Why are DCB's so expensive?

[Tony DCB Boats]

That right there is it in a nutshell….

Helps they have someone like you as the public face, how you act towards and treat others is well known and an extremely valuable asset to the brand.

Thank you as we have an impeccable team here and we all care about building the best we can. Means a lot!

We are still going to have the 42 Center Console in the next two to three years, but we are spraying and laminating the first M-42 right now. It is in the booth. We are tooling an M-34R as we speak. (True Tunnel smaller version of the M-37R) We have another project as we speak for the big inboard Mercury QC4V coming as well.

Stay tuned with the future models coming.

Might be a dumb question....

Just how much smaller would the 34 be compared to a 37? Would it be a noticeable size difference if you are comparing a Hallett 210 vs 240? Just seeing what cost savings are there to the consumer in building one just a few feet shorter.

Or is it more than just the cost, but the overall driving of the boat being different. IDK, never driven or ridden in anything like what you build.

34'-4' overall feet long and 10'-2" beam. The 37 is almost 38' overall and a 10'-6" beam.

We had one and it was the best boat we have ever had totally solid no rattle's or squeak's. And it was 25 years old. Well done DCB.

 

[77charger]

I couldn’t afford one but I’ll say this. There’s people lined up to buy new and will buy used ones all day.

Now even if I could afford one I’d still look at other boats but that’s along ways away lol.

 

[blue wonder]

Any chance a M25 or M26 would ever be made???…I love the M-series but the 28 is just too big for the river down where I’m at, I have a Mach 22 with twins now and love it but it’s getting too small, stupid wakeboard boats!!!

There are a few great videos on YouTube interviewing Tony and the rest of the team at DCB about a year ago. Powerboat talk, boats and bros, speed on the water etc I believe Tony said the team was tossing around the idea and possibly being created before the CC. @Tony DCB Boats can correct me if I’m wrong, I’m sure it’s still under lock and key for now!

I’d like to see one of these too!

Neither one of these things comes cheap.

Where can I get black socks with DCB logos? @hallett21

At least I could own a dcb at that price

Somebody say it...

Go be poor someplace else

I see some twin outboard DCB's in the $700K range, how is that possible?

Wonder how hard it would be to fill the big hole in the deck

I had Rons In Your Ear fill in my F32 and make it a closed deck a few years back. The work they did was incredible and you would never know it was an open bow prior, but it was costly. Not sure it would be worth it on that hull, but it is totally do-able.

Normal wear?

I have owned three DCBs (can be found in readers ride section of forum). They are unbelievable boats. Every single time I have taken them out I am smiling ear to fucking ear. I would highly encourage any performance boater to own one at least once. This is not a guarantee and I am not a financial advisor but everyone I have owned has appreciated. They make an incredible custom performance boat.

Great boats and we would love to have this size back in the market. We did sell the molds to Adrenaline (west coast). Josh and Cherilyn Noack have one and they love it.

As of now we have our M-28R which can be a single inboard or twin outboard.

Josh and Cherilyn did a nice job putting that boat together. Works well.

Each one is like a piece of art.
The custom touches can’t be touched by other builders. The QC and details can’t be touched.

When people ask why does X cost so much money, they have zero idea what it takes to build.

You want the best, you pay the best to build it. Looks inside the offices, DCB has some of the most experienced in the business building the boats.

I’ll never forget the time you showed me how to properly drive our Mach22. I think you were the only one smiling.

Great vid.

Dude - someone had to knock the dust off of that 300X. LOL

 

[FROGMAN524]

When is that first new 42 hitting the water?

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

If I win the lotto I’m gonna find out what it would take to entice DCB to build a v-bottom to the same standards as all their cats.

 

[rightytighty]

I have to add a zero to the DCB's cost if I built them.

Me and a buddy replaced the engine in his lavey and changed the gimble bearing in the outdrive . At current California Minimum Wage , we'd have had to charge $50K labor plus the parts.

And I'm pretty sure my restored Mandella has an M41 hidden in it...lol!

Needless to say, our dreams of opening a boat shop in retirement were dashed...

 

[HALLETT BOY]

When I was looking to purchase a 27 V , my choices were DCB , Howard and Hallett . I’ve worked on various boat brands of my friends , but when I work on my Hallett , especially in areas with closed off panels , I smile at the craftsmanship that went into building my boat .
Quality does cost and it lasts .
