Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

Now, a question for you Cig fans...
What's the difference between the later step Mystique, (like the one shown) and the new Vice ??[/QUOTE]

From what I've been told, the Vice has a bit more rocker in the hull to carry the bow with less hp. (The Vice was originally intended for 496 power)

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

Kurt,

Thanks for the reply. Was the reason ever determined as to why it flipped to begin with. I assume (hopefully) there was not any structural damage? I ask this question not in criticism, but as a lesson to the other owners.

Thanks again.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

I don't think we'll ever know why it went upside down. It was a slow speed roll with no structural damage at all.

What I can say from experience behind the wheel, (20+ hrs on the boat) is the Mystique/Vice is a very predictable vessel. Especially for a twin step V-bottom.

<sigh>
wet n damaged goods or not, I still love that boat. Plus, it would fit in my shop !!

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

any info on how this vice is doin

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

I found out a few months ago that a buddy of ours actually had this boat built for himself. He had a 496 30 Vice with the stock paint job and wanted a Vice to his specs. However, he traded this one back to Phil before it was complete and bought a 42X.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

wow, nice.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

I believe this is the one you are talking about. We saw it at the Hartwell run a couple weeks ago.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

That thing is DOPE! Does he want to trade for a 95 Gun?! :D

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

The boat is doing very well and the owner is very satisfied with it. It is smokin fast for a 30' boat with 525's.

The pictures don't do the paint job justice

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

well then im just gonna have to see it in person cause it sure looks good in the poto. thanks for posten it.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

I picked up a used 30' mystique with 500's. I too needed the 30' factor for towing and storing. Love the boat.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

what kinda speeds with the 500s

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

too much boat for you, dont worry about what kinda speeds it gets....

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

we will see about that. i guessing it will take you.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

almost looks like a fountain that low in the water... :eek: :drink: :evilb:

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

The dealer advertised it at 75 mph. I have not had a gps installed yet to get acurate numbers. As soon as I do I will post.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

Its for sale again

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

still at the same price. 225k.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

I forgot about this post, 76 mph on gps

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

Vice/ Mystique boats look great until a full size Cigarette pulls up next to it! Your Vice/ Mystique suddenly feels like a Hot Dog boat next to a TG/ X/RR.

The SC Yellow/ Blue Mystique just hit Ebay again too. I would rather spend the same dollars on an older TS TG.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

The last Vice made.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

nice lookin boat

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

A 30 ft boat fits my boating style and its not a matter of trying to maximize size for my dollar.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

This assumes you have the space for the 38...

By the way, what is the speed of the Vice with the 525's, compared to a 38TS-TG with 525's?

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

Vice will run low 90's where a 38 T/S with 525's and a cabin runs mid-high 80's.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

On the 38 TS/TG, how much (if any) difference in weight or performance with the full cabin as opposed to the covergirl cabin?
Make no mistake, I would LOVE to have a TS/TG, but I don't mind spending some time hangin it out in the air, and low 90's with stock power sounds like a good time to me.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

They didn't make a T/S with a "full cabin." They have the cover girl and extended covergirl. I don't know the weight difference but I've heard it's a mph or so.

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

how is the vice's ride in the rough stuff?

Re: 30 ft Vice info, what to look for?
 

What would be a good price for this boat today?
