They are made in Washington MO. Call 6363909000 and talk to Ron DeBargio if possible. He is a super guy. He spent a lot of time answering fabrication questions for me knowing I was not in the market for a new boat. He gave me a tour of the facility just because I was curious as to how a boat was built. From what I saw they appear to be well built.

Thanks for the response just wondering if any one has owned one. I took a 33 for a test drive yesterday and was not impressed.

Take a look at the 33 Active Thunder. It has the same single step patented DDC hull and was alot faster in the magazine test. The factory 33 demo is for sale at a steal of a price and is in the classifieds.

I had the opportunity to crawl all over a brand new 28 at the Pensacola this weekend at the Emerald Coast Poker Run. This guy had just purchased the boat for a "sweet deal" as he called it. This boat was riddled with electrical problems, and if you have any questions on how they are built, contact me privately.

I was at the Destin run and also picked up an electrical bug.

GoFastSonic..
Are you talking about the Challanger Offshore boats. ??

I know them well. I was actually familiar with their testing at lake "X" for the steps and the blackhawks. (Blackhawks didn't last long)
What would you like to know?

challenger
 
a friend has a 33 or 34 from mid 90's era. it seems to be of decent quality, i think he runs low 80's. twin 502 mpi's stock but i think he normally wins his class at the loto shootout. but since his boat was built ownership at challenger(of washington mo) has changed hands.

Gofast - What didn't you like? Did you demo the DDC 33 at Sea Village Marina?

I would take a serious look at a 33 AT and compare the two if you are interested in a 33 Challanger. In then end I think you will find there is no comparison.
