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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
