What would Bob Teague buy??
 
I found this rather interesting.

I don't personally know Mr. Teague, but I kind of assume he could probably buy about whatever boat he wanted.
I'm sure he could power it how he wanted.;) :p

He has driven probably more different brands and models of performance boats that most anyone around, including skaters, Spectre's, MTI's, Nor-techs (?), etc.
In other words all the big boys stuff.

So, when he decides to buy a boat for himself, which does he order??



Well, after driving a DCB F-29 for Powerboat's test, the next day he called and ordered one for himself. This info came fron Dave himself (owner of DCB boats)
I don't know that much about all these cats, but to me, that makes a pretty strong statement about DCB.
I love the looks of an F-29, and apparently they can impress even one of the most experienced cat drivers around.


Anybody have any experience with DCB boats?

From what I can gather, Dave makes one hell of a ride.
The name is just such a turn off.

Bob's DCB
 
I saw this boat at Teague the other day. Simple graphics, nice color choices, overall a very good looking boat. Plus I hear it's going to have some fairly large power. I hear he will be using this boat mostly at the Parker River and Havasu. I dont think that this would be Bob's offshore weapon of choice, considering the fact that there is a 36' Skater flat deck at his disposal parked about 20 yards away. Must be nice!!!!!

There's been alot of good smack about the F-29 on the Hot Boat site of late.

Pics dammit, we need pics!

I read about and saw a picture in one of the Magazines that he also has a Fountain. I think the article was about the SCOPE Poker Run.:)

Anyone have a link ?:confused:

They don't have the F-29 up, but it basically looks the same as the 34 on the home page.

I agree completely.

I realize this won't be an ocean boat for him, and that the boat is probably not intended as such.

It just occured to me that it does say a lot about DCB boats. I mean, Skater makes a 28 and a 32' also right?
;)

The power is to be one of his new 800efi's(I think) with Teague (whooda thought?) Platinum drives.

Should run 140+.
Stock 525 mercs will run 125. That's an extremely efficient hull.

Bob and Dave have been tight for years so that probably had a little to do with the decision. Before the 29' dave told me Bob was going to buy a 34'.

I owned two DCB's and and Eliminator Rigged by DCB prior to them making their own boats. I will not buy from them again, but they do build a nice boat.

The 29 that was on the cover of both HB and PB mag is owned by a friend, and it runs very good. I was told that Bob was very impressed with the boat when he tested it.

I also taked to Bob at Havasu last year about the Liquid Metal Skater, and he also had very good things to say about it as well.

I agree with 3DO, I believe he will be using this boat at Parker and Havasu. For an offshore boat I think he might choose something else. My.02

The boat above has N/A 650's and runs about 124 mph. 125 with 525's sounds little off to me.

125 with 525efi's sounds real off to me, unless they tow it up on plane and use up five miles of water to get top speed. 108-112 sounds more like it with a set of 525EFI's. Anyone can get the big number, but what is the use if it takes twenty minutes to get there.
