But if anyone is looking around, there is a clean clean DCB F-29 with twin 525EFIs/XRs with around 115 hours for dirt cheap. Local repo boat that can be had for $119k I believe.

That's slightly over $1k per mph I believe..........

Sort of.
Raylars 525 496 kit is about 10K less than a new 525.
I don't know what a 600 hp motor costs from Raylar.
I am going to use an XR drive with either pkg. About 10k new with HP gimbal.

Don't waste your money on the Raylar 525. I would find a low hour Merc 525 or have a motor built by a reputable shop (ie Boostpower, Teague, ect.) IMO.

Default Aboute 34 scepter

Have looked around and did not find much on this particular model.
I really like the look of them but do not know as much about quality and so on Magic boats.
hade had a couple Baja and one Hustler before.
Someone who owns a 34 or know anything about these?

That's a big boat for Magic to be building. Their production process works for boats under 30' but once you get to the size your mentioned, I would pass.

Something about the dash shaking violently 6-8 inches each way running at 70 mph doesn't sit well with me, IMO.....

Now if the price was way right on it, them maybe but pass on that savings to the next guy.
