Several of my friends owned them. It didn't matter if you were an experienced driver or not. The hull over reacts to wind and water conditions without warning. The boat runs nose high in order to get performance. It is too short a hull for the hull design. |

As posted above, these are cool boats but I've heard they are pretty finicky when it comes to staying right side up. I'd get as much weight out of the ass end as I could and keep it under 80. Here's a cool Magnum for sale (same boat) http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicle ... Z462808437 |
