that one is in Costa Blance, but if you want I have a friend selling a 40 for much cheaper

Stormrider

liam, we sold the boat in 1980, i was 10 then.
the boat ran 23-25kts.
great rough water boat, but rocked alot while drift fishing(expected w/ deep-v), and in a beam sea would sometimes ride hard to one side of the v.
Best part of the boat was going to the magnum plant(and cig) from 1976-1980s.

Thanks Liam,

I was just curious. I'm headed to Vigo in a few weeks.
How's Malta this time of year?
I will most likely be in Italy around March.

stormrider, may be the fly had an affect on this, as I think that hull was primary designed as for an open also

Hallj Malta is ok but not the best times to be, if you come just contact me here or check further details around, we can meet for sure

I'm going to scan some more pictures from the brochures in a few days. Liam, you prefer open boats but I'm sure you like this one too:

nice looks like a 70, sleek sports flybridge
I saw a nice blue hulled one open version in Italy, South Rome coast in San Felice Circeo, next to it there was also a 53 Maltese berthed with straight shafts, the 70 had Surface Drives
while Magnum was created by Don Aronow and has some credit to him, I think the transformation of this brand to something unique was all the capability of Mr.Theodoli, but also the owners before him did a nice job with the 35 and 38...

HIGH LIFE

I got to know C. Everett Sutton well,MAGNUM G.M. He informed my that I had purchased the last 35' made, found it in upstate N.Y. in 1995. He told me they never produced a diesel 35'. Theodoli bought MAGNUM in app. 1976 with the intent of buidling larger yachts. My boat had 400hp Cyclones w/v-drives, cruised @ 30-32, best top speed was 39.7 gps. The only reason I sold it in 2000 was I broke down twice (motor problems) and could not get a 4-pad 25,000 lb. trailer to pick me up ( 12'3" beam) on week-ends, 27' MAGNUM w/trailer suits me just fine!!! Many times guests would comment on how smooth boat run in any sea condition. One memorable trip came out of Cape Cod canal heading up coast to Boston, in 5'-7' seas w/wind straight on app. 30 knots,had wipers on the whole way, didn't spill a drop out of my drink ever!!!
