Going back in the morning to whip out the checkbook - Need advice from everyone what they think is a better bang for the buck - I am 5 months into this research and finally making a decision tomorrow - Here's what I have narrowed it down to:
DCB F-29 w/700's - $265,000
Eliminator 33 Daytona $330,00
Force 32' - $ 238,000
H E L P !!!!! What do you guys think??????????

same drives on all??
I'd probably go with the 33 Daytona, with the strides they have made in the rigging department lately.. The comparison, or should I say choices you have made are hard to compare.. It seems like a more accurate comparison would be a 30 daytona, have you looked into this??

33 Daytona. I have had a great experiance with Bob and the team at Eliminator. Cannot say enough good things!
Awesome big water boat. It does not handle as flat as an DCB or 30 Daytona but get it in some open water and few can keep up.

I say the Force best bang for the buck and I liked it the best for me. :rollside:
DCB F-29 w/700's - $265,000 = $ 9,137.00 a ft.
Eliminator 33 Daytona $330,00 = $ 10,000.00 a ft.
Force 32' - $ 238,000 = $ 7,437.50 a ft. just my .02

2nd that!.....A good buddy of mine has a 33 and IT WILL STEP OVER SOME SERIOUS WATER!! Absolutly no comparison to my 28 daytona. There are some pretty nice 1-2yr old 33's out there for 200ish that are probably near perfect. My next boat will definately be a 33.....

if you are willing to spend that extra $$ on a 33' eliminator, at least go ask dave for a price on one of his new 32's ;)

If I was looking at West Coast I would ask Dave about the 32', I am sure he will be competive on price for what you would be getting else where. Value for value the DCB has a great resale and service, you can't really go wrong. Plus it would be cool having one of the first ones this year. I am sure the new 32' will be a very nice piece. I would also talk to Gary Teague at GT performance about doing your power. If you were looking at others in this size I wouldn't pass this boat up either.........

Or the new 32' Skater.

...2 years ago boat prices were out of hand, now it's just retarded.

I need to agree with Andy on this one. if your looking at spending 330K on a 33' eliminator, I would check out the 32 Spectre, and the 32 Skater, way better boats then the 33 daytona, unless you want a cabin then those two are out. If you want a cabin in that range, you better stay west coast! The 32' Spectre will be way cheaper then 330K, It will be in the 2's somewhere!! Plus it will smoke the Eliminator all day with the less power!
In the 29' - 30' range with inboards, the F-29 would be looking pretty good!
Bob just said yesterday for the lakes on a good day, its the best riding boat in that size range. When the water gets big, he said thats when you go back and get the big boy "The Skater"

I second this, I spent a long time talking to Force at the show and am going for a test ride on wed. I think they are the best bang for the buck. Also when I talked them yesterday they had only sold one boat at the show, so I'm sure you could talk them down a lot. But all and all I like there rigging, costumer service and of course lines and the style of the boat.

I don't think the 33 Daytona is a fair comparison...probably a 30 would be a better comparison. From there is would be between who is going to make me the better deal on the boat; rigging being of the same level between the two.......the Force don't do it for me. I like the looks of the 29 better, but the 30 puts up some good numbers as well. I would also drive both before buying any of them.

Congrat on having 3 GREAT choices!!
Here's my thinking:
Does the "new" 33 eliminator have a new bottom? Read through all kinds of thread here, on OSO, or any other boating forums regarding 33's porpoising, hopping, and general ill handling. Canopies do NOT make a boat handle better. Period.
Force. How is their resale, and who knows of their 30+ ft cat building? From what i know (which is just casual observer-but probably 75% of your target resale buyers :wink: ), I don't consider them a "top line" custom builder.
DCB: great boat, great resale, and the some sort of west coast "kool aid" shit that us Ks. boys don't understand. :wink: :eek:
As was mentioned. I would check out the new 30' Skater or a 32 Spectre as well.

I would venture to guess that you could get the new Force 32' for $200k. The new 32' Spectre is supposed to be amazing as well and Jay wants a West Coast presence, so he is willing to deal as well.
We can talk about resale all day long, but these are all "DEPRECIATING " assets, and I would rather pocket the $70k+ and invest in some Havasu real estate to make up for the hit you are going to take on any of these boats !! :idea:

we are well aware that canopies do not make a boat handle better :rolleyes: and as i'm sure most boat manufacturers (including DCB :eek: :wink: ) can attest, you don't ALWAYS get it right the first time... the bottom on the 33 daytona was redone several years ago... with the new bottom and it's beautiful new deck, it's one of my favorites!! and well suited for the lake and/or ocean :wink:
with that said, all of the boats mentioned are great boats and i'm sure you will be pleased with whichever you choose... good luck with your purchase!!

Didn't mean to offend you brandie! My point was that people tend to look at the cosmetic changes on a boat and don't take the time to research the boats handling, safety and overall ride. I thought the 33 had a new bottom but I wasn't sure.
Yes you are correct, MOST boat manufacturers don't get it perfect the first time. That's what R&D and research are for, as well as customer service after the sale. The 33 is a beautiful boat, and one that I myself would be proud to own.
Again, my point was that someone in the enviable position of deciding on which new boat to buy should take the time to research resale, boat design, build quality, and service. It will prove to be time well spent!.

Calif. getting to some of you? just kidding.
I said what I said to hopefully help someone look past the cosmetics of a boat and perhaps look a BIT further into other, slightly more important issues related to boat ownership.
Hey, I owned an Eliminator once, and nearly bought another one last year before buying my DCB. They are great boats. Since the 33 has a new, improved bottom, I'm sure it is an awesome machine.
I just hope that when MarkK "whips out" his checkbook for a new boat, he comes away with a great boat that will a pleasure to own.
It was nothing personal. If taken as such, I apologize.

SummerObsession
02-08-2005, 12:32 PM
Don't think I am either cheerleading for DCB or picking on Eliminator.
Dave built a 34' boat that didn't work well. So he fixed it. As Brandie correctly pointed out, you don't always get it right every time.
The point is, what if you were one of the first people to buy a F-34, for example, because you thought it looked cool, and didn't do the research, including driving the boat, you might be a little disappointed. All you could hope for then would be service after the sale. Just pointing out there is more to a boat than looks.

I have a 33 Daytona with the old bottom and it did have some porpoising issues. However, Bob personally saw to the corrections and this boat runs very well. I consistently run the boat over 140 MPH, Bob drove the boat at Elsinore over 143 MPH. Bob made some bottom modifications and added a tunnel tab which corrected all my issues on this boat.
Now, on to a new 33 Daytona. This boat flat gets with it. It does have a new bottom. I have a friend with one and his boat runs harder then mine on slightly less HP.
Eliminator has been nothing less then professional and a company of integrity to deal with.
Just my 2 cents!

Force makes a great boat as well as DCB and Eliminator. We ran the first 32 built at Force in 2003 with a pair of 625 HP motors. We finished 11 in the 2003 NYC Poker Run ...neck and neck with TEAGUES super light full canopy which placed 10th. NOT BAD for the first boat out of the mold. NO ISSUES, NO PRORPOISING..... A ROCKET in very rough extreme water of 150+ boats. We also ran the boat in the Manhasset Bay Gold Cup Poker Run held by NPBA. The pics are on their site. We took home the trophy for the fastest cat that day. We smoked just about everyone with the boat. Cigs, Skaters, OL you name it. AGAIN real sloppy nasty water in the LI SOund that day. The boat planes very fast , does not porpoise AT ALL and eats up the rough water very well. Force has the trophy BTW in their showroom on display. ALL the boats mebtioned are fine machines. Force is an excellent value for a high quality well engineered boat. IT works very well....PERIOD...NO TABS or add ons to correct troubled design flaws.....and thats from personal experience. I do suggest you drive each boat in the same conditions before you pull the trigger. Real life seat time / testing is the only way to settle your soul. Let's face it, if you were looking at 3 cars all priced over 150K I bet you drive each one and then make a decision....do the same here and way the cost factor at the end.

Hey I just saw this thread. To be honest they are all really good boats. Just test drive them and see which one you like best.
My 32 was laid up heavy and the first with big power hence the tunnel tab. After 100 it porpoised so we needed to fix that. I put the tab on and it eliminated the porpoise. The boat is now a screamer with speeds over 120. Im running 1:24 gears 32 props and hitting 126. Im sure if I change to a 5 blade I'd be seeing well over 130. I have had no drive issues and Im very happy with the boat now that I got it dialed in. I looked at the new 32 and was very impressed. If their new bottom runs good than I definitly think they will have a winner especially value wise!
DCB..hey what can I say. The 29 is a fantastic boat with a fantastic finish. The only thing more impressive is Daves hair and the Cults cheerleading!
Eliminator...Well they just may have the best thing going out of all manufacturers...Brandie. Man what a hottie! Thank God I didnt meet her at the boatshow I probably would have bought that sick 33 they had hanging at the show.
Goodluck with your purchase...I dont think you'll go wrong with any of the above mfg's.

Just my $.02
Fisrt of all, I don't see anything "accusing" about the post. You are absolutely right, I don't know anything about the West coast builders, except the boats I have seen, and what you read-which is worthless, ESPECIALLY in ***boat mag.
So, by simply name and reputation ONLY (which does in fact affect resale), 90% of the people out here in the sticks-and again we don't know shit because we live somewhere other than California- will not consider Force a top-line builder. I'm not saying they not, in fact I have never been on one of their boats.
I'm just saying that when most people think of top-line cats the names Skater, Nor-tech, MTI, Spectre, Eliminator, DCB, and others immediately come to mind.
Are there other companies that build good stuff? Of course there are, perhaps they don't sell very many, or they don't market on a national basis. Does that mean they're a bad boat? Hell no.
As was said before, the pint is-drive it. If you like it, buy it. If resale makes no difference, then forget everything else.
I'm done with this one, I hope MarkK picks a boat he likes and has a blast with it!
I have to go read some more boat magazines and sharpen my pitchfork now. :wink:

I have had no drive issues and Im very happy with the boat now that I got it dialed in. I looked at the new 32 and was very impressed. If their new bottom runs good than I definitly think they will have a winner especially value wise!
DCB..hey what can I say. The 29 is a fantastic boat with a fantastic finish. The only thing more impressive is Daves hair and the Cults cheerleading!
Eliminator...Well they just may have the best thing going out of all manufacturers...Brandie. Man what a hottie! Thank God I didnt meet her at the boatshow I probably would have bought that sick 33 they had hanging at the show.
Goodluck with your purchase...I dont think you'll go wrong with any of the above mfg's.

Force is an excellent value for a high quality well engineered boat. IT works very well....PERIOD...NO TABS or add ons to correct troubled design flaws.....

The 32 bottom has been redone for this year as well. Will be tested in the Powerboat shootout.......
Ok raise your hand if this makes sense?
it works GREAT!!! but we changed it!!!

The boat Mr. Science had was not powered with big power and it was a lighter layup. With that said Im sure he runs in rougher stuff than what Havasu has to offer. When Im running in the roughest of days in havasu I dont need to use the tab as the boat handles shitty waters great. I remember this summer with some rough Havasu chop I ran with jeff(3DO) and my boat handled every bit as good as his. I mean if I can keep up with his big Porpoising pig it can't be all that bad! :idea:

Man I can't believe that this thread got to 3 pages before I jumped in.
As most of you are aware of and maybe some aren't the Force 26' was a splash of the Carrera 257 Cat bottom. The Force added 3 more feet and a another step and viola the 29' appeared and we know how well the 29' Force runs very well like Sandbar Mike's. So Force decided to do the same thing add another 3 feet and step to make the 32' Force. With that being said when you add big HP like Deano did you start to see the problems when you add feet and don't increase the depth of the sponsons as they did. When you get in the triple digits with a boat of that length you start to do the dolphin...... I rode in Deano's boat and it felt just like my old 257 but bigger and i think we hit 108 mph and no porpoise and this was before trim tab.Force to me has came along way and every year they get nicer and nicer IMO. But as far as I know they haven't built from the ground up a single boat yet they tooled. Their new V bottoms are the old Cole 25 and 28 hulls they just bought. I saw the 32' Canopy boat at boat show and I really liked it but it's still a modified Carera 257 bottom that it looks like they added some Sponson height to. I'm not sure what ever else they did to it.
I think any of the 3 boats mentioned would be a good buy..... But if you buy a DCB you get plenty of...

The new 32 bottom has a bit more depth and some step work. The 25 & 28 are Cole molds ( always liked their boats) purchased by Force and the new 39 - V bootom Spring / Summer 05 is from the ground up. The eveolution of bottom design over the past 5-10 years is always a culmination of this boat and that boat homoginized into a builder planned bottom......thats part of the boat building business.

Thats not true Rocky, There is a new surgery where they put pins, rods and screws in various places in the legs. Every so often they turn the screws to enlongate the legs.

Well I just got back from spending three hours with the Force boys @ Elsinore. They came out with four boats; 26' w/496 H.O., 29' w/540, 29 w/598 and 29' w/canopies from the cover of Hot Boat. There was about ten of us out there going for test rides. I rode in the 26' w/496 H.O. the 29' w/540 and the 29' from the cover of Hot Boat. The 26' rides really well in mild chop and smooth water, but takes a while to plane out with the 496. Also it leans outside just a tad in the turns. The 496 did about 68mph, witch just doesn't seem like enough for a 26'. It didn't seem much faster then my 21' that does around 60mph. Now a 26' with a 540 would be a diffirent story. The 29' w/540 was awesome! That added weight of the 29' keeps that thing nice and flat in the turns, and doesn't feel like your going to fly out of the boat. It also rides bitchen and when you hit the gas it gets on top of the water in a hurry. We got up to about 88mph with the 540. Now for the 29 w/canopies. I don't remember the size of the motor, but it had the twin screw whipples on it(if I wasn't so lazy I would go get my Hot Boat magazine and look). At a 100mph that thing rides bad ass! Now I know its the same bottom as the regular 29', but it just seems like a totally diffirent boat. There is a little prop slip if you are a hard on it out of the hole, but I'm sure that can be fixed with some prop work. All and all The Force guys where great and where very helpfull with any Q's that I had.
I know this has nothing about the 32' in it, but I just thought I would share a little.

Hmmm...Let me think of the gel coat. For some reason the gel coat is not popping in my head. But I do seem to remember a couple yellow folding chairs in the little storage area in front of the motor. Also i think the gel had some orange in it and wasn't to wild. If i can think of more I will post it.

Maybe they don't have computers since they had to pinch pennies to get their boats... :idea: :D :idea: :hammer2:
mbrown2, don't get me wrong, your boat is sweet. But, atleast us Force owners are happy and didn't have to take a 2nd out on the house to buy the boat.

Cmon, what did you save 15K - 20K, hardly a refi to own the worlds best,. You got to think about the kool-aid too thats worth and extra 10, and the zip ties, shit they speak for themselves. Whats the point of zip ties anyway, there cheap!! DCB - Worlds Best Baby!!!

Other way around....2nd home at the river for the boat, 2nd boat to wakeboard behind....
No equity boats here.....did you learn that equity thing from your Force buying experience.....
" How much payment do you want a month?....how much equity do you have? we can get you in a 29 with our own garage built engine with our flavor of Pixie dust..."
That really hurt :D :idea: :D .....BTW...I like Forces...and particularly all the owners I know...I will leave it at that... :shift:

Still, after everyone spouts their opinions...the best bang for your buck is FORCE. Look at the quality and the options list. Hmmm...what options list. Just about everything is standard.
The funny thing is, is that most Force owners are not into this addicting forum, so we do not hear from them. DCB owners on the other hand... :sqeyes:
Oh contaire...... Buy the Carrera 29' and your still getting a Force but the original and I think I got a better deal when all said and done.

I have a 33 Daytona with the old bottom and it did have some porpoising issues. However, Bob personally saw to the corrections and this boat runs very well. I consistently run the boat over 140 MPH, Bob drove the boat at Elsinore over 143 MPH. Bob made some bottom modifications and added a tunnel tab which corrected all my issues on this boat.
Now, on to a new 33 Daytona. This boat flat gets with it. It does have a new bottom. I have a friend with one and his boat runs harder then mine on slightly less HP.
Eliminator has been nothing less then professional and a company of integrity to deal with.
Just my 2 cents!
I second this go with the Eliminator besides our Regatta is bigger ha ha and we party better :cool:
