At least 1200s.

thisistank 03-07-2009 07:31 PM

Are they going to actually race now? Maybe justify those "skater/MTI/Nor-Tech" prices with some wins on the race course!

It'll be nice to see one running instead of sitting in the channel all day!:eek::drink::food-smiley-007:

Im glad someone else feels the same way..still a calm water boat to me

customryder 03-07-2009 11:52 PM

calm water? I would guess these are built to a very standard.. & could do well as the rest of the 35' boats.

TeamSaris 03-08-2009 03:30 PM

Unless they built this one w/o a center pod it wont. It may handle better at low speed but thats it.

BAJA WILL 03-08-2009 10:39 PM

Nice, but what power??? 1075's stock????

DrewDown 03-09-2009 12:08 AM

Bob teague 1200's. Looked great on the water and took a nice set at speed.

Looks like they were doing more than just "testing" the boat:grinser010:

The chick on the left was probably paid for the shoot with a gram of meth.

I have been in the ocean on two different DCB's...

...and let's just say that neither one came back in the same condition as they left...lol.

I think that M35 is a very good looking boat, though.

cosmetic stuff or are you talking structural...

I don't think Dave ever intended his stuff to run (or race) offshore. DCB made a name for itself with great looking rigging, but it takes more than evenly spaced zip-ties to hold up in rough water...

...like through-bolting stuff...lol.

I have heard they have improved their layup schedule, so that probably fixed any glass issues from a couple years ago.

IMHO, building a cat for offshore is a different animal. Once again, up until now, I don't think Dave (or most of his customers) ever intended his stuff to be run hard offshore, but you'll have to ask him.

That is freakin funny right there!!!

I don't know how well they hold up in rough water, but Dave builds some of the prettiest, best rigged boats of anyone. You pay for it, but you're getting something for your money.

Haha, get em Tank! :drink:

What do they charge for their boats? I've never shopped them, but I can't imagine they price them with the Offshore cats? I always figured they were priced in line with Eliminators or similar?

DollaBill 03-09-2009 11:27 AM

From what I hear they are calm water-only boats.

Prices are pretty steep. F32 with Teague 1100's listed for over $571K in powerboat mag.

If you think there just for smooth water come with me for a ride...... but mines a deep tunnel

I saw pictures of one that came back from some rough stuff and there were some issues. But the boats are very nice looking

I thought their F34 was the closest thing to a true "offshore" cat they had. But I guess it didn't perform as well as they wanted and it didn't sell as well. They made a KILLING on those F29's and F32's.

Yea, that's why I always questioned their website:

Hey I've seen some conditions on lakes like Havasu, Mead, Grand Lake etc where the waves are pretty ugly....tons of cross chop, wind waves, whitecaps, feels like a washing machine. So assuming those conditions only exist in the ocean /offshore is not totally accurate. At least on the ocean there is some amount of predictability to the conditions....

customryder 03-09-2009 06:08 PM

I still say these are good boats... I seen stuff fall of my 06 cigarette.. on a lake!!!!:party-smiley-004:
