Magic 640

A lot of power for the money

On paper the Magic 640 is the value anomaly of Marian's range: 100 kW, an 84 kWh pack and 28.6 knots from a 6.4 m hull, listed from €51,600. That is a performance specification usually attached to a considerably larger number. The likeliest explanation is configuration — Marian offers the battery in AGM or lithium form and builds to order — so treat €51,600 as the floor of a range rather than the price of the boat as described. Establish in writing which chemistry, which motor and what VAT treatment the quotation covers before drawing conclusions.

What the numbers mean on a lake

An 84 kWh pack feeding a 100 kW motor means full-throttle running is measured in tens of minutes, not hours. That is normal for an electric sports boat and perfectly workable in practice, because nobody holds 28 knots continuously — but it does mean the Magic suits a buyer who wants short bursts of pace between long, slow stretches, not one who plans to commute at speed.

Against its sibling the Delta 600, this is the same footprint with a different temperament. Against outside rivals in the 6-metre electric class, few publish both a triple-figure motor output and a battery capacity at this price, which makes verifying the configuration all the more worthwhile.
