Magnum started out with a 27ft race boat after a few owners they now make their money on 90ft yachts.
Cigarette has had more owners than Magnum but now they not only build a European express cruiser they also market a 55ft yacht that they don't even build themselves.
Actual "Performance Boats" both I/O and outboard that either the company went out of business or they simply changed directions and no longer build a performance boat line any longer.

Your next post "Bertram" is an excellect example.

Thank you

It is not the same company. Midnights used to be hardcore closed deck I/o performance boats back during the miami vice days........

Well the list is growing and there may be more out of business, or out of the performance business then there are brands still in business!
