Well the project is now on hold. I have been looking around to find Someone that know how to replace the stringers,floor and kick board in the Magnum. I have found two guy's that most of the racers use when they need glass work. Both of them are AZ.  one in Phoenix and one in Havasu City. the prices range from $5,500.00 to $6,000.00.

At first the plan was that I was going to replace the floor which is the easy part. But when I found out that it needed  stringers that is something that I don't think I can do.One reason way is first you have to cut the deck off and strip off all the glass from the floor and stringers. remove the plywood  and stringers. All of this is not the problem it is getting it back together with out warping. The stringers have to be in perfectly  and the hull straight. If this is not done correctly it will not ever handle and I will end up with something that I can not use.

 

Now the Question that I am facing is do I what to spend this kind of money on an older boat which when it is all done and let's say a few years down the road I want to sale it, I will never come close to what I  will have in it.  ........................Or should I just scrap the boat and sale the trailer and buy a newer one that is just a hull and all I need is to drop my motor in it and I will be racing.

 

 

This Bezer is up for sale and it is only $4.500.00
