Abra Cadabra... Magic Coming Soon!

[riverroyal]

So a new Magic deck is 135k with a Merc 520, that's within +/- 10k of a new fully loaded Nordic 26' deck. Not sure that's enough of a price break for not having a substantial manufacturer and the best customer service in the industry standing behind your purchase.

bingo.......

Thanks....looking to add a new turbo to my 900hp stock 1989 5.0

Seems like a good use of time and resources.

You forgot the extra 2 feet of length . That said, if the pricing is accurate, that is about where it should be.

Or you can get a 25 foot Howard with a 6.2 for the same price

 

[Dirtbag]

120k for a cheetah??

was just thinking that and if thats the case my boat is worth 350k

i dont think you can compare the 2. Im a big nordic fan but the 26 is quite small inside.

Here we go with build costs again.

I'm not saying a Wildcat is the best boat on earth, but they are a nice solid boat at a good value. You are not going to hear many Wildcat owners complaining about them.

@2FORCEFULL with the fastest mofo on the water.

I am by no way comparing the two boats..

Yesterday though a 07 magic game in with a 525. Boat sold in one day for 95,000.00.

If someone is paying almost a 100 for a ten year old used boat? There’s a demand for these things.

 

[riverroyal]

95??? Holy crap. Man did i F up selling mine.

 

[sczagurs]

95??? Holy crap. Man did i F up selling mine.

For that price I might consider selling mine.

Absolutely mind blowing to me. You can go see Thane and with almost no haggling get a loaded 26 (I know it’s “smaller”) for under 140


Nevermind that’s exactly what was just said. Lol.

Both consignment shops that RDP refers out too have waiting lists of people waiting to purchase used Magics and Conquests.

Sign me uppppp!

I’ve thought more than once about doing one of those minus interior and having a bit better interior done on one.

you should buy it back

For $15k less they could have bought Vic’s boat.

When buying a new 28’ deck boat is 150k+ And there is no cheaper equivalent, this is what happens to the market.

Hmmmmmmmmm......

Fag It might be time to sell.

So I can sell it again during the next recession?? Brilliant....

I did learn the bottom has another step added and has been straightened up.
Also added bulk heads to stop and flex. Which wasnt bad on the original but it did flex some.

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!

There was a little flex on our 04’. Not noticeable with normal loads and conditions. If my wife planned the trip and the wind kicked up you could hear a little. Wouldn’t stop me from owning another one.

All the later built magics had twin steps. Thats one way to tell if they changed year on the hull. If you see one claiming to be 2009 with a single step, somethings up.

That Looks Awesome! Please post more when it’s put together. Is there a resource on getting replacement hatches/above the 2 cubbies? The 2 Lids that open on top of the compartments

[02HoWaRd26]

Check out the Magic DCB just upgraded. It put it on a level to compete with Howard and Nordic. The tired old Magic interior really hurt the styling next to newer boats. I believe this just brought up to par or at least very close.

No doubt, I’m sure it would up the price pretty well, if Horizon was able to get DCB Carlos doing the interiors or semi copied that interior with someone good like Main Stitch they would definitely lose that old look. I tease the Magic a lot calling it the Bayliner of the 21st century but they are still a great looking and rising machine.

 

[HB2Havasu]

That was my thoughts also. Makes me worry that the economy must be about to implode when you see stoopid people dropping cash like this!

 

[havasucustomwhips]

Yup. Better drop that cash before the economy dumps[emoji383] or better yet maybe spend 200K [emoji383][emoji383][emoji383]on a new boat instead of just redoing the upholstery.

Tease...

 

[retaocleg]

The only one that's coming to the top of my brain that is deep tunnel is Nordic & E-ticket. So when you say "all deep tunnel" exactly whom are you referring too?

RD

RPM?.....Howard?...….my assumption is prolly skewed as I have not painted any tunnels that were not deep in the last 10 years...…….but that is only Nordic and Eticket

 

[steak&lobster]

Kind of aged it with the design imo.

Howard is the talon bottom etc.

The only new deep tunnel bottom decks to my knowledge
