Magic Deck Boats

[MagicMan]

Who has all the swag? I need to get someone b-day presents.

I purchased a couple hats for the wife and I from Preston at Horizon Motorsports. I believe he had t-shirts as well.

I may be in the minority here, but my Magic doesn't rattle or make a single sound whatsoever. Absolutely solid as a rock. When I had some speakers installed along the front step, the installer (Speed of Sound) said it was the thickest he had ever seen. Maybe I got lucky?

I've been so happy with ours that I would consider a new one, however, I can't get behind anything Ultra is involved in.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

does your buddy still have this ?

Did you get ahold of him about his boat

 

[702sandman]

No I didn’t find his number ? Can you see if he still has it

Mines a 2006 Wizard and I run her offshore with plenty of flying through the air. No rattles and loose screws at all which is rare given as much bouncing as goes on in sea conditions. No spider cracking in glass either. My last boat required a screw driver on board and there were always some subtle spider cracks going on over time with age.

You need to look him up on Facebook

You sell your 27 yesterday?

 

[702sandman]

Yes a buddy of mine really wanted it and we really want a deck boat so we decided to let it go. now it’s just trying to find the right Magic. We are heading to havasu tomorrow To look at a couple

This is our hope too. We’ve been kicking around the idea of getting out of the pontoon and into a bigger deck boat. The smaller companies are priced just as high as the Nordic’s are. My wife’s thinking is why pay that kind of money and NOT get a Nordic. Yes, I know they all ride different and everyone has their likes and dislikes.

I really liked the new magic that Horizon had at the last Havasu show. They hadn’t worked out final pricing at the time but the number they threw out was 150k w/ a 520. That was 2 years ago now though. Things obviously changed or were put on hold.

It may have been a new build but from the outside looked more like an 08, the 09’s had better gel, but yea luckily didn’t look like the 05’s.

All the Magics I've been on, if the doors did rattle a little it was just and easy adjustment of the lock. the doors are solid.

 

[702sandman]

Your buddy Doug?

Yes he bought it

 

[Runs2rch]

Yes he bought it

Another buddy sent me the pic. Super nice. Have been on the hunt for a 27 for awhile. Have to know someone ready to sell like this.

Bumping an old thread to ask the question. Does anyone have an idea of who owns or uses the magic deck/Sceptor molds? Some people say horizon motorsports. Others are saying they were taken out to the east coast.

Horizon Motorsports owns them. I believe they were being laid up by Ultra but had issues (rumor) and then he was looking for his own guys?

Horizon has them. They’ve built a few in the last couple years.

Thanks guys!

They were liked because they ride good and during magics boom times you could get one in 3 weeks.
After time has passed structurally they are sound.
Few cracks in the same places on everyone but not cracks to be concerned about.

The H with the right improvements horizon is doing could be a hit.

In my opinion of 20 years in havasu, owning a magic and seeing what the deck boat market is like now....horizon better be cheaper and less than a 6 week build or it wont work

I hope the pull it off. Id buy another from them if the business model works and is solid.

They need to have gel like the latest DCB and eliminators. Not like the magics of the passed. Bold straight lines.

No ones building a boat in 6 weeks

 

[LAPII]

May be one coming up for sale in next coming month? In sig pic.

If you bought one of the completed hulls you save 5k and all they had too do was install your power and not much more so yes they finished them in 6 weeks or less.

Yup. We had over like 100 completed hulls. Even interior when I worked at LByS liquidating them.

I took it as though he’s saying these days, we all know it was happening back in the day but today, i think Magic proved to all builders why not to have boats sitting around.

Bought ours in 2005. Walked in and 3 deck boats were in the wet sand phase. came back 2 weeks later and was on the water.
start to finish was under 5 weeks

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

Around 3 years or so RD had mentioned that the Horizon guy was enjoying margins of the pontoon craze

 

[Tina7474!]

Does ultra actually finish boats?

Not anymore.. Rusty is a fraud. IM doing a lot of research on him lately as he screwed over a lot of people. LITERALLY KEEPING THEIR BOATS. . HIDING FROM OWNERS OF BOATS , NOT ANSWEIBG CALLS, EMAILS , RIPPING OF LANDLORDS. I know you're post this kind of old. But I'm just updating you to today. July 24th 2024.

Do a little more research. They have been screwing customers for over 20 years. Before Rusty came in the picture.

So you’re telling me the 100k deposit I just gave rusty on a new build isn’t a good idea? I’m scrambling my check has already been cashed. He said it’ll be done in 3 months. I trust him. Seems like a real good guy.

Oh no I'm so sorry. I DO HOPE YOU GET YOUR BOAT BACK IN 1 piece ..He seems like a great guy . However he is not. Seeing how we are posting about him I'm sure he will now try to do right thing , but that won't last . Look him up honey. This goes way back with him . The rabbit hole is deep.

Yes I am lol.

 

[Not So Fast]

Having sold ours back in about 2010 and taking a licking necause at the time it was slow going for boats, now I sort of wish I had it back, 2004 with an HP500 If Dave would have paid a little attention to detail the Magics of that time period would have been in an upper catagory but that woul have cost him $$$$. As it was they were pretty damn nice anyway !!

 

[Rajobigguy]

I know that nowdays there are other boats in that class that ride better, handle better and are faster but there is no denying that the Magics are sexy looking suckers.

So true. Before I knew of the many brands Magics got a lot of my attention. ;thumbsup:

There is no doubt the magic is sleek looking and sounds awesome with any size power lol. The ride is good for what it was back up until 2008. We sold ours and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another if the opportunity arose.
