Barn find
A friend asked if i wanted an old race boat with a mercury that was in a barn for 20 years.
It was only 30 miles away so i said hell yes.
When we got there he forgot to say out behind the barn!!!!!
Anyway it looks like a Magnum Missile
It has a 1400 long shaft in pieces
It is 16 ft 6 inches and has the insets for the wood inserts any way to tell if its Missile or a copy.
The paper work says custom built im guessing that means a lost title at some time
Its been repainted was a copper metal flake
Anyway dont need it but couldnt leave it out in the weather.

The deck inserts certainly do make it appear to be an original Magunm

A few days work to build originally. Months of much more difficult labor to restore. Boats, cars, it is always the same.
