New 33 out of the mold
#32
Actually a little under 3" but the air intake (cutout) makes it look bigger. Same hull in other picture. I gel and skin the V-bottom mold and then set and adjust the step accordingly and lay up the boat. We pull the part and flip it, cut the skin off and there is the DDC! Next step is to blue print the piece you see with the step.

If I had an order for one I would walk down the street to where Harry Schoell resides and have him advise me and build according to his design.
This was precisely what I did when we built the 33 with outboards. The man knows his stuff.

just asking is the single step in a DDC bottom placed closely in the area of the driver and passenger seats ? I would think gas tank size and placement of it would also effect the placement of the step in a DDC hull.

It's directly under the driver/front passengers' feet. Advantage: 20, 50, 80 mph, it ALWAYS pivots right there; exactly where you expect. We've posted some additional info on this in the past.

Thanks Brian as you know I had some of this info from Challenger. I already know what you are going say as not the same the bottom. I hear you. I still have my 2007 Challenger DDC 28. The boat is rock solid and weighes dry at 5850 lbs. The boat handles rough water conditions a lot better than my Velocity 280 but not as fast with almost same hp ratings. I am a true believer that the DDC hull (single step) works very well in the rough is my point here. Thanks again for all the info.

I would never ever put all that high dollar paint on a boat again either.
