.looking at either a 27 ft mag sport or 28 cigarette to work on this winter Have lines on both not to far from me Like the looks of the sport better but was told they are prone to chine walk at 70 plus Both would be dual small block motors with trs although a single big block with bravo is tempting Anyone care to comment? thanks Brian

Brian never had mine over 80,and no chine walk.Remember these hulls were not designed to run much faster then that.

Also have a real strong 28 Maltese for sale $12,000 closing my business.The previous owners had more than $25,000 in it ,needs minor mechanical and cosmetics.trailer has 3 new axles, brakes. and tires...it is ready to roll,call or e-mail if interested. Bud 312-607-3115

Brian,I had Vixen well over 85 with a single eng and never had a hint of chine walk.Cant say on twin as i only ever had a single in her,but never heard of anyone saying anything about chine walk in a Mag.

Guess I stepped on some toes Was more interested in mag but cig is more complete Didnt think mags had problem but had to ask Was told by cigarette guy that they did Am looking at the 27 in NJ the sport Have the whole drivetrain for it all fresh Would be an interesting project Theres a 27 on ebay with new transom Also found a stripped 27 hull in sacramento No trailer could be gotten reasonable To far for me but has tall bow rails and tall windshield Hardware real clean Have pics but cant post Send email will send pics Or can call person direct 916 803 8542 lance. Is advertised as 28 but looks like a 27 Thanks Brian

Brian,before you make up your mind on a boat remember,a Mag is a 27ft hot rod.I don't think it was ever built for a family boat.I see so many guys buy a Mag and 2 months later have it back on the market after momma finds out theres no porta potty or anyplace to change clothes or even get out of the weather in a storm.I love my Mag and wouldn't trade it for anything,but i knew what they were before i bought it.If i wanted all this other stuff i would have bought a 27 baja but not near as much fun.

Here's an article on Chine Walking. Not specific to any hull maker, but may be interesting nonetheless.

Yeah....I always say it's the most useless 27 foot boat on the planet....unless you want to rule the waves and look super awesome.
