M33 twin 400R's Lake Powell

[Tony DCB Boats]

M33 build for a Prior DCB customer, had a F29 with 525's. Will be home at Lake Powell. You can see this boat at the Lake Havasu Boatshow in April.

Carbon/Kevlar and Carbon fiber lamination.

Feed lines done.

Starting Infusion process.

About half way thru infusion, a typical hull takes about an hour to pull all the resin thru.

All M33 comes standard with Carbon/Kevlar, 100% Carbon fiber and Foam coring.

Carbon Schedules.

Bottom infusion Complete.

Starting taping the deck.

All M33 liners are also Carbon and foam composites.

We build all our bulkheads from Scratch, they are vacuum infused too.

Bulkheads going in.

Most hulls stay 5-6 weeks in the mold.

Hull is complete, we turn them over and blueprint the bottom of every boat.

Rigging process has started, Typically it will be two guys 4-5 weeks in rigging.

The infusion process is even a work of art. Amazing craftsmanship from DCB.

 

[McKay]

Awesome! Cant wait to check this out!

The materials in this layup must be at least 50% more expensive than a typical fiberglass lay up!

You are close... Part of the cost is materials, but most of the process is labor and time. Our boats are in the mold for 4-6 weeks depending on the size and lay-up that particular boat. Thanks for noticing the details.

What is the benefit of infusion in layman's terms? My best guess it allows for a better/consistent application of resin throughout the fabric. No clue.

The process is better and stronger then the standard hand lay-up. (low VOC's too)
Excess resin is actually weaker and heavier. Infusion pulls the resin through the lay-up and coring from the center to the flange with optimum and better saturation.

Carpet is gorgeous! Possibly too light? He is going to love my kids riding in the boat with Cheetos. HAHA

Guess there are no doubts now on why you guys are the bar everyone shoots for...very cool inside view of what goes into these.

 

[Don Johnson]

Got to see this boat this week, it is stunning!

 

[Tony DCB Boats]

DCB builds all of their own wire harnesses for every boat. We also use digital and electric switching in the M-33 standard (as shown)

Beautiful boat with what seems to me would be a great combo. Never been an OB guy but I feel like the church is converting me.

One question I've always had with OB's is why is there so much seemingly unused space between back seat and transom? Is this a looks thing, cockpit practicality or is there functional purpose to it? Just seems wasted when you could almost get an additional couple of seats or something by changing the layout.

We at DCB, have a custom tub set-up to accomodate storage in the center and a place to store all six buoys with the Fleece DCB sleeves mounted on our own pin cleats (three on each side). Also, the cockpit and the seating and where we tooled it has everything to do with the center of gravity on the boat. Both the M-28 and M-33 have this system on the outboard set-up.

Great question! And thanks!

As AWESOME as the pictures, and attention to detail are, riding in one of these is an unforgetable experience. They are so sold, handle so well, that it is unlike any other boating experience. I say riding because i've never owned,but several friends do, and after being in 100's of boats, over 52 years, it was a life experience to go for a run in an M series. All that build work that we never see really matters when you move at the speeds these boats do!!! As a side note, if any of you ever get to go with Tony at the wheel, no one handles a cat like him!!!!!

Love the simple gel design that is timeless. Could be my favorite DCB to date.
