Challenger DDC 33
 

Any Info on Challenger Boats? My brother is looking at a 2001Challenger DDC 33. I was told that the Hull was designed for Challenger by Fountain. There is not a Challenger thread, or I would of posted there. Any Info would be appreciated.

out of buisness junk

Actually ,,i think a great boat !!!!!

A friend of mine had a 28 RACEBOAT from them a couple years back and it kicked @ZZ.

Good ruff water runing as well.

It was a Harry Schoell ( sp ? ) design.

Correct Harry Schoel designed the DDC (Duo Delta Conic) hull. I raced against a 28 in Ft. Myers 1999 in E Class. It was out in front until it spun out.

I have a 04 28 DDC that I ordered brand new and have had good luck with it. Hate to think of my boat as junk, but I know everyone has there own opinions and experiences. I guess i was lucky that my boat turned out well.

Nice looking rig!

No, I think they were good boats. I don't know of any issues with them... and they looked good.

Not enough beak to be a Fountain :drink:

Thanks

Yep the lines/looks of the 28 Challanger is very nice. It is a big 28 too. I know Challanger was a lot more popular in the midwest and the only one I saw was the 1999 E Class race boat. It was fast...faster than the 26 Scarab I had at the time and it was built a lot better too. AJ Smith was the driver.
I wonder where the molds are and if anyone will use them to build boats?

Did Fountain do any of the design work on these boats? I'm not seeing any resemblance

I don't think Fountain had anything to do with Challenger Boats.

No...Harry Schol designed the hull. It is called a DDC ( Duo Delta Conic).

We have a Challenger DDC 33 and we love it!!! Best riding and handling boat we ever owned!

Sweet ride

Thanks Dykstra, Just spent 7 days down at LOTO over the 4th of July. Damm thats a rough lake, but the boat handled well. Had a great week down there.

Hey Therapy Session --- I think that boat of yours looks familiar.

You know... this year my old patroil boat could only "run with you"... but next season.... Your gonna be drinking spray... that is if I dont spin out!

I bought 2 boats from a marina that won a few national championships in a challenger. The guy who owned the marina was the throttle man when they raced. He said it was the best boat hull he had ever run and he has driven a lot of performance boats.
I also saw a gold one with a great paint job at the Chicago boat show a few years ago. The boat good and the company people at the booth were really nice.

I must say... I have a DDC-28 1997 model and really like it. It is built like a tank in my opinion.. It is an EX Missouri Water Patrol boat I purchased and am redoing as a project. Mine according to some reading here on OSO is either number 11 or 12 that came from Harry Schoels production run in Ohio. It is rock solid and thick. It has the original 454 Mag carb engine with nearly 1900 hours on it and runs spotless. I have all service records since inception documenting hours and maintenance.. I replaced the bravo three it originally had with a bravo 1 and she will run just at 60mph. Boat AND trailer before I added the cuddy interior and stereo system weighed in at 7325 pounds. So mine is Not a light boat. I have built a fresh 500EFI long block for it that is on the stand and am now planning on going with a blower as I want some speed out of her. Anyone familiar with these boats with 500-750 hp? Maybe 500 will be enough?

Enforcer, Get in touch w/ Paul Everett @ everettperformance.com he can probably tell you how to maximize the performance of your hull. He built it! (in ohio) And for the record Reggie had nothing to do with the ddc boats from challenger!

TY Golf. :drink: Excellent link.. I will probably be needing some hyd. steering and it looks like he sells it. All the more reason to give him a call. Of all the boats I have been in, on drilling holes in etc. this one is the stoutest, most braced I have been around... maybe because it was built to be used for commercial (enforcement) ? She Was a plain jain though!
