LAST AUGUST I SOLD MY 28' CHEETAH DECK. I AM NOW READY TO ORDER A NEW DECK BOAT. HOWEVER, I AM SITTING ON THE FENCE BETWEEN A MAGIC OR A CONQUEST. I PLAN TO POWER EITHER ONE WITH A MERC 525. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK EITHER WAY?? THANKS...

Don't have a deck boat, but if I was in the market for one I'd get the Magic. It's the only one that doesn't look like a deck boat. Of course I keep hearing rumors about this 'Trident' that is supposed to be pretty hot.;)

There's an article in January issue of Hot Boat about Conquest with a 525.

The CHEETAH was a good entry level custom, however I'm looking to move up. I am also looking to go a bit faster.

If you look here (http://www.***boat.com/forums/search.php?s=&action=finduser&userid=484), you'll see that some board members seems to have a fixation that is not easily cured.
Maybe he's mad that DCB doesn't use enough checkers?

I think CONQUEST is the hot ticket. The owner Keith Sayre is on these boards all of the time.There was a great write up in the January issue of Hot Boat. It's a good looking ride.:cool:

I just read a thread on the new Lavey. Sounds pretty damn cool! Anyone in the deckboat market better take a look at the new Lavey at the LA Boat Show!!

Just bought a Conquest so I think my opinion is a little biast. Talk to Keith Sayre, he is very honest and will give you the pros and cons of both.

If you can wait, I would look at the Trident, I think that rig is going to offer some value, a little thought in a boat goes a long way twards a day of comfort on the water. The boat show is coming up...
