The 33 Challenger got pretty poor ratings in handling and speed from what I read in a test article. I looked at a new 28 a few years back and it looked very cheaply built.

I've seen that boat many times. It's white and blue, and was in the Miami Boat Show. It has also been on eBay.
At the ECPR 2007, I attempted to help a kid who had just bought a new 28 Challenger. He had bunch of electrical issues. The entire cabin and under structure was built out of plywood spray painted black.

Yes, I know they are out of biz and pieces of crap. 
Just thought the ad was interesting because he wants to trade for a convertible, the hardware has to be worth something. So how did they end up with the DDC bottom? I thought AT patend it?

Pat, How can they use the DDC claim ? Based on what I have read on this forum, your DDC 33 was based on your 37. Do you have any idea where their 33 came from ?
The DDC hull is awesome and I think you have done an excellent job of moving it to the forefront of performance boating. Just curious how this company can do this.
Having had a few Miller Lights with you, I know you either have all the facts or an opinion.

I can't believe Pat or anybody else hasn't answered you guys so I will try. The DDC hull isn't Pats it was done and owened by Harry Schoule (sorry spelling not correct on his last name) he did the design and holds the patent. A.T. and Challanger have to pay for the rights to use it. But that doesn't meen they are the same boats, the A.T. is built to much higher standards and the performance #s speak for themselves. I hope I answered your questions. Pat I hope I didn't butcher it.
