Tae this comment as you want, because I'm not 100% experienced in every detail of both boats. This is word of mouth comments from a few people in rigging and paint from a large performance boat dealer at LOTO who sells many new and used boats. I was told the DW brand needed lots of work when delivered for rigging and paint. They said the build quality was not very good and lots of work was done to them to be prepped for completion. The MTI's they said were top notch in build quality and rigging. Like I said these were comments I was told, and I have not witnessed this personally.
My initial observation is the MTI dash seems more thought out and designed around the MFD's.
This will probably be my last boat due to my age so I'm going to be much more careful when buying this time.

Thanks for the info. Wifey and I are traveling to St. Louis and LOTO in a few weeks. We plan to set appointments at PBC and MTI. Hopefully, I can see boats during the rigging process.

Ask Skater30 & JPEROG to comment again - they own them.

PS: JPEROG lives across the channel from PBC - if you ask nice he’d probably give you a ride in his 36 DW - good dude.
