This thing is over the TOP bad ass!!

[Tank]

DCB is not only at the top of their game, I'd wager to say they are at the top of THEE game. I'd say it would be a close call between Cigarette Racing and DCB as to who is the leaders of the industry in the fit, finish and attention to detail arena but holy crap, I don't think I've ever seen a boat that so closely compares more to art than your typical boat.

Truly, amazing work. How's the back lit Mercury symbol on the M8 drives too? Only down side is I seriously wouldn't even want to put this thing in the water for fear of it getting messy. Couldn't imagine climbing out of the lake after a swim and plopping down all wet into that interior.

I was just checkin this out on sotw. Pretty sweet ride! And its headed to Oklahoma. We have some pretty sweet boats in OK now, and there seems to be more headed this way all the time!
One day when i grow up, maybe I'll be able to swing a big boy boat!

 

[spectras only]

We have our two days event Peach City cruise on the beachfront in Penticton with 840 cars registered. While cruising on Lakeside road, checking out the hardware, an orange DCB, M35 or M41 shows up on the lake, doing some high speed passes, pleasuring the crowd with beautiful music from its engines. don't know who the owner is, could be Rob Blair from Alberta?! There's a marked swimming area on the waterfront that lined with motels, so the boat was a bit far out to make a good video.

 

[Blackmagic94]

Impressive. They should put their logo on the steering wheel though

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Very impressed with this boat. All the details are just over the top.

My favorite line was that he builds a new DCB every 2 years. Most of my T-shirt’s are older than that.
That is one bad ass boat. Can’t wait to see it up close. Hope he’s coming out West for the regatta or monster storm.

I’d need another job or 3!

Personally I think the DCB's are all starting to look the same , One of the things I like about Eliminators is you know what it is but they are all different

I would actually agree with this, to a point. They need to change up their paint schemes. They seem to follow the same basic foundational style. Not taking away from the painters at DCB because the quality of paint, colors and lay-out is amazing but you have to wonder when one of the most noteworthy DCB's in recent memory wasn't even painted by DCB (Lickity Split) or is a stark separation from what's usually produced like the new all white and black 44.

If you look at boat companies over the years (and currently), many builders follow a successful design most likely from buyers seeing other's boats and liking the paint design and going with a "similar paint scheme". But I think the main culprit a lot of the time is they wind up using one person's vision and design (that person in charge of paint / design) that may use different colors or change slightly but you can always tell when boats are being produced time and time again with the same general look. I can name many manufacturers that have fallen into this pattern.

I actually like the fact they used purple. The gel looks pretty badass.
I wouldn’t want to own a boat in those colors myself...too hot, a pain to maintain. But looks great...in someone else’s driveway

How did they backlight the merc logo

UMMM! I disagree, Eliminator does the same thing, like most builders, maybe more so than DCB. I have owned 3 different Eliminators and each ones gel scheme was duplicated 5 to 8 times minimum, depending which boat of mine it was. Wasn't always the same colors, but the exact same gel scheme was used multiple times.

Hats off to the DCB Team on this build... WOW.

My thoughts exactly.

But that boat is just about the opposite end of "practicality spectrum" as you can get. It is gorgeous though!

I think the only thing I MIGHT do differently would be do go lighter on the interior. Maybe lighter gray tones or something mixed it?

Agreed though, hats off to DCB. Killer looking package

That is a really nice boat but build quality doesn't compare to a MTI. DCB are like chevys MTI is the ferrari,Lamborgini of boats.

Just confirmed with Jeff, it's actually just a reflection from the LED at the top of the swim step. But I get creative rights for giving the idea on their next build. LOL

Have you looked down the side of an MTI & then a DCB? Fit and finish? There is a reason the DCB is more expensive pound for pound. Have you been in each, assessed and driven each? Two completely bad ass boats, saying DCB is like a chevy and MTI is a ferrari, Lambo is simply laughable. But that is my 2 cents and you have your opinion.

I have to disagree with you. I transport all the major brands and DCB is right at the top. But everyone has their own opinions.

I've been in and driven both on various occasions. I like MTI's a lot. Very nice running and looking boats. Proven on the race course and they do some bitchen custom builds as well and Randy is a SUPER cool dude to top things off. Their CC's are pretty hard to beat right now as well. Saying you like one over the other is one thing, like Glock vs Sig or Ford vs Chevy. Comparing an MTI to a Lambo and DCB to a Chevy is just ridiculous. And I stand with my original post. Go look at the fit, finish, attention to detail and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone that does better than DCB right now. Specifically attention to detail type stuff. I'm no DCB fan boy either and I'll never own one (I'm a big Vee guy). Just my observation from being in, crawling around and driving a lot of different performance boats.

I love the MTI's too Tank. I have not had the luxury of driving one yet, or racing one..LOL. I think they are simply outstanding to say the least. A good friend of mine is building a new MTI, I can't wait to get in it. I agree with you, Randy is such a nice guy. He has lent us dock space and helped us out on a few occasions. I really appreciate nice people in the boating world, like your friend AJ, who has busted his ass to keep us boating on big weekends. Hope to be able to meet you at one of these dang boating events soon.

Cheers,

Bo

Tank, what is the difference [ huge or small ] in hull integrity, stiffness for serious ocean boating between the two? Like cars, torsional rigidity is important, especially if one wants to track a car.
We all know, Bugatti has one of the highest torsional spec, albeit they never enter one in a race.
If I boat in rough waters, ocean or lakes with huge swells, I'd choose a structurally sound hull over a supremely detailed flawless hull. DCB's are the most beautiful, no doubt.

As BlackMagic pointed out....DCB's are not meant for running in the ocean per se. Doesn't mean you can't. It's just not the most comfortable ride with a smaller tunnel and a center pod. The greatest thing about that "opinion" or statement is that DCB has no qualms with it. They never claim to be anything other than what they are. They build a fantastic, well performing machine and really, if sales are any indication of their success, they don't really need to justify or explain anything. Pretty sure the lay-up on both boats is similar - Fiberglass.

In the end, MTI's are fuckin' awesome. DCB's are fuckin awesome. If I was looking at million+ dollar cat, I'd actually have a tough time choosing.

Well, maybe not, I'd go buy a 50 Mystic and call it a day. LOL

 

[Tank]

LOL...Now we start comparing strengths and weaknesses of boats. Skater, race bread, tried and true grand-daddy of the cat. If I had to guess I'd say SKater has ben splashed more than all the other competition combined. What's that saying, imitation is the highest form of flattery or something along those lines.

 

[spectras only]

Lol DCBs are lake boats only.

You put it bluntly

 

[Tank]

All of the M-Series DCBs are over the top beautiful! They just keep perfecting their designs & getting better every year! Carlos is amazing with his interior designs & the rigging Dept. is obviously top notch & has been for many years now, while the colors & designs on the gel coats always look great! Adrenaline is also doing a fantastic job on their designs because the trailer on this M35 looks amazing with all the small attention to detail, logos, fenders & wheels. Just a great looking performance boat, that will turn heads everywhere! MTI, Skater, Eliminator etc. are all awesome in their own ways, but this thread was supposed to just be about this new M35 & it looks fantastic! [emoji1305]

I will go as far as to say Carlos is at the top of his game in the industry. I was very impressed when Skip Braver (Cigarette Racing) reached out to lil ol Carlos at his shop and brought him all the way to Florida to do their boats interiors. Carlos is a Ca guy though and found himself back out this way and landed back at DCB. He brings a lot of talent and over-all excellence to the brand.

Buddy of mines new boat...

 

[Tank]

Hey Tank, I don’t know how you feel, but I’ve always had a certain ‘Wow’ factor every time I see a Skater 388 or 40ss at DS. There’s just something about those boats, maybe it’s just the overall massive size of them? Tilted up on their trailers, the paint schemes etc., or both? But at DS 2018, seeing the Skater 388 ‘Pure Platinum’ I really just look at that boat in amazement. Also, the Lamborghini MTI & MTI 52 Panty Dropper are also just stunning in person. I always look at those boats in awe & wish I was fortunate enough to own one of them. What are your thoughts?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely! I gotta say, both of Gino's Lambo boats were over the top. Little gimmicky but still insane. I REALLY like the new Panty Dropper. So nicely done and classy. Pyburn always builds awesome machines from the Golddigger Outerlimits (which didn't run well) to his Pure Platnum boats. Like I said in another thread on this subject - They are all drop dead gorgeous boats and are all over the top insane. But for me, I have got to pay respect for the minute attention to detail DCB is putting into their builds. And lets not forget that it is that attention to detail they put in that has been largely responsible for pushing brands like Skater, MTI, Nor-Tech and others to up their game when it comes to creature comforts and details. It's been well documented in boating publications of the performance aspect of east coast boats and the rigging (fit and finish) of west coast boats. Not too long ago, Skaters were not more than a race boat with cushy interior. MTI has always been a little more plush than Skater but it hasn't been until recent years they've really upped their game, Nor-Tech, same thing. Again, not my intention to pick one over the other in general. Just to point out that DCB's rigging, interior and attention to detail in fit and finish is just over the top and sets the bar very high. Every time I see one of their boats revealed it just makes me think they are at the top of their game.

 

[DEEZNUTS]

I appreciate the attention to detail, but its not my style at all. I find myself being more attracted to the east coast builders lately. Function over form.

Kinda tired of the gaudy bro stuff coming out of the west coast.

 

[wiredguy]

UMMM! I disagree, Eliminator does the same thing, like most builders, maybe more so than DCB. I have owned 3 different Eliminators and each ones gel scheme was duplicated 5 to 8 times minimum, depending which boat of mine it was. Wasn't always the same colors, but the exact same gel scheme was used multiple times.

Congrats to the DCB crew on delivering another killer piece. You have to admit it's a pretty awesome time in the performance boating world when you look at all the available options a person looking to build a custom boat has to choose from. This year at DS my wife fell in love with the White/Black/Red Doug Wright 360 and I admit after seeing it in person I see why she is in love....hell of a boat. LoL first thing she said was "and it would match our OL perfectly color wise". So obviously I need not worry about shopping around since our next boat has already been decided for me!

 

[Enen]

Congrats to the new owners. May they create many memories with their beautiful new DCB.

That's really what boating is about, right? Will I create better memories in a DCB or an MTI?

 

[River Lynchmob]

I have to agree with Tank. DCB is a show piece, work of art or what ever you want to call it. There is nothing that is overlooked during the design and build. That being said I am not a DCB guy. I used to think it would be great to own one of these big power cats from MTI, Skater, Nor-Tech, OL etc. Now that I have a family and seeing the people that have unfortunately met their demise driving these boats I have shied away from them and I think that the CC is the way to go without a doubt. Like Enen said, it's about making memories and I think that can be done in any boat. All of that being said I would love to see what DCB could dream up in the CC world.

 

[MooreMoney]

I really dig the interior. Beautiful machine and I am sure the colors really POP in the sun. Wow
