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)

It's a real sweet rig, handles great.

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.

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.
