The sad part about this thread is someone started it by asking a legit question based on their observations about why so many DCB's are for sale (personally I didn't really notice that there was or wasn't a spike nor have I compared it to other brands for sale) & it's gotten all sorts of sideways over which Cat is better than the other, faster, attention to detail, more sea worthy etc all of which are worth discussing IF the thread subject was "How do DCB's, Skaters & MTI's Compare" or something of that nature.
IMO the only fact mentioned in this thread is the fact that MY 2007 Skater 30 w/ ILMOR 710's & INDY drives is in fact for sale & I'd like to thank Daddy for that mention. You may find a link to my classified below!
With that said lets get back on subject or just move on if there's not really anything of substance that supports the thread subject!! I read the thread b/c I thought it was an interesting observation & was seeking answers as to why. Unfortunately I've learned allot about nothing related to the thread subject.

I agree with Nascat also. There are pro's and con's for all models. It is great to have so many builders to choose from! What ever floats your boat!

I am not saying that Skaters are not great boats, they are. I have driven many and enjoy them very much. Are they faster then a DCB HP to HP yea. Does a DCB have its strengths also, yes. Especially if you boat on inland waters which is what they were designed for. DCB's are not marketed as, nor am I saying, they are the fastest, or best built, or nicest boat around. Listen, for most people, there is always someone else faster and with a nicer boat. They simply do what they do very well, no more, no less.
I first responded to this thread simply pointing out that some DCB's that were for sale have sold at what I believe is a pretty good price from a value retention perspective. The value of used well optioned DCB's seem to have increased this year which is great for DCB owners.
So many people want to get into a pissing match and create drama by making comments like training wheels, windshield design and how a boater uses/enjoys their boat. That said we enjoy the attention to detail and performance DCB places in the construction of their boats. I could have bought a Skater but for now this boat fits the bill for me. Additionally, for my family we do most of our boating on Colorado river and lakes where beaching our boat is commonplace and we prefer the ease of a capsule boat vs a windshield boat. It is a matter of preference, why do people have to get personal by launching salvos and pick apart what turns one person on vs another.
