Latest Magic down at Horizon

[RiverDave]

Not that I'm in a position to buy, but those red lines in the interior make it way too busy. That said, the fact that the ones in the Sea Deck don't line up at the front locker would make me crazy. Sweet boat other than that.

they do.. there is a drop down and the angle of the photo makes it look like they don’t.

 

[RiverDave]

Sweet mother of god why did you point that out to me? Gonna f with my day now.

What is the drink coaster looking thing under the VesselView display?

It’s one of the wireless chargers for phones.. there is a couple of them in the boat.

Any more pics of the gel scheme?

 

[havasuhusker]

This is exactly why we have a new boat (2020) in the garage vs a 15+ year old 100k boat. I couldn't justify the cost of a close to two decade old boat vs new...and we intend to keep it for LONG time.

My wife and I did the same.

 

[RiverDave]

Any more pics of the gel scheme?

it was close to the other boats in the showroom, which is amazing for showing boats but impossible to take pictures in..

If I stop by again this week I’ll grab some.

Where are these built?

 

[riverroyal]

Where are these built?

yes

 

[240Hallett]

??

At first glance it looked like a different shade and missed matched lines. I see now that that section of floor is on a different height and probably a different angle which would explain my optical delusion.

 

[RiverDave]

in lake Havasu

 

[hallett21]

Nice to see them building these. And not growing faster than they need to.

That’s not going to work well in Havasu heat. Phones sitting in the sun will shut down and batteries can explode or be a fire hazard. Found out while charging an RC boat kicking it in the channel. I tossed that shit in the water before it engulfed the boat and went back to my beer.

I assumed that. Being Horzion is a dealer I was asking who is building them or they do have there own facility?

put a towel over it. That’s what I do when my phone is on my dash

 

[DWC]

Looking forward to seeing some better shots of the exterior.

The Magic interior isn’t horrible. The SeaDek is a little busy but I’d get over it. The colors are similar to the new Eliminator. A new floor would change the look quite a bit.

Do you know who makes the charger? I kinda want to have a couple installed in the glovebox of ours...

I think they are being laid up by Ultra.

I dig it! Well done horizon!

This past summer there were two of the new Magic's at Saleen. They were working on the liners. I'm not sure who did the hulls.

 

[LowRiver2]

Haven’t seen the progress on my friend’s in awhile, should have more done since these pics

I have one of these on my service boat. They work pretty well to slowly charge or maintain charge but they can't compete against a wired fast charger.

not to mention having your phone sitting out in the 110*+ sun while fast charging is a good way to get it to go into heat protection mode.

i think its great they're making new ones, what will be interesting is all the old magics will they go up in price to compete with these or will they drop now that theres new offerings? are they direct off the old molds or was there any improvements made from 20 years ago?

The old ones will will hold in price. You still can't get a new 28' deckboat for anywhere close to $100K unless you want a 26' Cheetah Wildcat. If given the choice, I'd do a new Wildcat over a 15 year old Magic any day.

Doesn't get hot but I can tell you with authority that red Alcanterra becomes pink Alcanterra waaaaay sooner than it should!!

I always thought it was faded red.

 

[gqchris]

I always thought it was faded red.

When I sold boats years ago, we always called Red Gel Coat "Quick Fade Pink!" lol

I don’t.. but I’d bet wired for sound could put a few in for you easy enough

Thats the one i found, ive read mixed reviews today. i have USB ports next to my DTS/cupholders so im thinking ill stick with that for now.

they do have their own facility up off college. I believe the hulls are being subbed out to a fiberglass shop and rigging is as well right now. I know that Preston plans on bringing all that in house at some point, but don't know when or the details.

This'll be interesting to watch.... Iconic brand out your way, especially for those decks I hear. I'm guessing thats some crowded market space with Nordic holding number one spot in new deck sales right? I'm guessing. Its all about if Magic can leverage the brand name and meld that with a boat that is strategically positioned on quality/ price & appeal. Fine line to walk is my thinking and minimal production is key.

I don't think he's trying to turn it into the biggest boat mfg out here. He's got a ton of other business interests, and he's doing one boat at a time, purely because of demand.

Makes sense.... should be enough brand pent up demand to be viable. Talk about a brand that just won't go away ... permanently anyway ha.

 

[riverroyal]

I don't get the sea deck busy floors. I think it looks like crap, not just this boat. The material is fine, but everyone is going way over board on the patterns. This is not goin to age well.
But Im wrong all the time!

I'm not a fan of it at all. It is literally a mechanics worst nightmare. It gets stained All The Fucking time. I have to be more careful in a seadecked boat than a nurse in the covid wing. Its a fucking nuisance and the shit doesn't last. I push snap in Seagrass to every customer of mine who asks about seadeck

I like a floor on a deck boat with nothing. Just fiberglass.
I dont get the crazy patterns

 

[MK1MOD0]

After walking on a plain fiberglass deck in August, and then a sea deck... no comparison. Sea deck all the way.

Anyone know who is doing the interior in these boats.

There a guy in Pasadena that is on his second boat

I’d also like to know

 

[FROGMAN524]

Sorry to say I’m not a fan of the non-metallic cement gray base that’s been popular lately on a lot of these west coast boats. Also I’d ditch the crazy sea deck flooring and the crazy stitching as well.
