Like a lot. Hatches instead of lounges as an option?

 

[Gelcoater]

Sorta looks like that one Steve is building with the lounges.

The CNC process is pretty amazing, never gets old seeing pics of things getting made like that.

 

[DrunkenSailor]

That windshield is sick as are the loungers.

Is that the one down in the “from the mold section”. I was thinking it looks a lot like that one.

Love the lounges in the back. Always liked when mystic did that.

 

[2Driver]

No sign on the building, I’m out.

For those that don't know, (me) what's the brown stuff on the foam?

Gotta give it to interceptor trying to evolve. 36 in my opinion is a great size. Dave in your opinion do you think they should have gone bigger in the 39-44 game? Id assume they’re trying to market to east coast big water people?

Hell no. Should have gone 28-30 IMO.
At 36 you are limiting your buying population.

 

[DWC]

Agreed, I would have done something in the middle. My ideal size is 32ish but maybe that’s just the dream of a Doug Wright. 36’ is huge.

I think in the next 5-10 years the 28 range in havasu will be considered small.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

They aren’t selling this Havasu people. There are giant margins in that size of a boat, and tons of buyers outside Havasu.

ICB does not have the name to sell these in FL.
DCB has the name and limited 37 are sold east of TX.

No kidding. That is is why it will be significantly cheaper. This first one is going east to Wisconsin as stated.

No one is building a boat business with $500k+ boats from Havasu customers.

DCB has a name, with high pricing pricing and not the same recognition to go with it in some parts of the country.

If this boat is savings and performs, people will buy it.

 

[evantwheeler]

I need to develop my skill of earning stupid amounts of disposable income. This is so rad.

 

[HST4ME]

The deck hatches are ass, hopefully someone comes to their senses on those.

 

[RiverDave]

Let it is similar to all the other deck hatches I have seen?

 

[Gelcoater]

Looks like the only access to under deck to me.

 

[HST4ME]

Let it is similar to all the other deck hatches I have seen?

I know it's a rendering, but they open wrong, and are ugly .

 

[Flatsix66]

Looks super cool. I would love that layout in a 26-28ft boat that would be sub $175k.

 

[CSmith]

I think in the next 5-10 years the 28 range in havasu will be considered small.

I feel like we are already there. Going out on the weekends sometimes is miserable in my fundeck. Idk how that many folks can afford to purchase and maintain these 36' and bigger boats. I'll admit sometimes I'm jealous lol.

 

[DLC]

Jiff..creamy

That’s Nutty….

 

[Havasu Rehab]

I wonder if the hatch in between the two loungers is a built in cooler? That would be so rad.

 

[Orange Juice]

For those that don't know, (me) what's the brown stuff on the foam?

It appears the hull is being computer cut out of a foam block. Then clay is added to mold to shape and smooth. It ends up being called a plug. Then a mold is made from the plug. They can make multiple molds, by reshaping the plug.

 

[HST4ME]

I wonder if the hatch in between the two loungers is a built in cooler? That would be so rad.

it probably is, note the hinges. builds like that you can do whatever within reason.

 

[DWC]

I think in the next 5-10 years the 28 range in havasu will be considered small.

I think the average size will keep ticking up. (It would be interesting to know how that’s changed over the last 20 years). 28’ is about the sweet spot IMO. Most can still be towed with a 1/2 ton. There’s plenty of storage, parking at the launch ramp, dock spaces and you don’t have to have “big power” to enjoy them.

Agree. Like stated above sometimes our 28 gets eaten up in havasu now. I can’t imagine being in a 21-23 ft range

You should build a boat and see how the margins really are... It is so easy and we all so much money falling out of our pockets. Not sure where you get your expert information.

 

[Tony DCB Boats]

ICB does not have the name to sell these in FL.
DCB has the name and limited 37 are sold east of TX.

You would be surprised how many of our 37's and other models are going "east" of Texas... The next M-37 is off to Guatemala... Is that east of Texas?

Hey guys... Good luck to Interceptor as there are some cool ideas in this build. Cheers....

That’s badass. When do you plan to pop the first 42 Tony?

She is moving along and will have the first on the water hopefully by the end of the year. Stay tuned. I will post a few pics soon.

Sounds like someone who doesn't run a business. Must not understand how much COGS have risen since 2019.

 

[Done-it-again]

true, but also the price of the boat has risen since 2019..... Margins still stay the same.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

I said nothing about your margins. I didn’t know an Escalade was the same price as a Tahoe.

Your boats cost more to make, and your operation costs more to run, does it not? You command top tier prices in the marketplace because you are among the best of breed.

Others without a top tier name do not.

I know you understand this.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Sounds like someone who doesn't run a business. Must not understand how much COGS have risen since 2019.

Would you like to make a wager that this boat is/will be cheaper than a similar sized DCB?

I didn’t think so.

 

[CMU_LATER]

true, but also the price of the boat has risen since 2019..... Margins still stay the same.

Tony can chime in but I can almost guarantee prices have not risen at the same rate due to not pricing customers out of the market. plus take into account cost of moving an entire facility to Arizona. Cost of labor going up especially skilled. Margins are likely not the same pre covid.

 

[CMU_LATER]

I was talking about margains not boat price. Of course this boat will be cheaper than an M37 its new to the market and they need to get some boats on the water.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Where was I taking about margins? You just said exactly what I said. Tony brought up margins. This boat will be cheaper than a DCB.

We are in violent agreement.

 

[HCP3]

I think it was when you said this:

There are giant margins in that size of a boat...

 

[CMU_LATER]

They aren’t selling this Havasu people. There are giant margins in that size of a boat, and tons of buyers outside Havasu.

right here genius

Let’s get real, they aren’t taking it in the shorts. They raised their prices to maintain their margins. The government handouts over the last 3 years went to the top.

The top is who buys expensive boats. No one selling luxury items reduced their margins in the last 4 years.

Bernard Arnault did not become the richest/2nd richest person on earth by reducing his margins the last 4 years.

Did they (DCB) have costs associated with a move that affected their margins, sure.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

I think it was when you said this:

Because there are . 10% on a $750k boat is $75k. Even if a boat business is running on 10% margins (lol what business manufacturing things runs on 10% margins), Interceptor would have to make 3 boats to make that much money.

They have a ton of margin to play with to undercut on price to enter the market. They did the EXACT same thing when they started.

There was a thread on here about it because the Interceptor deck was like $40-$50k cheaper than a Nordic at the time.

Which again goes back to my point.. they are either building it at a loss (no), or boat building is like any other business on earth, where you need to make at least 20 points minimum to survive and grow.

 

[Singleton]

Would you like to make a wager that this boat is cheaper than a similar sized DCB?

100% ICB will be cheaper.

End of day, those with the cash to purchase a 36’ boat usually start elsewhere. At 36’ your population of buyers is limited. This reminds me of the Ultra 344. Great lines, design, BUT it was introduced at the wrong time. The economy was slowing down when JW rolled out the 344 and the majority of current Ultra owners were looking for something else they could move into that was not going to crush their budget. The retooled deck on the 27 with a windshield and the 29 with a windshield had awesome designs (saw both), but they were not built, the 344 was. I truly believe if the 27 and 29 were introduced, JW might still be building boats as a side business. But the 344 was built, it stretched the company financially and limited orders were taken (I think 3 in total and all 3 were cancelled - customer backed out due to economy). That was the start of JW getting out of boat building.

I wish ICB well. Andrew is a solid guy who does what he says. I just think A smaller version first would grow the company quicker.

They see the writing on the wall. Bigger boats on the eastern part of the country are the future. You can’t build a business dependent on Havasu boaters.

This is going to be the standard size baller boat in a few years. Look how many 34+ foot MTIs and DCBs are running around Havasu now. These guys take their boats all over the country to boat, and in the ocean. The MTI events in Florida are unreal.

Something smaller does not work for the client they are targeting.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

Only on RDP can it go from talk about a new boat entering the market, back to how much shit costs, and whos making how much.... UN FKN REAL...... Always the same people making the same shit posts EACH AND EVERY TIME

@Tony DCB Boats I had to fly back from PHX last night as I could tell I was getting sick. Will miss the open house, but looking forward to the pics! Have a great weekend sir!

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

You brought up margins in post 13, the post Tony quoted of yours.

Context is a thing.

The thread or the post wasn’t about Tony and DCB’s margins

Interceptor will have margin in this boat to undercut on price and get the name out to market because they are an unknown.

That was the context of what I said.

Again, does a Tahoe cost as much as an Escalade? Which one has more margin in it?
