Magic 34 Sorcerer
Since the Super Hawaii thread yielded some interesting info, I've searched the forum for old posts on the claim of the Sorcerer being an Aronow hull. Alot of mentions that it is but nothing definitive.
Can anyone list or show a line of history regarding this hull proving that it is one of Don's?
For the record I've always thought this is one of the best looking boats on the water. And when I was told it was an Aronow hull many years ago I just took it for granted that the statement was true. But now I'm curious...Is it?
Hopefully someone on here knows the real story. Habana Joe? T2x? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

Hot Boat tested a 34Sleek Heritage and that's where I read it was an Aronow hull. With 425HOs it ran 74 and hit almost 60 in ten seconds. They also praised the handling of the boat. I think it retailed for $159k. If I was looking for a smaller V bottom that could handle ocean conditions this boat would be high on my list.

I only just discovered this old thread.
I have the history of the Magic 34 documenting that it
is an Aronow hull. Two Hot Boat magazines from 1993.
Also a little tidbit about the Magic 29 and its Japanese
roots.

Early versions prone to hull failure. Got better when Sleekcraft bought Magic. If it is later than 1999 a very good boat. Was on my shortlist in 2001 when I bought my 35 Nordic. Even Nordic general manager (at that time) was very complimentary about the Magic.
