Yes - did a pretty good job too!
Just don't agree with his / their way of creating their own boats.

A couple more shots, transom view shows single engine shaftline, side fuel tank frames and a fair size bow tank.
Does appear that there were side fittings (now blanked off) maybe exhausts. Kindly marked on by Lee!

Going by the british racing green on the transom in pic 2, there's every chance it's Maltese Magnum II then!

Jon,you are right. Littlenige had seen correct in him post above!
That british racing green could be of the Maltese Magnum Twin of Kennerley.
You also look at the two sides of the great hole on the stern; we can see the two semicircles of the holes of the two old exhausts of the single engine.
Aronow came in Europe in 1967 with two 28'; a white boat with three outboards and a green to the sides and the white deck with a single engine.
With this last boat he raced only two races;the Naples Trophy and the Dauphin D'Or that won,before to sell it to John Kennerley.
With that victory in Cote D'Azur that boat contributed to make to win its first World Title to Aronow.
Someone must save that boat!

Like from what Vintage Offshore Found. affirms exactly I think that Aronow in 1967 drove one or two 28' with three outboard, a 28' with single engine with v-drive,a 28' single engine with stern drive,a 28' with two engines with v-drives and a 28' with two engines and stern drives. Totally 5-6 Maltese Magnum 28'.
However in Europe Aronow brought two 28' and not three; one with three outboard and one with single engine and v-drive and the sides in green. This last was bought by Kennerley.
Then Kennerley added another engine forward the cockpit.

Marco, You are correct,
John Kennerley bought from Don and because the rules required twin engines for the RB69 the second engine was added thru a cassel v drive. The engines ran thru thru the one shaft and the torque/thrust was such that it eat thru the the rudder on every leg and Malatese Magnum eventually retired,
She became M M Twin 'cos of the second engine.
Can some one tell me where she is and will the owners release her for restoration?? Does she still belong to Ian Nurse??

Maltese Magnum 2 / Twin recovered..
Hi everyone,
Just to let you know that Maltese Magnum Twin (for that is who she most certainly is..!) has been bought and re-located to Surrey (yes, I know it's about as far from the sea as you can get... but at least she's safe and we'll be back!!)
My thanks to Tony Fiddy and John Iddon for their help and advise, to Lee for parting with her and Jon for the rapid registration, enabling me to post this...
A big thankyou to Black Tornado: great pictures! If any of you have any more, please can i see them? (I've got Crab Searle's RB69 book, seen Graham's Gallery, but have little else... and i need to construct a complete deck! (i've got the chopped aft end, but no cockpit or forward section)
Your help / advice / encouragement / large amounts of cash would be most welcome!!
Cheers, ian (Pics to follow..)

More MM2 pictures
As you can see, there's a huge amount needs doing (deck, transom, just about eveything else..) but the hull is in remarkably good condition... a tribute to Don Aronow and Magnum Marine.
Busy making a cradle at the moment, then she's got a barn to go in.. There's a great deal of research to be done and options to consider, but i think single engine / outdrive will be simplest, therefore easiest! and (needless to say) cheapest!! Oh, and also as she was originally...

Good news!
I wish you a good job of restauration.
There is a lot to do but the hull is intact.
I hope that one day will get back its original livery when Don Aronow brought it in Europe in 1967.
I will check to every pics of Mag 28' that I have.
