why are there 2 helm holes on this DCB? is it to have a driver and throttle man? do you just unbolt the helm and move it over? kinda cool... is it an option for all dcb's?

 

[DogNamedChevy]

great looking hardware out there! Thanks for posting up some pics

They messed up the first time on the installation.

IMCO makes that option. You can switch out the steering wheels to either side for docking. Or really for any other reason you would want to be operating from the other side.

 

[Paul65k]

My guess.......it looks like the place for the steering column is built into the dash mold......probably just added the plate to finish off the look.

Likely want to have the option available for people that want to drive from the left........like "real boats" (read Shiada)

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

Thanks for the pictures

 

[headshothills]

No prob peeps!! Sorry I didn't take more!!

To me, all the builders boats are looking the same as past years with the exception of the DCB's DCB seems to be pushing the envelope further and further and setting the bar higher and higher.

Can't argue with that thinking but...........I think that Nordic is really upping their game, maybe not so much in the game changing design but in the continual evolution and the major commitment to quality that they have seen in the past few years.

The build quality and hull designs are off the chart compared to any of the mainstream boat builders these days.......the difference between Nordic and say Eliminator, Advantage, Shockwave is not only night and day but more like yesterday and today

The truly custom builders like DCB, Schiada, Skater, etc... of course are in a completely different class IMHO

I really like schiada, but what's this revolutionary new custom design you speak of?

Agreed

Hope to see you next week.

So......I was taking about Nordic, but they are building very efficient designs, like a 24' Cat with a 300 XS outboard that will do 90 MPH out of the box for ~$85K according to them.

But what I'm talking about specifically is the commitment to detail......everything on their boats is top quality, through bolted with all top notch hardware and built well beyond what was considered acceptable in the class just a couple of years ago.....take a close look at a new Nordic and you will see what I mean.

I agree with you about Nordic, I was actually talking about Schiada.

Hard to explain the Schiada thing.....IMHO you either get it or you don't. I've met very few people that "Get it" if they haven't owned one, doesn't make them wrong just not on the same wavelength.

 

[attitude]

Didnt the exhaust originally come out of the top black hole areas on this boat?

Don't know if they did on this exact one, but they did on some. I think they stopped doing it for the most part, not sure of the reason.

 

[Taboma]

Those two black "Hole areas" you're referencing are functioning vents with internal flaps for vent air exiting the engine compartment. The air enters at two contoured intakes on either side of the rear seat area.

I appreciate your thoughts, we should talk boats someday...

That would be great.........Especially if it includes alcohol :thumbup:

Yes that one did. It was repowered last year with I believe Teague 1300's or bigger. The motors on that dcb are huge!

 

[HighVoltage329]

Nordic has really stepped up thier game. Came very close to pulling the trigger on the orange 28ss last year.

Orange w/red ?

I have a question for all you boat geniuses that frequent this website:

Could DCB make their 41 an inline tripple inboard with three 1350's?

There looks like theres enough room for a third engine in the middle of the other two. And because it's buit with a center pod a drive could be mounted in the middle of the boat. Humm??

Could likely make it fit but at some point you get into additional weight & Drag vs the increase in power to the water......at some point you get into diminishing returns.....not to mention the additional heat created by squeezing in the extra powerplant.......but it would be pretty cool:thumbup:

The center pod isn't deep enough to mount a drive . Also when it starts to pack air and lift the drive would end up out of the water.

When you look close at the new DCB boats they are like a high end sports car. Everything in place and perfectly put together. Who ever is putting these boats together in the shop better make sure they keep them. The workmanship is a 10!

 

[Flyinbowtie]

I don't know much about custom boats at all.
But I agree with what everyone else is saying, based on the pics we are seeing of the boats they are building DCB is taking things to another level, upping the ante. I know others are working at improving their products as well, but the pictures of these new M-boats speak volumes about what they are doing, and where they are going.
I cannot imagine how they top what they are doing now, but they always seem to find a way.

 

[Hammer]

I've been from the west coast to Florida and have seen every boat MFG on display. DCB is the nicest rigged boat out there IMO.

 

[ka0tyk]

dont get me wrong i love a nice tilted on its side million dollar DCB rig, but were there any small boats or flatbottoms at this boat show? some of the custom rigging those guys come up with is amazing. i love seeing stuff like that.

There was a 24' Schiada and Alexi's blown/turboed 21 RC. I didn't get a chance to walk around that much . I didn't notice any other than a couple at the ski race/boat show.
