I just visited the Doug Wright factory in Melbourne, FL

Out of respect to DW, I have no pics to post.

I highly highly recommend DW lovers to visit the factory...especially this week!

if you're ever wondering ( IF you ever wondered ) why DW32s cost the way they do, you have to visit the factory this week and ask DW if you can go behind the door marked " KEEP OUT "

the work that I saw there answered my questions on why/how DW wins and wins in the circuit.

you will also see the DW32 "pleasure" boat which is built with race standards!

you might just be surprised who the next owners of the 32 pleasure crafts will be.

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.

so are they building a new PR addition for someone??? going to have to get with Cap if he comes back to the 200 and take a ride to see how it feels in one. speed is great but the ride will make or break you ...pun intended LOL.

.

Not sure if this is gonna be a new PR boat. I hope so, then the owner wouldn't mind us sitting in it


Hopefully, the new owner either chimes in or starts a new thread on his build.


what I heard was that the windshield on the current build will not be as swept-back as KAP requested on his.

There is a pleasure boat open cockpit being built. It will have a little more freeboard than Kap's from what I have been told.
Boat getting 400 verados also.

Sr and Jr are building a new 32 pleasure for me with the new 400R's. It is going to be setup to seat 5 with a new windshield and we have a bunch of really cool things we are doing on this build.

When we get further along we will have more info and pics.

Very cool

LAriverratt all you had to do was come to the Blood River Marina I would have spun you out on Maurepas.

Once you get in one and go for a spin your hooked. Really no boat like it in my opinion very exclusive and you will want one.



Hi Noli glad you made it over to the new DW manufacturing building. As for the windshield on my DW I had flown out to the shop and set the rake and angle of the windshield. The windshield that I received was not what I asked for and the one item which I did not like on the boat. As it was out of my control when I left Doug unilaterally made some changes to the windshield. I never requested this windshield it is my least favorite thing about the boat. All other areas I had to guinea pig being the first one out of the gate.

I love my DW just not really happy with the windshield. Currently making some one of a kind parts for it including support brackets.

Really happy to see new builds in the pleasure boat arena rather than race boats being converted to pleasure versions. In my opinion the converted race boats are great boats. They do lack the pleasure boat amenities for a weekend out on the water. Having storage areas to put fenders and anchors, jackets and coolers is HUGE.

On the performance side no other outboard compares to a DW....rough water it eats it up....speed it's blazing....all around cannot be beat in any category. I think I have set the mark at LOTO 115 MPH with stock 300XS it squelched all the nay sayers.

Excited to see how the Verado 400R motors run on the boat it should be faster with 200HP more than I am running.

See you at LOTO.

KAP

will look you up next year at the 200 if we don't run in to you before then kap!

Love South Louisiana we will be coming for the Tickfaw 200 "2016" for sure.

I have a lot of events planned for next year. Trying to fit LOTO in right now...won't run the Shootout just come out to enjoy the boating and hang with friends. I will be bringing the boat though if I come out.

Can't wait to see the two new pleasure boats with 400R motors.
