Help for a new boater?

[Ruger_Nut]

Hello all, I just aquired my first boat, and I can't wait to get in the water
From what I am able to figure out it is a Magnum S170, I am trying to find out more about the boat, and the manufacturer.
I have tried to find info online, but there just isn't anything out there about this boat.
Anyone have a link or two that might help me out?
Much thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

A little more info sure would help.

Aluminum? fiberglass?
Inboard? outboard?
length?
hull id number?
age?

how about a photo?

What does it say on the title or registration card?

The last two digits in your HIN tell me it's a 1975 year model.
Made by MGX Corp. 8401 9th St. St. Petersburg, FL.
Seriously doubt if there are still in business. But, who knows? I'm still in business at my advanced age.
