Abra Cadabra... Magic Coming Soon!

[HCP3]

This new Magic deck is not an H-series twin-step bottom?

Twin step bottom but not the H-series

I’m over the diamonds lol but everyone still wants them.

I agree, apparently diamonds are the new checkers.

 

[riverroyal]

apparently you can have too many diamonds....lost me on the sea deck stuff

 

[FourSeamHeater]

Went over the boat today.. it was windy today so I elected not to take the boat out (Preston was willing)

For the “need it now” peeps this is what you are gonna get.

For the full article I am working on it plus several others, plus a new office.. etc

It’s a lot nicer than the original Magic’s is where I’ll leave it.


Working in the real writeup with real pics. Those are the cell phone “just showing up” pics.

RD...Do you think you’ll have the write up before the show?

The diamonds remind me of like a 1992 Lamborghini Diablo interior or something. Not sure why it is so popular right now? Did the exotic car thing just catch up to the boats?

 

[monkeyswrench]

I love the boat. Interior diamonds aren't my thing, but I would force myself to deal with them That said, just personal preference.

Someday...

Exotic? True, Italian jobbers have had for a while. I always think of 70's lowriders...East LA family I guess...

Somehow I think if someone showed up with a wad of cash Preston would accommodate them with any interior they like.

...And that is why we live in a great country! There are people with money to spend, and those willing to accommodate their needs. I like and understand that part of economics

Yes Sir! Working on it tonight!

Not to answer for RD but I can safely assume the 2 Havasu shops would be Maxed Out Marine and Horizon. Both are 1st class, trust worthy, professional brokerage shops.

Been following along this process and I think they hit a home run. I'm sure the boat itself is a quality piece but I think there's more to it.

Despite those who LAM about their cash toy purchases, a significant # of used boats are quietly financed. People want Magic decks but it's tough (not impossible) to find lenders for 10+ yr old toys and sales regularly fall through due to lack of funding. With a new 2019 build, Horizon will be able to finance buyers into these as fast as they can build them. Not many dealers can successfully resurrect an old boat brand but I have no doubt Horizon will pull it off. Pretty damn cool from a biz perspective regardless of the thoughts on the details of the boat.

Is it in the Nada book. Usually it takes 3 years to get in the Book. Most banks won't finance a boat if there's no book but who knows.

Is it really popular though?

The west coast custom boat world is about .01% of the current market. I think the only wake boat (fastest growing segment) with this interior is Tige. I have seen it on a few Midnight Express (again very custom) but that is about it other than DCB and a few other custom boat manufactures.

 

[Bigbore500r]

Something tells me if you are the buyer, they're gonna build the interior, gauge package, sea-deck pattern etc to whatever you want and are paying for. If you want dingle balls hanging from the bimini that could happen too...just sign on the dotted line and leave a non-refundable deposit.

 

[Rivr22]

Looks great! Glad to see Magic making a come back. Hope to see this boat in person at the Boat Show this weekend.
Also looking for some replacement parts for my 2005 Magic. Will parts be available?

 

[JFMFG]

Any word on the price after this weekends boat show?

I talked to him awhile and he would not give me a number yet but 130 might be a starting place.

 

[FlyByWire]

I was quoted 155 as it sits.

Can save some by not having an adrenaline trailer. That’s with a 520.

 

[riverroyal]

155 with a 520? Must be good weed

Real high end weed. I could only imagine what a H Series would sell for.

Lol no the weed was being smoked at the Howard booth.. $168k for a 255 VTX with a 520.

Price aside, and styling/graphics aside, the boat looked nice. The styling/interior/flooring choices are not for me.

Those appear to be deck gotes.

 

[185EZ]

Me? I expected more especially for the 1st Magic
Needed some electronics to give it the wow factor.
The flooring material was EVERYWHERE, not only the floor but the dash and even on the bow.
Seemed like a cheap way to dress it up

 

[RVR SWPR]

Gets a few builds built & sold I hope they kick ass.LHC perfect Market.

 

[mjc]

I wasn't impressed with the graphics that don't line up. It bothers me on so many boats.

Wow, $165 for a 25ft deck boat, crap is getting way out of hand now.

If it’s truly $130k-$140k I think they will move a lot of them as an entry level 28 foot deck.

A regular trailer, less flooring material, and a simpler interior design would cut a few percent from the price.

 

[riverroyal]

They won't move "a lot " of them, they make 12 boats a year. Period.

12? Lay up 1 a month? Ummmm...

They will have to be check writers. No finance that takes out most people.

It's not a dig on Howard or Gene, that's what they make.

Ohhhh my mistake . I know howard does 12. 12 pieces of art!
I thought you meant there would be 12 magics built in a year

I bow down to you sir calling those prices entry level.
I guess maybe for a “custom” deck boat that’s entry level

I remember thinking things were getting out of hand when custom boats cost $2000 per foot back in the day. LOL
I guess I’m just out of touch with reality I never thought I’d see $80,000 crew cab dooley pick up trucks either

It’s a 28 foot boat we are talking about here. They were what, $100k+ 15 years ago?

That's gonna be a tough one. To Troy's credit he did show up at the boat show and say Hello

Only guys laying up magic is Rusty (not sure if he still is or isn’t) and Blanco. Not sure if Blanco is laying up other hills as well.

 

[2FORCEFULL]

Everyone knocks Cheetahs, but that 26 wildcat is a nice looking boat and the one's ive seen are pretty nice. Steve's comes to mind. 105k with a 520, hydraulic steering, etc is pretty damn good!

sue bought her first one with a 496 h.o…..52k... sold it for 65k 4yrs later...actually she traded it in plus 10k for the new one with a 525 merc… so she ended up at 75k , I upped it 5k more for a triple axel trailer, full hydralic steering to the helm... so 80k....replacement value is 130k......cool... she'll be keeping that boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[2FORCEFULL]

Wow. Someone splashed 2FF graphics and colors!

@2FORCEFULL

it's a bud lite 12 pac box....

 

[2FORCEFULL]

not even close......ha.

View attachment 741244

I seen it, thought, why didn't they bring the blue all the way down???? looks like a wrap copy of sues boat....I was gonna go put a cheetah sticker on it and take a pic..... it does go faster with that blue...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

amagine sitting in the channel and someone walking up and saying...nice cheetah , did you buy it from 2FF

 

[2FORCEFULL]

[2FORCEFULL]

so who is rigging them??? cheetah????

 

[2FORCEFULL]

just asking, correct me if i'm wrong,.... but wasn't the new 21' Hallett vector also 130K...and isn't it 130k for a 65mph toon???..for 130k you can own the whole street in willow valley
