixen has no hook an never did.I removed all the gell coat off her bottom an would have seen if anyone had been grinding on it.After our incident in Sarr.in 01 I put larger tabs on her an if I run with them at level with the bottom she will porpoise a little when you get on it,but the second you pull them up it lets the nose come up and she ru n great again.I do agree tabs do act like speed brakes but some times its a lot safer to use them.Not being a smart ass,just that Vixen is the only Mag I ever had anything to do with and am always open to more info. on other ones.Being from Mich. I'm sure you know more about Magnums then most guys on here.

HOTT NUTZ happens to belong to a very good friend of mine. Over the last 2 years the boat has been completely gone thru by the owner and a mechanic named Danny...Danny been wrenching on boats for some time and currently is at Kurts Marine in Bricktown NJ. He has worked as a rigger at Fountain, he worked for Joe Sgro's race team as well as a few others and currently races a cat named BANDIT RACING. I've ran HOTT NUTZ in Barnegat BAy and the boat runs and rides awesome with no hop...

JeppeU , the boat is in great shape we have just put new transome assemblys in her , we have only had it about 1 year and a half, upon replacing the assemblys we found some issues with the transome wood so we had the whole transome replaced by a very reputable fiberglass man. we had all the chrome work redone ,engines are stock 350 375 late model small blocks with stainless marine exhaust. most of the rigging is still original, but in good shape. if you have any questions you can call me 609 994 4034
