Magnum Lost to Fire in Porto Ercole

A Magnum is like a unique peace, so when a 45 gets a fire, then lost and sank it is always a bad news.  This Magnum 45 went ablaze on thirteen August when cruising some one nautical mile away from the coast around Punto Avoltore, to the South West of Porto Ercole.  All the persons on-board have been saved, but unfortunately the Magnum 45 did not make it and succumbed to the fire and then ultimately sank in sixty meters of deep sea water.

The Magnum is in this fire is a 45, second model to come from the Filippo Thoedoli era which started in 1976 and brought so much success to the US legendary brand.  Designed as nearly all Magnum's by Jim Wynn and Walt Walters the 45 had an interior of a single cabin and optional two cabins version with bunk second guest cabin, and was powered twin by GM 650 or optional 735hp with line shaft or surface drive propulsion.  Selling in about forty units the Magnum 45 was replaced by the bit larger 50 Bestia in 1994.
