Charley-
I have to agree on that one...I WANT ONE!!!
I was down at the shop last week getting props and I got a viewing of the 29 ft. beauty. Damn it looks good. I think it might be time to trade in the Mach 26 for it's big brother.... I talked prices with Dave for a while, and it's very reasonably priced, that is with either twin 300x's and twin 496HO's. Either way it would be a sweet setup. So ya really thinking about getting one???

KevinI can't say for sure yet.... the ball is in Dave's court...I will say this much... if he pulls through and officially validates the tenative offer he made me last week... I will be a very Happy DCB owner :D :D :D ..., and he is going to get massive Good PR from me around these boards, If he decides that the deal can't happen for whatever reason, I'm not sure what I will be.... likely :( :confused: :mad:

[Washed Ashore]

Charley,thats a sweet boat!!but 496ho's are you kidding?we have seen pic's of the old boat,maybe twin quad's :DIt looks like the plug needs alot more work(bottom)can you wait that long?

[Charley]

MMM... waiting does suck, but look at it hehehe...btw I never said 496's......boatjob did hehehehe :D

[Steamin' Rice]

Looks like it will be nice....Hope it all works out for you Charley

[TOBTEK]

Any clue on how long it will be untill the new 29 is done? looks like their almost ready for molds...Maybe I should wait on my 22 and get a used 26. With this new 29 comming, wont that OLD 26 be softer on the market place? J/K :D

[Screaming Pete]

If anyone out thier has a mach 26 w/ twim 300's I'm looking :cool:

[Charley]

Screaming Pete:
If anyone out thier has a mach 26 w/ twim 300's I'm looking :cool: I think Conquest has a trade in....26 with 2 x 2.5's low 80's....good luck

[Screaming Pete]

Charley is that the red and yellow one with the tan interior?

[TOBTEK]

Screaming Pete:
If anyone out thier has a mach 26 w/ twim 300's I'm looking :cool: PETE...have you seen the 26 with twin 2.5's on the online boat trader? (white with yellow & red design) Not 300's but its sweet! buy it, and you can make me a deal on yours!!!!!!! How was your weekend at Yuma? mine was real NEAT on the couch AGAIN :rolleyes:

[Screaming Pete]

Tobtek, check the martinez lake thread for the run down on the weekend, I know of the boat it has a tan interior i belive and is a very very nice ride might be going out the weekend of the 28th I'll let U know

[WetWillie]

WOW......WOW,
Charley obviously someone has some big pull with Dave. When I was in thier he showed us the boat and one of my buddys had a cell phone in his hand. Dave said to him. Hey no pics! I wanna release this baby myself... Charley obviously you got the Mojoe....damn!
I want one!!! But I will want to use it in the lower colorado area until I can build my house in needles across the street from Charleys house!! hahaha wink . That would realy screw the view! :mad: :mad:
Dave said the boat is just toooo big for that area! Oh what to do!
WW :D :confused:

[Washed Ashore]

Charley,just tell me it's not egg beaters,and don't forget about the F26!!I have mine,It's a co-op between me(Smooth as glass,fiberglass repair)& DCB racing.I will have cold dinner's all winter!!!The F29 is sweet,but twice of every thing,motor's,drives,ect.To much $$$ for me,but if you can swing it,knock it out of the park!!

[aharonr34]

nice ride looks good i was in love with the eliminator 26 daytona but... starting to like dcb a bit more where are they located ?

[Reaper1]

http://www.dcbracing.com/

[Charley]

I think the DCB definitely can give the Eliminator a run for the money on looks :D

[Charley]

and http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Forum_Graphic_Depot/26-4.JPG

[mbrown2]

I think Eliminator has some catching up to do on the looks...personal preference,yes..but that F26 rig is sweet...and the lines really connect from the deck to the hatch..

[TOBTEK]

THAT IS AWESOME! I want one when I grow up and get a real job! thats the best looking boat ive seen in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andy01]

Nice looking boat, one of the best I have seen. But then again it is a DCB so what would you expect. Hey Charlie I think I e-mailed you my numbers give me a call when you get a chance.
Andy

[Charley]

What do you guys think of that paint scheme? be honest... it's on my list :D

[TOBTEK]

Charley:
What do you guys think of that paint scheme? be honest... it's on my list :D LOVE IT! its also on my list...that boat is awesome....

[mbrown2]

Charley:
What do you guys think of that paint scheme? be honest... it's on my list :D I think they look pretty cool. I remember skater doing this graphic style on their boats in the last couple of years, and then Eliminator started showing up with the oval as well on the canopy models...DCB has tweaked it little more with the edges(cool)...If you have not done so already...go to www.racelinedigital.com; (http://www.racelinedigital.com;) in the offshore series section they have a couple of graphics based off this style of scheme...no spam since I know you are not going to use vinyl, but it is a cool site to get a sense what the diff graphics look like on the side of the boat.

[THOR]

Charley:
What do you guys think of that paint scheme? be honest... it's on my list :D Not my cup of tea Charley.

[Steamin' Rice]

Charley:
What do you guys think of that paint scheme? be honest... it's on my list :D Hey Charley,
I like they way that graphic looks, except I'm not too sure if I like the jagged edges on the stripes or not. I'm sure they could grow on me, though.
Picking the graphics is pretty hard to do, good luck!!

[Reaper1]

Charley, from you we expect something original, something innovative, creative. Like your last ride. Be the graphic trend setter. wink

[Havasu Cig]

Charley,
I would also add my opinion as to the nav lights on the sponsons on the above boat. I think they are ugly just like Eliminators. I would go with the olsd style pole mounted lights. That is the first DCB I have seen with them.
Good luck on the paint scheme, it took us along time to come up with the design on our second boat. We must have drawn at least 50 different schemes until we came up with one we liked.

[XTRM22]

Hey Charley, I think those graphics are very cool, but Reaper1 might be right, after your 26'Mach people are expecting something uniqyue from you. You better get it figured out and working soon, I got a good picture of a young guy with your last name driving a DCB Vee and looking like he could get used to it! (you know if it was about 80mph faster) :D
Chuck

[Horsepowerchik]

That THING IS BADDD. I (personal opinion) like the looks of DCB rather than Elim. But, thats jut my Bias.
HP(Still Drooling)Chik

[WetWillie]

Charley,
I think the boat looks bitchen! It seemed original to me! Then I started notice other boates mostly Eliminator race boats with the same design on them! BUT it still looks trick!
I personally think you can come up with something
a little bit more cutting edge!!
Good luck and cant wait to see the design!
WW :D

[Jrocket]

Charley:
What do you guys think of that paint scheme? be honest... it's on my list :D OK but you asked...You can do better Charley.Those lines dont do anything for me.They dont seem to flow or contour to the lines of the boat.I would keep looking and thinking of something else.....Sorry Charley...Hey that was,ahhhhhh......nevermind.
BTW,was that Troy's boat?

[Charley]

[Charley]

You guys are probably right.... That paint job isn't me..... Does anyone know who can paint "Homer Simpson" on my boat.... I will also need some lettering on the transom....
I need a "V"
I need a "I"
I need a "L"
I need a "L"
I need a "A"
I need a "G"
I need a "E"
Then a space.. do I need anything for that?>
I need a "I"
I need a "D"
I need a "I"
I need a "O"
I need a "T"
Whats that spell??? WHO CARES!! It's COOL!

[HavasuDreamin']

I am more of a traditional paint scheme type of guy. I would try to do something that flowed with the lines of the hull! Good Luck

[Charley]

Ok, I keep coming back to my old paint scheme but a little different.... the wife doesnt like it... how about a little feedback...honesty boys/ NAVY BLUE with Yellow/Orange layover fade
http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Forum_Graphic_Depot/oldidea.JPG

[RandyH]

I like what you have there Charley, Seems like the front needs something however. Just my opinion. MAybe something like this. I had Ultra do somthing like this for me and it turned out great.
http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Reader_Rides/Stern_Drives/coolgraphic.JPG
It will be an awesome boat no matter what. Good luck with it.
Randy

[TOBTEK]

to close to your 26. go big and wild. how about the yellow f26 down there now...its interesting

[TOBTEK]

I agree with Randy, the front is to plain...tip those tips in some color, would look alot better...

[Reaper1]

Lookin good Charley. I think Blue and yellow go good together. I also like a lot of white on the boat and the colors to accent it. Man, must be tough :p

[Charley]

ok ok.... Maybe you guys will like it better when I am sitting in the boat... here is what it should look like..... I'm really not seeing the whole point of these canopy things though.......... DOH!!!!
http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Forum_Graphic_Depot/homer.JPG

[boatnam2]

i think that paint scheme looks tight.i think something up the top in the middle of the sponsons would give the color balance.not a lot just a little something something to set it off.

[Charley]

:D

[Reaper1]

I think you need "Village Idiot" on the side in bold letters. :D

[roln 20s]

Charley-
I think those graphics are sweet, but I have to agree with the rest and say that it needs something up front! However, if you do something similar to that but put some graphics up front- it might start to kinda resemble SVO's DCB- can't do that! REMEMBER no 2 DCB's are suppose to alike, or in my opinion, even close! By the way, is that the 29?
Roln 20s
PS- Your quotes from Homer Simpson's point of view have me LMAO.

[roln 20s]

Charley-
New thought! I always wanted to do this scheme when I ordered a boat but since it is so far away, I'll share it will you. I have drawn it out before, but have no idea how it would look in real life. The entire hull blue (not a navy blue but not sky blue- a median) with those yellow/orange layovers in a couple places along the side and angling back. Similar to what is shown, just the entire boat blue with more of them. I kinda got the idea after seeing the blue HTM SR 24 that has the number 6 drive with the back section checkers and the front having orange/yellow tribal flames coming out. Its on their website. Maybe that color combo will sound better if ya saw the boat. Just a thought. Here's the pic if someone wants to post it. http://www.hightorquemarine.com/shot2.jpg
I think its bad ass!
Roln 20s
This description I just gave really sucked, but hopefully you get the idea.

You got some talant there Homer! I like the layout, Maybe just some different brighter colors! Then put a big DCB logo sticker up front!
WW wink

[TOBTEK]

the one thing I really like is how they painted the rub-rail so it isnt white going through the graphics! I noticed on your 26 CHARLIE that was also painted. QUESTION....was that durable or was the paint chipping and pealing? sure looks alot better painted....painted would look much better than white going through all my new blue graphics...

Smaller ofcourse(DCB starter boat!)Platium pinstripes and platium windshield area (small MACH22 thing) Blue is med blue with dark blue fades both blues are metalic ofcourse..YOUR computer graphics look better than our sketches, i like it even more now, I have a little more blue comming off the front....Do that Charlie, we can be twin's.....ahhhhh NO

[Charley]

uhhhh... Tobtek... I swear I never saw your drawings,,, in fact I posted earlier asking what you were doin....hmmm..... the bad new is My wife loves this one...we might be twins afterall.....hehehehe.... did you have the reverse flames in the back with solid color transom?>

Now those look sick! I really like that design- no matter what colors you use! Did you decide what engines you are going to get yet? I have a feeling that you are going to go all out on these engines, just like the graphics trailer and everything else.

Right now I am narrowing the field on engine builders... it's down to 2....I want 540 -600 CID naturally aspirated, single carbed motors...making 600-675hp each....not as exotic as last time but remember there will be 2 wink

[Charley]

WW, Im using Adobe photoshop..... Iv'e gotten alot better with it over the last few weeks....been getting tips for a photographer buddy of mine... It's an amazing program...here is a wilder and a tamer version of flames I came up with, curious to see who likes what... I know tobtek will want me to get somethin else lol :D

I'm all about the wilder tamer graphics. Question: not sure what you or Dave feel about Keith Eickert- but I was checking out some of their engines on the web and they are bad ass? A 377 Talon ran 122 + on two of their 675 HP EFI engines- however I believe they have a 6:71, but none the less a sick set-up. Check it, you never know?

Love the flame schemes...However, almost every boat I see coming out of the molds these days has flames...with so many boats out there running with flames (and I know some look much better than others), I would be concerned that the saturation will cause the look to go the way of the checkers and lightning bolts in 3-4 years...Flames are classic, but the saturation concerns me...just my .02...I like the oval designs that were on the F26 posted, and the one that Lavey had on one of their boats at the show...not too many out there yet, but with some tweaking you might set the new standard for next year's boat show....but hell, its all personal preference. - Mike

Like the checkers and bolts from Eliminators everywhere. But flames have been on HOTROD's since the 1950's and they are still IN.. I played with the oval designs like on the LAVEYCRAFT show boat, which was very good lookin. Dont know if that will stand the test of time. This is some hard descision making here! The paint scheme on your new DCB makes for many sleepless nights wink

[Charley]

Ya Flames are big right now....but...you only live once wink besides I'm gonna want an F-34 in a few years hehehe JK.... Tobtek....we could be like that 44 and 28' magic side by side at the sandbar LOL!

charley,
What's your fax? I've been doin a little doodling. Maybe a good deck design to incorporate into your orange/blue graphic idea.

[Havasu Cig]

Charley,
I know this is probably not an option, but have you thought about a white boat and then getting it painted. I am very happy with the paint on the Cig (Imron), it has been very durable.
If I was going to order another West Coast boat I think I would go this route. There is so much more you can do with paint, and the detail is also much better.
Todd Davis' Mach 26 is painted and looks very good. It has much more detail then could have been done with gel. The paint will add some cost to the boat though.
Tough decision to make, good luck.

[25Elmn8r]

Charley:
classy blue Flames to reverse flames?
http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Forum_Graphic_Depot/blue_flames.JPGI like this one. Maybe just add a little something down the middle between the sponsons.

It is funny that you mention this!!!!
I was saving this for my new boat but I will share.
Did anyone see the discovery channel show with Orange county choppers?
Well they made a bike they called the "JET Bike"
http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/occ/images/bikes/theme/jet/jetBackLeft.jpg
This picture above does not do it justice!
This bike was trick!!! To say the least!
Charley... how about getting a light grey/ silver gel coat job on your boat.
Then incorporate some of the rivet looking panels that make a jet a jet.
On the sides use the logos kinda on the side of the tank. "Notice they look just like DCB's logo??"
http://www.dcbracing.com/images/FLOGO1.jpg
Near the small engine hatch openings you can have "Danger jet intake" Like a fighter jet.
Hell!!! you allready have the canapys on the boat!!!
Are you seeing it???
I think it would be TRICK!!!
and it would be original and would deffinitly REPRESENT DCB!!
Anyway I am done!
When's dinner??

That thing is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I cant afford to paint it ....and the wife would probably cut me off for 90 days if I spend anymore money on this project...motors are adding up but it's gonna be a killer boat.... Thanks again everyone for the help... I'm leaning towards the blue flames.... I'm gonna try to connect the front and back blue with an idea i had but I don't know if I will like it.... I'll post it.... 25elimn8r I agree something on the deck would be cool but the wife wants it white....on my last boat I took a day off work and went to DCB to help the gel coater tape the boat....maybe I will sneak a loose flame in there hehehe

Charley-
I took a pic of this at Advantage about a year ago- haven't seen anything like it since. I think its bad ass, just change the colors and the lines to flow with the 29 DCB, and your set. Just another idea to throw out before its too late.

Thanks Tobek-
I agree, I think it was bad ass too! I think that it was being sent to one of their dealers near NY or NJ! That thing is bad ass and would stand out in Havasu anyday- especially on the DCB 29. If i new how to work any photo programs, I would put it on the blank 29 hull. Oh well, thanks for posting that pic, one of these days I will learn.

The flames look cool Charley. Lets see if you can resist the temptation to change it. When we were drawing up graphics for our DCB's we must have changed our minds about 20 times each. I would draw something and really like it, but then a couple days later I would not like it so much anymore.
One of the things I did is put all the sketches away for a while and then pull them out later and see what ones I still liked. If they stood the test of time (a few weeks) then I would keep them in consideration.

If you like the flames then go for them....It's a good look and like you said they go with the lines of the boat pretty well, plus it's a bonus if you find something that your wife likes, too! How soon does your boat go into the mold?
A Yardhouse meet sounds good...If you want to ride with us on a lunch run in the boat from Newport sometime just let me know, I probably owe you a beer for all of my smartass ziptie comments... :D :D
HavasuCigs, is your boat out here yet or do you still have some time to wait??

[Havasu Cig]

We will be good at the end of the month. We just got the new aluminum MYCO and the swim plateform is being put on tommorow. I can't wait to get back in the ocean. :cool:

Who ever wants to go is fine with me....One warning though, if the water is big there is only three hand holds in the Cig. Some of our passengers found out the hard way at the DSM Poker Run.

http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Forum_Graphic_Depot/CHARLEYDCB2.JPG
was just up on a ladder putting up crown moldings in the house and this pop'ed into my head! first part of bottom back white flame should arch and come foward some but this was a quick sketch....

[TOBTEK]

I was orig thinking white "gost flames" on the white base going into blue back. then I added the yellow/orange fade. looks cool without the yellow/orange also, just the gray pins over white base making the flame design....hear what im throwing down????

[Charley]

OH NO my colored pencil disease has officially been spread through the internet!!! Im teasing... Tob I kinda like it...... I think I need to play a little bit on photoshop..... I'm getting a few drawings from stinger soon too, cant wait to see what his creative mind is thinking... Thanks again Tob thats cool stuff! :D
by the way Tob thats pretty creative!

Hey Charlie,
I think you should seriously consider those two whipple charged small blocks that are for sale. They are efi motors and use the same efi system as I use. My efi system has been so awesome. That would be one hell of a package you would have. When do you think the first 29 will go into the mold and when do you think yours will be popped from the mold?
Have you seen the pictures your friend took of us last month at the sand bar? I am still waiting to see them.

Paint scheme contest !!!! ya.... Tob you and Roz both have some rippin ideas, and the rides are definitely in order..... but I'll tell ya what happend TODAY that has me thinking hard on a variation of the old Idea. I was working the LoveRide and I saw some BAD-ASS paint jobs on some bikes..... one REALLy caught my eye.... It was Blue Flames ( hmmm sounds familiar) but with a bunch of absolutely bad-ass "ghosted" skulls in it......It was very subtle but looked so COOL.... I talked to the guy his name is Randy Morton from "Rock and Roll custom paintworks" in Orange(near me) .... I asked him if he could Ghost images over gelcoated-flames he said no problem..... So..... as of tonight I'm all hot on the idea....Have you guys ever seen that look? :D

Charley-
I've only seen it done a couple of times on boats-- Kachina has done it very well. That is a great design for graphics-is the base going to be all black with the blue flames or just blue flames over white? I think the black base and blue flames would be killer (like Korn's Shockwave 29). Good luck- can't wait to see it. Check out the SEMA pics under hot boats- west, the new whipple hemi motors (1200 hp) on the 28 daytona--absolutely rediculous.
And those flames on the red 25 daytona are sick too! Gosh I'm kinda glad I can't buy a boat just cause I couldn't decide the colors, motors, etc..

"Ghosting" would be very trick and "classic" with the flame motif.

I'm going with 580 cubic inch naturally aspirated, single carbed motors... Dart Big M blocks, Aluminum Dart Heads all the good stuff underneath, they should make 630-680 HP each and they will be capped at 6000 RPMS. The drives will be imco extremes and we think with a 1.35 ratio..... I spoke with Dave yesterday and he is really excited to build these 29's he thinks he is going to make one for his own personal boat......

I like it...I always thought the yellow to orange fade was one of the best combos. Back in 1990, I had a Hi-Tech 20.6 O/B that was in the Hot Boat Performance trials and its base color was a Tequila Sunrise Orange to Reddish/Orange fade...I will never forget that gel on that boat...It had the cleanest colors at the trials...That color combo is sweet.

ME LIKES :D looks good how the front ties into the back. and you wont see another like it for awhile..

[Charley]

this is a good sign we got 3 positives ina row.... I like it too!!! it took me a while to draw it just the way i liked it but I finally took my hand off the mouse and said" THERE IT IS"
Jen loves this scheme because the yellow and orange wont burn yer ass when you slide across it! lol :D

(just have to be careful around docks)

[Steamin' Rice]

Looks good Charley...I like the idea of connecting the front and back graphics, without it getting too busy.
I bet you can't wait until yours goes into the mold....You probably won't stop playing with different graphics until then... :D

[ROZ]

Charley, I agree with Havasu Hangin'....That's it!

[roln 20s]

I agree Charley- thats the one!! One serious problem--isn't that boat you put the graphics on an ELIMINATOR :) When is the first one coming out of the mold--I'm not even getting one but want to see it soooo bad!!
Roln 20s

[andy01]

I think it sucks! J/K I like it man, that looks sweet!!!! Are you going to stick with the Hi-C racing colors or go with something else? I think it would look good in red. That yellow color does look good on the water though.
Andy

[25Elmn8r]

I love the scheme. That color just doesn't sit well with me. I do agree with RR though that it would look good in Red, or even the blue from before.

[Steamin' Rice]

You could do a red-orange-yellow fade and have the yellow part of the fade end up right where you would sit.... :D

[Charley]

Roln,,, yep its a 30' Daytona... you would notice!!! lol,,,, I like the graphics alot but the color is still up in the air... I really do like the yellow and orange fade but I must say Blue would be cool too not as wild but a little classier ya know?... I love Red too but the wife hates red so thats out.... well at least I'm getting close hehehe :D thanx guys input rules

[ROZ]

Okay Charley, I guessI wasn't quite tapped out..

Hard to see, but the top is white to a silver fade.

Charley,
I was stumbling around and found a couple of Flame jobs that are a bit out of the norm but may give you some inspiration.

I really like silver to! Can they spray a silver gel color? That with Puter color hardware would be incredible!
WW wink

[Charley]

yes they have a color called platinum... it's silver but silver is one of those colors that seems to look better with metallic in it... will someone shoot me and put me out of my misery :D

[WetWillie]

HAAHA,
Sorry bro this is a HUGE desicion in my oppinion and its not even my boat. You are spending some big dough and you want it to look right! I know how you feel the wife and me have gone thru several gallons of paint tring to get the Living room painted. I never thought it would be such a desicion! But you gotta make it and you have several oppinions involved!
Blue on silver would look hot and Im sure you could design it so the wifeys tanning area is all silver!
Good luck and please keep us posted!
When is the first 29 due out of the mold?
WW wink

[roln 20s]

Charley-
Just go all out- blue base with silver tribal flames or whatever you want. If you didn't want something custom and completely original, you would have just bought a BAYLINER a long time ago to save you time and effort. Good luck, no matter what its gonna be bad ass- its a canopy DCB :D

Dude, you just used Gayliner and DCB in the same sentence. I think there is some law against that. :p

[Charley]

I'm #2 and #1 is due to go in the mold I think in the next 3-4 weeks... I'm anxious just to go down and see #1.... it's gonna be an all white boat with some radically expensive PAINT job hmmmm should be interesting...... It's also gonna have a TEAGUE 1000 with a single #6... thats an experiment in my eyes too! i've always thought a 28' or bigger cat needs twins hehehehe but who knows with a 1000 HP she ought 2 move jus fine...Tob....how is the mold on the 29 looking?

[hot_diggity_dog]

Hey Charley,
What do you think of this paint job on the all white boat? :confused: Or yours! :D LOL another .02 wink

WW :cool: I was talking with Joe from DCB today, asking where in the heck they do the gell work on the new 29's and even moreso f34's. He was saying the same booth they did mine, If I remember correctly that booth didnt look 34 feet deep? can you even imagine the molds for a f34 eek! , how about the expense to design a boat, build the plug, glass the mold, even before 1 is ever built...a butt load of $$$$$$$$
http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Reader_Rides/Outboards/Ourdcb1.JPG
picture a 29footer or 34footer's mold's.....wow

WetWillie:

WW :cool: Yes he is !!! I really can't say enough about my dealings with Larry so far...Chuck, Craig and Donnie all reccomended him and I'm glad this time around I listened... the guy is Really Really knowledgeable and he has been very Fair on all pricing too..... He is genuinely a VERY nice guy and I hate to assume too much here but I believe a Year from now I will feel the same way about the guy......He is making me a matched pair of 580 CI Naturally aspirated single carbed motors..... they have DART Aluminum Heads, all the good stuff inside and to make my wife happy I made sure the motors will end up looking "SHINY" just like she wanted.......LIKE I WANTED THEM NOT TO BE SHINY??? God I love my better 1/2 wink hehehe

What happended to the 29 plug? It got destroyed coming out of the new mold. For some reason it didnt release. ripped the plug in half. way bummer, cause that was going to be the only F29 id ever be able to afford...wait now maybe I can :D

[twistedpair]

So do they have to start from the ground up, or can the original plug be repaired? Sucks either way, that's a badass looking sled!

NO, the molds are DONE. the plug is wasted, which it would have been destroyed at a later date anyway. Just a bummer not to able to ogle it now and see what the rich and famous get to have :D

[Charley]

So.... it looks as if Dave is going to use my boat for the LA boat show... it will just be a bare hull with no interior but the first 29 out of the mold is going to be all white and Dave thought that would be a little boring.....wooo hoo!!!! I'm gettin excited :D

[roln 20s]

Awesome Charley! Congrats on that. How was the DCB trip last week? Graphics all decided and ready to roll? I can't wait to see it.
Have a good one.

taping got pushed back to 1/22...ROZ...wife and I agreed on Blue front flames pulled into reverse flames in the rear....solid blue transom...I know I'm gonna probably hate cleaning that! as far as breathing down Carlos' neck .......I WILL BE..... I was involved in the taping of my last boat when Joel was doing their gelcoats and I was a bit of a bitch hehehehe stakes are high here, gel coat is forever ... I'm critiquing :D !!! Tob I will be down there Tues and Wed but if you can snap photos that would be SO damned cool.....I'm gonna shoot som pics and video on wed myself :D ....BTW I got some video of bryans boat this weekend...I'll upload it soon....I might do a lil edited quicktime movie wink
