It's a "convertible" open bow with a removable hard top. The details on this boat (right down to the carpet) are absolutely insane..

It's all downhill from here boys.

I told Tony the same. I really dislike open bows, but I recognize the need for them, just like my bimini top..=) This is the best of both worlds, big crew and you take the top off for the weekend. Small crew and want to run hard, bam, closed bow.

The only people at the fit and finish level of DCB is Adrenaline, and even then I am not sure. Perfection just oozes out of these. When every bolt is polished AND clocked the same. It is just at a different level.

Hopefully one day I can build one. Great job Tony and crew!

So i'm not typically a big boat guy, let alone something that costs as much as 2-3 houses, but holy shit that thats amazing.

Talk about the nailing the details. The colors took about 2 seconds for me to get used to, but they really work well, esp with the metallic in them.

I like it 👍🏼

Is there a little passage to crawl up to the open bow from the cockpit? Hard to tell, but it looks like middle section of the bow seats might fold down for access.

Thank you RD. I will post some pics after the Gator Step was installed... That is one of the hardest things to get right now on time.

HOLY HELL TONY. You guys step it up every build. How big is the open bow out of curiosity?

Tony, not sure if you made the delivery to Lake Hartwell, but I wanted you to know there’s gators in that lake - lots of brackish - just in case you go back !!!

Love the mostly non-alcantara seats and look…carpet! My favorite part of these incredible builds, besides admiring how utterly awesome they are, is counting how many model numbers are on the boat and trailer. NOT saying there’s anything wrong with that, just a fun game I play. I count (19) M37R’s on this bad boy. 😎 Might be a record, I don’t know. When I hit the powerball I’ll gladly top that number.

I’m gonna be picky here

The stereo, just above the throttle has 4 screws that don’t fit the boat. Looks last min out of place.

Only thing I see wrong lol

Awesome boat

Over the top! Great job Tony. I hate open bow cats, but the convertible aspect makes this boat perfect!

Would be cool to see how the remove that piece for the bow. You can’t even tell it’s there when it’s on!

@Tony DCB Boats does that cover for the seats have a storage spot or is it kind of like if you want to use the seats you have to take the piece off and leave it at home before launching.

We cut the bow and put the deck back into the mold and custom build the flange. Then we X-brace the deck piece we cut to keep the shape and integrity. Very labor intensive. The flange has a drain in all four corners and is strong to hold the deck cover piece. We supplied window style suction cups so he can lift it off and store in his custom garage. The lid only weighs about 20-25 pounds. We put inserts into the flange and the lid is bolted down and won't come until you want to remove it.

Thank you for all of the compliments and we are proud of this one and all of the other custom boats we build. Small shop but we do great things here.

You guys at DCB are going to get to the point of having to put wings on them and make them fly as well if you keep this up.😉

Just beautiful and outstanding work!

@Tony DCB Boats thanks for explaining that! As always you guys are killing it!
With how talented you guys are thought I’d ask maybe you had a secret compartment to hold the piece if you decided to open the bow while you are out.
Like many have said the more you look at the pictures the more details you notice!

Has that mold taken a break since you got it? Ha congrats to you and the team!

We are on #14 now and we have 17 in the queue. She is a winner for sure. The mold is busy. Jeff and I are flying to the 1000 Islands PR this weekend.

how do you actually get people into the front area? they have to climb over the windshield?

that stitch pattern on the seats is freakin nice. pretty cool how all those different materials/textures/patterns come together without being too "wild"

There is no cabin on the true tunnel like our boats with the pod in the center. It is easy to access to the open bow. You climb up the stairs in the middle of the back seat and walk out on the Gator Step, then walk on the outside of the window the to bow. The boat is 10'-6" wide and it is designed to walk around. No need to climb on the dash and step over the window unless you want to.

Wasn’t he designing a rear lounger not front lounger? Or did I miss something lol
You're correct, his [I believe] 34' design has two rear facing lounge seats which we are still waiting to see.... he's a quite type.... there was a comment quite some time ago that the build was for a friend of a guy on RDP and all has gone quiet now and nothing on Instagram lately.

I saw him this weekend at Foxs but didn't get a chance to ask. I was on my ski dropping off a battery to a friend that was stuck there.

Thanks to the red pontoon that towed them back to Echo. It ended up being the starter. They got swapped Saturday and were back up and running.

Next level always coming out of DCB. Awesome work Tony and Crew. Hope to do business with you someday if I ever get silly money. Speaking of which CA Mega Millions Lotto is up to $530 Million this week. Fingers crossed!

Nice looking boat!! Where/how do they keep track of water pressure?
They can configure either of the vessel view or garmin or all three to show water pressure on each engine. Options are pretty endless how you want to display any engine parameter you can think of.

Amazing boat. Love the colors. Curious if we can see pics of one loaded up with life vest, towels, soft ice chest? See all the secret compartments.
