DCB F-29 All years good ?

[done]

Looking to get a used F-29, Is there any bad years with any problems ? I seem to remember a thread about a year not taking a real good set, maybe
some porpoising. Any thoughts would be helpful...... thanks in advance.

 

[Outdrive1]

They don't porpoise. I think the last one was built in 2012?

There are no bad years Jeff. Maybe the earlier ones weren't capped? Later ones have the 32 floor in them with step plates and are more likely to have poker run interior.

GOOD LUCK getting a F29 to porpoise at any speed! getting it on plane is a whole different story. One of the best family friendly Cat's ever made. Wish I could have bought a nice one when the market was down a few ago. Prices seem to be very solid again.

The singles literally roll over as soon as you give them throttle.

They are SUCH a nice Havasu boat. I rode in a 496 twin boat and that thing was awesome. I had a V10 625 X 2 that I loved. Anything SC would just be unreal. I would not hesitate to buy any year of that boat. Solid boat / looks awesome / performs / and handles great.

YA think that's why I had that Quad rotor :cool....LOL Wetwillie's 1050 single with 6 drive was the Shitz! 1300 in mine would have be been Stupid :thumbsup

How does an 28 Daytona ICC compare to an F29 with similar power?
You guys with F29's and 28 Daytonas can always give me a ride, in exchange for a unbiased 3rd party opinion...:thumbsup

I have been in both with identical power. Both had twin Ilmor 625's. They both ran very well, but I was more impressed with the F29 and also I like the interior layout of the F29 better.

28 Daytona is slightly faster. DCB canopies are day and night better. Neither porpoise. DCB's rigging is nicer. Engine bays are way more detailed in the DCB. Both are great riding boats. Those are both home runs bottom wise. Eliminator tends to install tunnel tabs and DCB's almost never have them. I wish they did. It helps it plane a lot easier.

 

[TCHB]

I agree the DCB engine compartment is extremely neat and well done. Who ever they have doing this work they better keep him.

 

[BHC Vic]

Don't their workers work for other shops too?

 

[Don Johnson]

The only way to make an F29 handle bad is to hang 2 #6's on the back of it. Too much weight on the back and messes up the CG. The F29, F32 and all the M's do everything right

Are you looking for a cuddy or closed deck?

I am always looking for a single engine open bow (WTOB works as well). Very difficult to find!

 

[Outdrive1]

Btw, I was going to pm you & ask if you have seen that F29, cuddy, single TCM 800 boat that was listed by that rockstar dude? Silver & red colors..

I've sold that boat twice. Lol.

 

[G. Faulk]

I've sold that boat twice. Lol.

Are you brokering that 2013 Nordic 28 ss for sale with the nxt package?

 

[G. Faulk]

T what ever happen to WW's boat?

 

[Singleton]

I did not. I don't trust any listing by that guy. Have you seen it posted by any reliable shop?

 

[BHC Vic]

That rockstar dude answered when I called about it

 

[TOBTEK]

T what ever happen to WW's boat?

Last I heard, guy in Nor-Cal owned it. Haven't seen it pop up in a while.

 

[JBS]

I've sold that boat twice. Lol.

And I owned it once

Technically the trailer twice :rolleyes

So he has a business license? He's insured? prepared in anyway to stand behind a deal if something goes sideways? People call him for listings? or he sticks other people's actual listings online and if somebody accidentally calls his tries to wiggle some small %?

Which part is legit?

I thought he was now into promoting beermakers t-shirt business? I can't keep up with that guy.

 

[DSMITH]

I love the clean red and white single f29 rockstar is advertising but not interested at 200k

I just checked this boat out on Powerboat and your right it is super clean, but some might say I'm a little partial to the colors/graphics

So explain why he has the silver M41 listed on his page. I know for a fact Horizon is the only authorized dealer. In fact Horizon has that stated on their site "only authorized dealer", due to other representing they have the listing.
I could care less, but I will never purchase a boat through Jason @ Rockstar. I have my reasons and will keep those private.

List me all the DEALERS in havasu....

 

[Outdrive1]

If the OP wants a cuddy, I was going to suggest to him that F29, 575s boat, you have listed. That thing is clean as hell & priced to sell.[emoji1303]

It's sold. Lol.

 

[Cat Can Do]

I bought a F-29 (Merc 525's) 4 months ago and my wife said she'd kill me if I ever sold it, we feel it's the perfect size for havasu and the other smaller lakes we go to. Good luck in your search.

RD the guy just needs a little positive PR.

Why don't you hook him up [emoji3]

 

[RiverDave]

Thanks i will check that out

Thanks i will check that out

also trying to stay in the 150.000 range, Also is the 28 Daytona 1 foot smaller ? Is there a big difference between the two ?

 

[SJP]

I would go twin power application.

I want twins, wife wants single. If I could keep the UltraDeck as the family boat, I would do a closed bow f29 twin. Can't afford 2 boats with kids and school.

Here is the thing - with a boat like that I would never want anyone in the open bow unless you are in no wake.

1. Obstruction of view in your horizon line. It would be unsafe. Hey if the boat goes 60-70 it is one thing. Double that it changes.

2. Building on one - those boats cruise at 80. No one is enjoying that ride in the open bow. Catch a big bug to the face - good times....

Get the boat you want and a reasonable pontoon when you do not want to take out the DCB.

 

[Andy01]

I still want Bob Teagues old F29. Change the gel up a bit, I think it would be a great Havasu boat. :thumbsup

F29's can work as a single but are really a better boat in a twin. Singles are slow on acceleration unless huge power and #6, if big power and a bravo they are drive eaters. Twins are easier to dock and trailer, they turn sold with the weight outbound. OD'1s old Ilmor boat was a blast to drive, did 121 with 5 guys in Parker in 120 degree heat in the summer. Would run much faster with different props and cooler air. But that set up ran really well and was fun as hell to drive. He should have kept it .

OD1's is the F29 that I rode in when DCB first built it. I really like the F29.

Looking for a open bow

 

[HighVoltage329]

Had it for years now. Handles great on the Delta. The Ilmor's just run.

 

[ToMorrow44]

Me too. That's always been my favorite 29 built. Came up for sale a couple years ago and I wish I could've bought it. Has a new owner in Disco Bay now.

There is still a old ad up for it at $140,000. Not the best looking of get, not the worse. But great power. I'd own it for sure. I am sure it will run in the 150's.

My wife and I were lucky enough to go to dinner on this F29 a few weeks ago. I couldn't believe what a great boat this is at everything, no porpoise at any speed, accelerates great, and hauls the mail on the top end.

I only remember Teague's 32. Which 29 was his?

 

[jack14r]

In 2008 DCB started to vaccummed bag and carbon was an option a boat that had these options weighs about 800 pounds less.I think that the Ilmor twin 700 boats are the ultimate as they will run 135+ with bulletproof motors,with the poker run interiors,Dave built about 8 of these.This is a great package and it has one of the best hulls ever built.

 

[MooreMoney]

The 29 we owned had a single Teague 825. The boat was a lot of fun to drive, easy around the docks, easy to trailer around town. The 29 is the perfect Havasu boat on the water. It handles all water without any problems and is very predictable. I would not want a open bow with single power. I feel it would be a slug on the water. Also no one seems to purchase the open bow boats. If you want resale I would get a closed deck boat with new Teague or Mercury power.
