Vin would be the one to do itI'll let someone else say it....
Now you seen them, now you dont, magic man!Isn’t every weekend a magic regatta?
That sounds low to meHow many deck boats were finished? On the water at some point, long beach sales included.
Im going to wild guess, 200?
That sounds low to me
it does 60 mph with a 496
Best I have seen in a magic with a HO is 58 on gps 4 people half tanks normal shit on the boat in July.your correct. It does 72 with 2 people. Thats with a GPS and all the time. Your thinking under 60? come on....I had one for 10 years.
This is all 100% trueThanks to all who have given me answers to the meet up, I'm sure most people like myself sit in the channel and check out all the boats and many of them I really don't like and would never own ,, but to each is own, everyone has different taste and needs for the boat of there dreams, I have been coming to Havasu for 40 years and always wanted a magic the first time I seen one, I finally pulled the trigger and found the perfect boat for myself and my family, this boat has been great , no it don't do 100 mph, but who needs that when you have precious cargo, I guarantee when someone finally builds this boat again , it will be sold many times again, too all , have a safe time on the water and have fun ...
Says the guy that had to hire two painters for one jobYou only need 4 boats to show up to showcase all 2 hull variants and the 2 colors they offered lol
@MK1MOD0
Not one person has said anythin about anyones boat? Just stated the obvious?
The mph joke was a jab at the boat that tried to out run the 230k 800hp boom boom.
Like I said relax. Everything is going to be okay..

My wife and I could have wrote that. Always liked Magics. Finally bought one a year ago or so. The big joke is always regarding the 496 and top speed. Not built for speed. We love ours. Great family boat for us and our kids and grandkids. It has a 625 which it needs with all the stuff my wife’s loads up lolThanks to all who have given me answers to the meet up, I'm sure most people like myself sit in the channel and check out all the boats and many of them I really don't like and would never own ,, but to each is own, everyone has different taste and needs for the boat of there dreams, I have been coming to Havasu for 40 years and always wanted a magic the first time I seen one, I finally pulled the trigger and found the perfect boat for myself and my family, this boat has been great , no it don't do 100 mph, but who needs that when you have precious cargo, I guarantee when someone finally builds this boat again , it will be sold many times again, too all , have a safe time on the water and have fun ...
Had my magic 6 adults 4 small kids 58 me and my wife and 2 small kids 2 years and 4 months can do 62-65 any day of summerBest I have seen in a magic with a HO is 58 on gps 4 people half tanks normal shit on the boat in July.
Might do 70 in Feb with 5 gallons and nothing in the boat lol.
It was just a joke, I had no idea that the "every day is a magic regatta" was a thing. It was just an observation that through the channel, every 3rd or 4th boat on the beach seems to be a magic. They are good looking boats, I have no idea how they are constructed or handle but they look nice and seem very functional.Thanks to all who have given me answers to the meet up, I'm sure most people like myself sit in the channel and check out all the boats and many of them I really don't like and would never own ,, but to each is own, everyone has different taste and needs for the boat of there dreams, I have been coming to Havasu for 40 years and always wanted a magic the first time I seen one, I finally pulled the trigger and found the perfect boat for myself and my family, this boat has been great , no it don't do 100 mph, but who needs that when you have precious cargo, I guarantee when someone finally builds this boat again , it will be sold many times again, too all , have a safe time on the water and have fun ...
I've read through this thread like 3 times now and can't find a post where someone was "bagging on others"I didn’t mention the mph jab. Just the overall smack talk on The brand Seems odd to me. But some people like to bag on others , whatever.

There's a couple comments about every weekend being a Magic regatta(which it is), and a couple comments on the lack of color options(one of the few manufactures that had boats on the showroom floor between 05-07' so a lot of them have similar/simple/neutral colors/graphics). I don't see any hatred towards them and I bet there's more Magic owners on this forum than just about any other single manufacture.
Take a deep breathe, everyone will still wave at you in the channel. Nobody hates your Magic.
Again, not true. I owned one for TEN years. Wish is still did. Maybe that boat had a bravo 3? Maybe not trimmed right.Best I have seen in a magic with a HO is 58 on gps 4 people half tanks normal shit on the boat in July.

JBNSOCAL had one also. He may chime in.
Upper 60s was never ever a problem.
Edit...
I doesnt matter the top speed. The boat works the best at 55ish with passengers.
So you win. It wont go 60 cause it doesnt matter.
Great boat. End of story and thats why its a regatta every weekend
Be very gentle with that combination unless the engine internals have been upgraded. The 496 Mag has a lot of cast internals that won't react well to boost combined with any abuse. I had a 496 HO with a procharger on it and even that made me a little nervous.She'll actually do high 60's with a 496 mag (non HO).
Did I forget to mention the procharger and intercooler??? (Don't tell anybody) View attachment 1128781
I agree. I've run it for several years and I baby it. So far, it's been fairly good to me. I usually cruise in the 45-55 range. That's where the family is comfortable. I've had it dyno'd at 500 hp, which is enough that I don't struggle to ease onto plane and I can cruise between 3500 and 4000 rpm in the 40 - 55 mph range. I'm not going to win any races but I can make it around the lake and river without a problem, pretty much regardless of the traffic or conditions.Be very gentle with that combination unless the engine internals have been upgraded.

On the Magic specific topic, the Magic I had (Wizard) was overall a good boat. I did crack the hull on it though to the point I was getting water in the bilge (which was what caused me to start looking for where the water was coming from and how I found the crack). Had to have it ground out and repaired. As far as I know, that boat is still running around on Havasu somewhere.
Been an Eliminator guy ever since and haven't had a hull problem yet...
Whoa, "Cracked the hull..." I want to hear more on that. We chatted before about my '06 Wizard I ran hard in the ocean, jumping, etc... built solid from what I experienced but I did "shudder" that hull a few times on landingsBe very gentle with that combination unless the engine internals have been upgraded.

Yeah, cracked it about 1/3 of the way back on one of the strakes. Wasn't much to see on the outside, just looked like the gel was chipped away in a couple of places. On the inside it was also a little difficult to see, but you could tell there was a jagged line in the fiberglass and apparently the water was making its way through.Whoa, "Cracked the hull..."

I guess I got lucky then.... and now its out in Kona, HI continuing the Magic Wizard salt fest.Yeah, cracked it about 1/3 of the way back on one of the strakes.

I wasn't really hard on it, but it did see some pounding here and there on the Mohave swells. I never did anything hard enough that was even remotely likely to break a hull though. Don't know if it just had a thin spot in just the right place or what...
