Thanks to Wayne Betty for redoing the interior on the DCB. It is 11 years old and time for some new vinyl. Here are some before and after photos. His craftmanship is better than the original stitching. The vinyl was always my least favorite part of the boat. He did the job just like I wanted it, if you don't like the color or design, it was my design not his. Thanks again to EB Marine in Nashville.

Holy sh!t, that looks great. I saw the first pic and first thought that was the upgrade...I was thinking, "ooooookay"...Then I scrowled down and saw the actual new interior:grinser010::grinser010:...WOW! Looks awesome.

By the way, sorry to get off track. I see you have an F34. How do you like it? I know they didn't build very many because some didn't like the way it performed. What are you seeing with that power. Awesome set up man. Very nice looking ride.

SkiDoc 01-21-2012 07:07 PM

Tank,
The 34 is pretty heavy and was not real fast with lower power levels. Mine had all the bottom modifications by Dave and it is a pretty good
handler. It is a deep tunnel and handles the rough very well. Has a significant hop in smooth water between 80-100 that can be removed with the tunnel tab. The boat really starts to feel great over 100. It also leans to the outside between 35 and 65, otherwise leans inside. It's handling really improved with higher propeller height and the SSM props. Tres Martin really taught me how to handle the boat well. You can ask him about it at Desert Storm. He'll tell you exactly what it felt like.
I think the boat was never popular out west because it is not nimble
enough to be fun in the narrower lakes. DCBs 32, 31 are centerpods, very fast and nimble, with great characteristics. As for
the speed, I'll have to keep that under my hat.

HAHAHA! I hear ya on the speed. :grinser010:

I noticed the pod on the 34 is very small (almsot not even there). Sounds like you got it dialed in just right. Congrats! And again, the interior came out tits! Looks like a new boat!

Speaking of Desert Storm...You bringing it out?

Wayne does great work for sure... I saw your seats in his shop 3-4 times while he was putting it together! Love the Carbon Fiber for sure and the emblems looked perfect... Hope to see ya at a poker run in the area this summer!

SkiDoc 01-23-2012 08:09 PM

Thanks guys, one of the best things about refurbishing the interior was that my wife really likes it. She could care less what the power is(sorry Eddie), but she likes this. I was thinking about some of the inlaid carpet but every orange in carpet I've seen bleeds and fades like crazy. DCB gave me the name of the company they used to do theirs and told me they're something like 3000. I think it's cool but not worth it.
I think interior upgrade is a lot of bang for the buck.

wrinkleface 01-23-2012 08:19 PM

Real nice!!! Congratz!:coolcowboy:

Jay Gadsby 01-23-2012 10:48 PM
