22 got a bigger brother...LAM

[ChrisV]

Was kinda looking for an Mach 26 and @toto randomly hit me up saying his friend was selling one.

Andy Holthe was the owner and gave me the run down on it. 200hrs, Teague 800, Teague platinum XR with extension box, basically never been taken apart and just clean. We agreed on doing the transaction in Sept for me to save up the funds.

Me being super impatient, I asked the wife if i can work crazy shifts for the next two months. Basically worked everyday for almost 12-16hrs. Only time off was the lower river run two weeks ago. I would say it was a rough two months and barely saw my wife and kids. Really owe it to her for letting me make this happen. Got the funds and called Andy.

I set an appointment with Barrett Marine to do the inspection. With all the great reviews I read on here I figured have the best do it. Plus one of my customer is good friends with AJ and highly recommend him. Super legit shop and AJ explained everything about the boat and made me comfortable with purchase.

Boat is bitchin, I wasn't too sure about the colors but @02HoWaRd26 told me i had to see it in person. Oh yeah, this purchase is sight unseen. I don't know Andy but when he sent me pictures I look at the detail, garage and everything around it. Dude seem organized and clean. Usually a good sign.

Enough of the bullshit. Pics of the new family Wagon.

Oh yeah @Backlash Anything is possible. Got to put your mind to it.

Summer 2025 f32 rolling in hot.

 

[DaytonaBabe]

Heck yeah! Congrats! Beautiful boat

 

[Outdrive1]

I’ve sold that boat a couple times and I’ve driven it, It’s a really nice boat and was always well kept. Andy told me you were buying it a couple weeks ago. He’s been shopping hard since. Congrats!

Congrats. @Andy01 hasn’t been on RDP in a while. Nice guy. 1st inmate I meet back in the Hot Boat days when he lived in Lakewood.

 

[lenmann]

Big Congrats Chris! That’s a beautiful boat.

 

[Flatsix66]

Awesome, you are a two DCB family! The supercharger seems to have made an impression on your son, I doubt he will be an outboard guy when he grows up now.

 

[Tommy Gun Images]

Congrats! Andy’s 26 is one of my favorites!

 

[HNL2LHC]

Way to go Chris!! I like the way that you roll. Yes, you gotta be nice to a wife that helps you make it happen. She is a keeper!!!!

 

[wzuber]

Wow, what a beautiful dime piece.....
Congrats Chris. All that extra work must feel really good right now.

 

[Justsomeguy]

Congratulations Chris. I know you've been busting your ass for it. Can't wait to go for a ride.

The F32 is a whole different ball game. Friend upped his game from a 26. Was on the water every weekend with the 26. The 32 cost to own and run with big power was a big jump.

Congrats on the new bad ass boat. You got the best of both worlds now.

 

[Todd Mohr]

Congrats, looks incredible!!

Thanks man! It’s super clean

Big Congrats Chris! That’s a beautiful boat.

Thanks Len! Needed a boat that I didn’t want to mess with. This might be it.

Congrats! Andy’s 26 is one of my favorites!

Thanks Tommy! Hopefully soon we could take pics.

Way to go Chris!! I like the way that you roll. Yes, you gotta be nice to a wife that helps you make it happen. She is a keeper!!!!

Lots of family pictures appointments and Disneyland trips. 🫠

It does. Can’t do it much cause my body is getting beat up. But, “Maker of lists, checker-offer of lists.”

Congratulations Chris. I know you've been busting your ass for it. Can't wait to go for a ride.

32 is probably not gonna happen. It’s a dream but I have no desire making a bigger garage at the house. Need to address other hobbies in life.

Just needs turbos and he’s game

 

[King295]

Never met you @ChrisV but been watching all your posts since the Eliminator restoration. The hustle is real and you are killing it. Enjoy and make some memories with the family in that beauty.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Awesome

 

[hallett21]

Congratulations!

 

[outboard_256]

Looking good, congrats.

 

[Bullet28]

Congratulations, beautiful boat.

 

[RiverDave]

Keeping that shittttt.

If you decide you want to part with it call me first!
Congrats on the new boat!

 

[Backlash]

Damn Brother looking good!!! You're gonna owe Momma big time after this purchase! LMAO!!

Beautiful boat and I can't wait to see more pics of you guys tearing up the river!!

 

[RichL]

Congratulations. Looks like a great ride.

 

[zhandfull]

Two words, Wow and Nice!

 

[82daytona]

LFG!

 

[JL95]

So sick

 

[eand28]

Congrats

 

[brgrcru]

Beautiful
Congrats !!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

One of my favorite Mach 26's. Congrats man!!

 

[TBulger]

Loved our F32, but NicPaus is correct, whole different game. Seemed like a 1k minimum repair job after every use. Best of luck sir, she’s a butte.

 

[EPL]

Congrats !

 

[GreenEnergy28]

Hell Yeah man! Congrats on the new float.

 

[renodaytona]

Congrats. That is a clean Mach 26.

 

[JFMFG]

Chris when do you plan to add the standard third axel?

 

[ChrisV]

Chris when do you plan to add the standard third axel?

Literally looking at fenders.

 

[ChrisV]

Thanks guys!

Can't wait to use it. I only used it for 30mins on Friday and wasn't too sure how i felt about it. Only took it up to 60mph and was just looking at the gauges. It's definitely different than the 22. The 22 feels like a go kart and this feels like a boat. I'm pretty sure on holiday weekend i'll love it.

Never met you @ChrisV but been watching all your posts since the Eliminator restoration. The hustle is real and you are killing it. Enjoy and make some memories with the family in that beauty.

It's a curse sometimes but I want nice things in life. Hopefully shows my kid to make easier money later in life.

I was just joking about the F32. My snap on guy have an F32 with Teague 1200s and #6 drives. He broke everything down for me. Doesnt really catch my interest unless I make a ton of more money. I'm self employed and a one man shop. Only so much I can do.

 

[JL95]

Change your name to 2DCBChrisV lol

 

[FreeBird236]

That's a rich looking boat, congrats.
