magic vs E-ticket deckboat

[Toomstone]

how much of a difference is there between these two boats? does the eticket have more freeboard and a smoother ride? more storage? or is the only main difference the extra foot and another engine? i know they have different bottoms but im looking for size and ride information comparing the two from personal experience instedd of specs. thanks

[riverroyal]

have ridden on a e ticket,,they look great,,,this may sound kinda lame,i wouldnt buy one because theres no swim platform at all on the back,we spend hours everyday on our swim step/platform

[riverracerx]

Agree with rr on the swim step issue. No swim step, no buy.
When you are parked that is where you spend all the time. I don't want the kids to climb on a bolt on step and have to navigate around muffler tips.
Have you looked at the 30' Magic?

[OutCole'd]

There is a bolt on swim step in between the drives in the e ticket.

[riverracerx]

I only like bolt-on's on my women! :D

[JB in so cal]

There is a bolt on swim step in between the drives in the e ticket.
That sounds safe :eek: . Could always do some kind of ladder up front.

[Cole Trickle]

The 29' E ticket is quite a bit wider and taller than the 28' Magic deck.I am pretty sure the E Ticket comes standard with just about everything you could want and runs right at 120K with the dual 496ho's
I have heard of the 28' Magic selling from anywhere between 85K-95K depending on when you buy it and who your sales rep is.(This is with the standard 496ho)
If I was in the market for a deck boat I would probablly go with the E-Ticket.Fit and finish appear to be great and so does the customer service.The boat is supposed to run right at 80mph with the Ho's and in my opinion is alot of boat for 120K.(I also like the wrap around seating in the rear)
I like the Magic as well and the rear deck is a huge bonus as noted above.Most deck's run right at 65mph with the 496HO.(Magic is probablly a little more kid/family friendly)
Go drive both

Funny because I commented on that a while back when someone posted a pic of one, I'm sure it will get posted in this thread.
Good looking boat though!

[riverroyal]

would be towards the top of my list,magics with a 496 will bill 25k less,also less to insure

[riverroyal]

theres a few boats with out them,i think its needed on a family boat

[NOTALENT]

talk with phatmatt....his is in process of being built.

[riverroyal]

but we always sit on the back!

[OutCole'd]

Deck boats were meant to be boarded from the front, that's kind of the whole idea of the open deck.
From the water, it is pretty hard to hoist my fat ass from the front, unless you had some kind of ladder installed on the from bow platform.

[M&M247]

Both boats are great, twin drives sound even better in the E ticket.

[riverroyal]

the answers,,,ive seen that e ticket up close,its nice

[Phat Matt]

Yes it does have a swim step. It's a billet one that is bolted on. It is not built in to the boat which is part of the reason the thing is huge. It's a true 29' boat. You can kid of see it better in this pic.
http://www.eticketboats.com/luxury_cat/luxury_cat-Images/2005-Luxury-Cat-3.jpg
I think you would have to compare it more to the 30 magic than the 28. They really are different boats though. Go see Larry next time you are in Havi. Check out the detail he puts into his boats. It might make your decision easier. :)

[riverroyal]

i like it

[One Particular Harbor]

Very nice looking boat and appears significantly larger than the Magic 28, Conquest, etc. Much more freebard with deeper sponsons...I would anticipate that it will handle the rough stuff a little better than the others. I also think the beam is 6" or 8" wider.
Pros (from my perspective):
1. Ride and performance (solid mid-80s with twin 496s)
2. Has a small cabin in the left bulkhead (big enough to get kids out of the sun)
3. A lot of boat for the money (a lot of "options" are included in the price)
Cons (again, from my perspective)
1. I believe he said there is a 14-month wait for a new boat right now
2. No swim step to speak of (as previously noted)
3. Also, and maybe this is just me...but the deck coating or coloring (grey) that he uses gets unbelieveably hot in the direct sun.
BTW, the boat got an outstanding write-up in the recent PowerBoat review of deckboats.

1. He doesn't pump out boats, that's for sure. He has hired more help, but is very picky (which is a good thing) of his employees. The turn around time will pick up.
2. It has a billet swin step that is flush with the water when sitting.
3. The grey is an option (usually just white) but shouldn't get any hotter then the white.

Get a hydralic hoist.... :D :D

[OutCole'd]

The only other thing that I have not seen brought up as a con with the E ticket to me is no floor locker storage. Look at the pic, it is a solid floor. I know how much stuff, ie. anchors, bumpers, noodles, etc. I store in my three lockers.
I really like this boat, this is just something I noticed.

Fortunately you can put your bumpers in the custom holders in the engine compartment and throw your anchor in the anchor box. :D You can probably put your noodles in the anchor box too or just throw them in the cabin. :D

That's pretty trick right there. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is under the engine hatch. I don't want to pull straps and then raise the hatch evertime I need my anchor or fenders. Still pretty cool though.

I don't think there are any straps. Just have to hit a button and the dual rams will lift it up. I would rather have my anchor in the back though just because it isn't going to bounce around so much.

[INSman]

I think I saw somewhere that Larry put one together with twin Ilmor MV10/625's !! Not that would be bad ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sqeyes: :D
Anyone know what that thing is doing top speed wise ??

I don't think he has done one with the twin Ilmor's yet but it is an option as of now. He just finished one with twin 525's a few weeks ago.

[INSman]

How much longer for your beast Matt ??

[Phat Matt]

How much longer for your beast Matt ??
A month maybe? I don't have an exact date yet. When it's done, it's done. I'm not going to rush him but I did mention it would be nice to have it at the "ATTDR". :D

Shouldn't there be straps???? They are a safety feature so you have more holding your hatch down then just the bolts or screws on your actuators. I always leave mine strapped. It may not come off now but keep going without them and one day boom. Don't get me wrong they just snap so it only takes a couple seconds to get into the hatch but it's not as quick as a ski locker or something. And there is also the factor that somebody is always laying out on the deck or there are towels or whatever.

Honestly I can't remember if there are straps on it or not. I don't remember seeing any but I could be wrong.
The more I think about it, I don't think there is any.

[Wmc]

We just purchased the 28' Magic Deckboat and we love it, great family boat. Price included all bells & whistles, JL Audio sound system, 10 disk CD player, so much storage nothing sits out except the towels, full swim step in back with aqua step (We hang out there alot!!!), 2 captains chairs, full size ice chest holds so much food & drink, 496 HO (65-70 mph), sink, blender, 2 areas in front of the captains chairs that 2 kids can totally sit in (very open & comfortable), wash down front & rear, bimini top, carpet kit, transom trim switch, extra remote for stereo at rear. The price out the door $97,000 including tax & license. I don't know much about the Eticket, but I sure recommend the Magic Deckboat.. This is from Mrs. Wmc.

[Burley1]

I must chime in here, I have looked at them all because reluctantly "Spelling" I will be getting a deck, and of them all it is by far the best I have seen. A friend and myself are going to get Larry started building 2 for us and can't wait. and as far as the details "Holly Sh*t they are nice, even the trailers are awsum "hey PM are you going with the 20's on the trailer? And the swim step thing, I will use the front, away from the props and drives and that would be the case on for any of them.
Oh BTW PM your boat is looking sweet when I saw it yesterday!!

page 83 of the latest Powerboat, is a E-Ticket ad that says a 2006 Luxury cat with twin Ilmor MV10's is available.
Ilmor makes the MV10 550 and the 625, would be interested to get some performance results on one of these !!! :jawdrop: :D

Thanks on the boat. :D
I didn't get the 20's on the trailer. I dumped more money into the stereo. :D It will just be going from storage to the launch ramp so I'll stick with the stock rims.

Without tweaking I think the one with the 525's hit 97mph on it's first trip out. With the right prop set up he should hit triple digits.

It's got twin actuators that I'm sure are bolted a little bit better into the floor than any straps would be. I really don't see a need for straps with twin actuators IMHO.

Only if you like sitting behind the porta potti, in the middle of the boat to drive.

They were 146k at the boat show with HO's

i hope to buy one of these beasts one day and think that they are all beautiful boats. magic is on the top of my list for sure but what do you guys think about the cheetah party cats?and or the ultra 23 deck?

[riverroyal]

long time to wait on a boat,order the E ticket now,give them a refundable deposit,then go get a magic,have one in 2 weeks or so,,,drive it all year,then sell it,I hear they are going up in price,so you may break even.After you sell it go pick up your E ticket.Or keep the magic if your happy and get your refund back... :p

Kilr,
someone can do a search on here and find all kinds of Magic owners reaping praise all over the boat. I think this thread took more of a "hey, look at this new-to-market E-Ticket" type of feel. Phat Matt jumped all over it 'cause he has one on order. I think the boat has merit; lots of good stuff.

I know you have one....
But Im just surprised about this thread, No postive feedback from anyone....
Maybe NASHVILLEBOUND HAS SOME....
Im just kidding about NB
What am I chop liver. I thought my feedback was positive and full of great information on the deck. I'm a happy magic deck boat owner. :) :) :)

[Wmc]

Didn't you read the whole thing? You're a newbie. :p Don't worry, I stuck up for you.
I knew I could always count on you... See you this weekend?

kilr....this thread wasn't asking for opinion on the quality of the boat....just difference in the ride and general size difference with the interior and exterior...never had a problem with my magic :)

I recognized you as the only one who said anything postive on page 4.....

[Phat Matt]

Thanks.... and to Kilr...they are nice....not quite an e-ticket but a good machine.
Nice! :D

Kilr, like what has been said on this thread. I never read where anyone was asking about the quality of the Magic's, or if the owners liked them. Just a comparison in size & ride.
If anyone asks on a thread or in a PM to me about the quality or anything else about my Magic I give an honest answer, I LOVE my boat and would by one again above any other deck boat out there for my own reasons. I am not a Magic cheerleader, I don't think they need any, have you been to Havasu lately, probably more Magic Deck boats out there than any other single model boat I believe. I don't like to try to turn every thread out there looking for a opinion about any boat as an opportunity to try to sell another boat for Magic, they obviously don't need my help selling boats.
I read through this thread tonight and all 5 Magic owners responding (not including NB :jawdrop: ) all seem to be very happy with there boats. We just seem to gloat less than others.
Magic owners drink beer, not Koolaid.

I think you should add that to your sig too. lol :D

[Kilrtoy]

how much of a difference is there between these two boats?
You are asking for an opinion....are you not....

[Kilrtoy]

Magic owners drink beer, not Koolaid.
now I know why you all have clouded vision....
unsafe limits of alcohol on the brain

Im confused , would that not be the same thing....
i dont think thats the same....a boat may ride very smooth but put together like crap...i bet most people believe the magic rides great but a few have negative comments about the way magic does business and their attention to deatial...i didnt ask for anyone to give opinions on why magic sucks or doesnt...just is the e-ticket a substantial step up in size and ride quality?... not trying to argue :crossx:
