very nice tob! cant't wait for summer.

[mbrown2]

Tob,
That flame job looks trick...the blues/gray's should look tight. Good choice on the dark gray windscreen....can't wait to see it snapped together. So were they trying to recreate the flame layout from the MX helmet?

Looks great Tobtek- can't wait to see the thing with the bottom too. I love the idea of the graphics..and Charley--I think your graphics have to be decided by now- these are bad ass. Big bro and little bro DCB style- can't beat that.

TOBTEK:
http://free.***boat.net/gallery/Reader_Rides/Outboards/JM2FLIPEDOUT.JPG
HERE'S JM2'S NEW 26 UPSIDE DOWN GETTING BLUEPRINTED....THIS THING IS HUGE!!!!I am going to ask a dumb question here! Why do they blue print the bottem? It comes out of the same mold and every one should be identical right??
WW :confused:

[TOBTEK]

OMG WILLIE what is wrong with you! why do you ask questions like this? :D :D kidding ofcourse....ya know, that is a good question? if the mold is close to perfect, why do they have to mess with the hull at all??? Dont rib me here , But many yrs ago when I was a wantabe jetski racer we would blueprint our hulls. And these are MUCH smaller hulls/molds and the smallest of tweek's made a large difference. So maybe just to ensure that they are perfect they do so???

[Havasu Hangin']

Also, I imagine flipping the boat makes it easier to color sand & buff the gel on the bottom...
Great looking boat, TOBTEK...

Great looking boat, TOBTEK...Thanks H/H...what you say makes alot of sense!A buffer over head would really suck after a few hours! You are buddies with Carlos @DCB right. He was asking if I knew you. So, im assuming if you and Carlos are buddies this is pretty much correct information.

Everytime I track him down, he starts crying about how he has no money cuz he's always buying women's clothes (it's some kind of sick fetish)...if his wife only knew... http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/happy/happy06.gif

[Havasu Hangin']

Charley:
She must have a clue....Actually, there's kinda a funny story behind it...
I had been posting here for a few months, and someone mentioned DCB. I posted something like:
"watch out for Carlos- he likes to wear women's clothes...I think Dave even sent him home one time for showing up to work with a little sun dress on..."
Well, I didn't know he lurks on the boards, and he didn't know I posted here, but I figured it would get back to him. He spent the next couple weeks trying to track down who "Havasu Hangin'" is...even trying to get the CF numbers off my boat in my profile (I had my boat re-gelled, and I guess he didn't recognize it, or the interior that he did...)
I thought it was funny. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/happy/happy34.gif
He's probably still lurking around...one day, he might actually read the directions that came with the keyboard at DCB, then maybe he'll post... http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/happy/happy15.gif

QUESTION.......white or black RUB-RAIL for mine???? black would look much better in the blue area but what about in the white area's??? top and bottom are now together ive been told by SCOOT69 when he was in town this weekend, I'll get pic's tuesday. I am thinking the white rail doesn't look good on this force.

White gets my vote!

[Hermosa]

I like the white rail also.

[Boatmaster]

Boat looks nice Tob, can't wait to see it next year. I will be at Dave's in late January dropping off my boat and picking up a customers new boat, may be I will see it then.

It will be on his showroom floor waiting the boatshow in L.A. Hey what do you think of the "cockpit covers" good thing to have while towing, but the 250 snap's that stay on the boat are way gay!
Drew, cannt wait to meet up with you at the BBSP....later

[kab]

NO COCKPIT COVER!!! The snaps are gay. I have one and now have to pay to have all the snaps removed. The cover is nice, but there has to be a better way to install it.

[TOBTEK]

kab:

[kab]

NO ROAD TRIPS!! :D Duct tape would definetly be better. The snaps burn your feet, arms, hands whatever they touch when its 110 degrees out. Just move your weekend warrior out to hidden shores and call it good. Check your e-mail.

[Boatmaster]

Could'nt agree more the snaps are gay. The cover would be nice for towing, but I would never be able to get over the 250 snaps. This years bbsp is going to kick ass if it all comes together. Sounds like HS is really trying hard. Gotta love that guy and his wife GREAT PEOPLE!

Maybe I can get the Polished stainless fenders now..and what do ya know...they are $500.00!!!!! :rolleyes:

[Steamin' Rice]

I don't like all of the snaps, but I really like having a cockpit cover on my boat..I don't use it for towing, but if I leave it in the water overnight or parked on the trailer at a hotel, it is nice to have the cover......

[andy01]

Boat looks great!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it in the boat show next year!
Andy

[CMABadseed]

Tob,
White!! for the sake of the poor installer. haha just kidding but i have broken miles of black rubrail at Dave's. but i finally got the hang of it. i think the white will look great.
nice ride, i'm sure you'll be stoked with it.

Add 250 snaps to it! :p J/K, but IMHO, as nice as a cockpit cover would be, there is NO WAY I would ever put snaps on that gorgeous of a boat!

As far as rub rail you can try this. We did red across the red and white across the white. You can do black across blue, white across white. It takes time but can be done.

Putting in the new priemer fiberoptic c/d mp3 head unit. PhoenixGold Titanium sieres amps, one 600w 2 channel for the subs and one 500w 4channel for the other speakers, speakers are focal seperates. (2) 11" subs, (4) 6.5 mids, (4) 4.75 mids and 4 tweeters, all composit construction ofcorse. zero gauge wiring into Phoenixgold fused Distribtion blocks, out to a digital 1fared powercap. ya know just your average Kmart special.. :D

[rivercrazy]

NICE! Phoenix Gold is good stuff. Hope it all turns out just like you want. May I ask one question? Why the A/B class amp for the subs? Wouldn't a class D be more efficent? Just a suggestion.
Congrats on all the top shelf gear! I have a lot of the PG wires, D-Blocks, etc in my ride

[syke-o]

sounds sweet, but 11" subs??? is this a typo or are they making a different size now??

He was going all SOUNDSTREAM with some hand made avi? speakers...but was stubid money, I had to say NO! this was bad enough on the wallet....

[TOBTEK]

syke-o:
sounds sweet, but 11" subs??? is this a typo or are they making a different size now??SYKE-O.....yes the sub's are 11" I hadn't seen these before either. FOCAL mades some off the wall speakers. They are badass lookin all composit with kevlar. Hope they sound as good as they look!

[ROZ]

IMHO, Focal produces some of the best SQ speakers on the market. I heard a set their components paired up with a Zapco amp. It had some serious sound reproduction. Subs in the car were Eclipse titaniums.
Word on the grapevine is that we're trying to pick up their line for next year, but they aren't sure they can meet our demand. I hope we get'em. It would be nice to offer something other than the Boston Acoustics Z series component speakers($1000pr.)for our SQ customers.
TOBTEK's stereo should sound great.
We'll need some pictures, bud!
RC, I agree on the mono amp. PG's 1200.1 would have been nice :)
I didn't know AV International got into car audio. Their home speakers are audiophile caliber. That quality of speaker doesn't belong in a boat. You'd never get them to sound the way they were designed to sound. I'm sure it would take a lot of time to get the imaging right, but if you really like them, put them into the new truck :D If you want to go insane and have an extra $7000.00 laying around, check out the Rainbow reference series 2-way component system. eek! I sure would like to hear them. :D
And Froggy, Rainbow's amps...11-16V! 16V! Their class D maxes out at 2500w 10hm @ 16v!

Why not a plasma? You know, "BIG SCREEN" TV's won't even be made in a couple more years.....That pro Elite runs 5500.00 in the store. AND we have none in stock. How does a Sony KZ42ts1 (2002 plasma) @ 5549.00 ($6000.00 retail) sound? Or Sony's new KE42ts2 (2003 plasma ETA 12/11) @ 5808.00 ($7K retail)?
Regarding the Focal comments, Jeremy is the only 12v salesman there worth a darn. Brian(install manager) is one of the best installers in San Diego. He does some cazy glasswork! :cool:

So, IF I upgrade I want a huge one! so if they even make a 58-60" plasma im sure I cant afford it! my wallet is being pulled in many directions right now!

Since you're up in the Mark's Autosound vicinity, why not try them? I know of a few guys down here(one in=Chino; rest= SDC.) who are more than qualified to do the work, but you'd have to come down here. :)
I can point though :D :cool:

I have the 36xbr800 and love it. Hind sight being what it is......In totalling my xbr and the new armoire, I could have bought a 32" plasma... BUT I am more than satisfied with what I have.
No, I have a friend moving to SEH in 2 weeks. We were going to buy in the 1st phase, but decided to fix up our current house...(refurbish and add a pool). We live between Woodland Parkway and Nordal.

The Kenwood KVT911dvd and the Eclipse AV8132 both rock! I think the Eclipse has the better picture, but the Kenwood is a touchscreen unit that when coupled to a NAV system is very nice.

[Havasu Cig]

We just bought a new Sony 65" Wide screen HDTV and the picture sucked when we got it home. I bought it from Circuit City because they were 1k cheaper than Tweeter for the same TV. Circuit city came down 1k on the price when I acted like I was going to walk out of the store. I made them come and get the Sony though because it was giving us a headache. They said it is Sony's newest model and I was the third person to return one.
We ended up going with the Hitachi 65" wide screen HDTV instead. They are going to deliver it on Tuesday so we will se how the picture looks. Everybody I talked to said to go with the Hitachi over the Sony.
The cool thing is I bought a 4 year warranty / service plan for $500.00 and at anytime during the 4 years that I am not happy they will refund me 100% of what I payed. Basically I can wait for the Plasmas to come down in price, and 3 years and 11 months from now I will make them take back the Hitachi and upgrade. This sounded to good to be true at first but I was told by more than one person that they would take it back no questions asked.
Hey Roz...You need to tell your sales people to deal more on their prices. J/K :D
BTW: We have a 36" XBR as well. Great TV, it is on the way to Havasu when the new one gets here. I have always bought Sony and this is the first time they have disapointed (sp) me. :confused:

BUY STANS! less $$$$$ than mine. 98 MACH22 with twin 2.5 280hp's with 30ish hours on the BRANDNEW motors! its a deal at about 55K. It would be in my garage if "SHE" was into TWINS. go to www.carismacars.com (http://www.carismacars.com) Stan is cool, and motivated to sell it. Has tons of options, but NO stereo at all. NO biggie! THAT IS A DEAL OF A LIFETIME.. SCOOT69 if your reading this...you better go get that thing! and keep the EXTRA 70K in the bank...........

Now im trying to talk Carlos into the idea of flame stitching on the sundeck and seat backs.No color thread just white stitching on the white vinyl. Saw it on a magic and it was badass! think it would flow well! Let me find a pic! Please hold :D

Tube tv's = Sony ; Big Screen Tv's = Pioneer Elite then Mitsubishi ; Plasmas = Pioneer Elite then Sony (IMHO)

Not being on the retail side of our company, I'm unaware of what warranties the competition offers. It does sound too good to be true. I'm gonna check this out.....BUT people usually forget they have a warranty until something goes wrong. Make sure you keep an eye on those dates.
Hey Roz...You need to tell your sales people to deal more on their prices. J/K :D [/b]
Had you remembered I woulda hooked ya up and either pm'd or emailed me about what products interest you, you never would have gone to Circuit eek! :D
BTW: We have a 36" XBR as well. Great TV, it is on the way to Havasu when the new one gets here. Lucky snowbirds :cool:
Tubes will probably be long gone pretty soon as well. LCD's and Plasma will one day rule. Sharp's Aquious LCD line goes from 10" to 30". Still expensive, but as with everything else, they'll come down in price very quickly.

[roln 20s]

Tobtek-
Its looking great. All you need is a couple seats, a beer holder or two, a few more zip ties.. oh yeah, and the big outboard and you are ready to rip it up. Enjoy! Can't wait to see the finished product.
I love the flame stitch idea with white- seen it done also and its bad ass. Its your money-- tell them to do it :)

I hear we have to make a new sign for Tunnel T's motor for the drive back home :D
I'll look for your customers new 22, what kind of gell scheme did he do?
Does ANYONE have pic's of custom stitching like I want? not sure if they understand what I want, They were acting like it was a MAJOR big job to do this on the two front seat backs and the sundeck only, no colors added, no inlay vinyl colors, just stitch the same flame design that is on the back area of the boat into the vinyl :rolleyes: :confused:

Are they saying that just doing the flames would be a lot of work and $$? If that is the case I can understand that. Putting graphics into interiors can be a pain to do and it does take more time.

Didnt mean to piss anyone off, But as allway's I usully do! :confused: thought his buddy would want to see his new boat....as I said, oooops my bad!

[Boatmaster]

Don't worry my customer will not mind at all, so snap away.

[WetWillie]

Charlie,
Maybe you have to have a talk with him (Dave)! You got some pull! I always felt he was a bit stuffy when it came to showing his stuff. You would think he would like to show off his product. I know the more I see items I like the more I want them. Look what a little exposer can do for you. Just ask Jesse James!
I personally think if he would update his website and let more pictures of his work out he would be that more busy or drive the demand up!
Just my oppinion.

[roln 20s]

WW-
I agree 100%. He should finish (actually start) the gallery section on his website with pics of his customers boats. I love that feature of Essex's website. I think it would provide him more business. More demand equals higher prices which equal more profit. Sounds like common sense to me. He should only show boats that are completed, and let owners (such as Tobek and RR) show pics of their boat being built. The moral of the story, pass the word to Dave to get his gallery section going.

I DO want one that I can ski/wakeboard have a good holeshot and enough top end speed to SPANK SCREAMING PETE... :D :D j/k PETE couldnt resist :D I think I heard Dave say something about mercury Bravo one with holes???? are these OK or do I want something else....help me obeone.....

[Steamin' Rice]

Looks nice...Did he sell you a billet joystick instead of a steering wheel?? :D :D :D

[CMABadseed]

Tob the boat looks great, i was down there last week just before turkey day and the place is booming with great work as usual. DCB seems to get better and better with every boat that comes out.

[TOBTEK]

Steamin' Rice:

[TOBTEK]

hi DARLA......we know your watching :D

[Steamin' Rice]

Tobtek,
No DCB for me although I really like their boats. I was actually almost the owner of a DCB 22 extreme back around 1994 when DCB was relatively new.
I have a 29' Shockwave that I got in May. I looked at the 28 extreme, but chose my boat because I knew I would use it in the ocean a lot and wanted something with a little more size than the extreme.
Keep putting up the pics of your boat, it's looking great!!

THANKS H/S.....so with this 26 bravo what would you guess top speeds to be? as long as im in the 80's I'll be a happy camper(for now im sure)
As far as the gauges, I asked Kevin @ DCB who is rigging it and he was saying there wont be any issue's. Guess the the new Smart craft gauge will let me know before anything can happen. And I dont have a jack plate..bummer cry They have a new plate, but its bingo dollars! Maybe in a few years when the price comes down. It should be way faster than my last 18ft laveycraft :D

[mbrown2]

I am pretty sure Dave does not put Jackplates on the 22 or 26 Mach's...They figure they have already dialed it in...

And they take 3-4 months to get. The guy that own's the 21ft Eliminator in the showroom makes them, check out the one on that Eliminator its TRICK!

Tob it looks bad ass!!!! Can't wait to see that focker on the water! (I am sure you can't either) As for the Parker trip, all of us new DCB guys are (or were) planning a little trip when Charlie's ride is done, Jm2rvr, you, Charlie and myself! Oh and we are staying at Dave's place, we just bring the boats and he will bbq for us all weekend.

I think you better re-check your math on the stereo equipment. The money cost to buy it plus the extra money to install it, plus the drive to a from DCB every other day to make sure it was installed to your spec's---priceless.

I really like the way they put emblems on the motor mounts. It looks really sharp. Those amps look pretty kickass, too!

[mbrown2]

Toby,
Sick Stereo setup, so where is the Amp Board going to be mounted? With all the weight, you might just want have them clamp on another OB... :D
Also, since they will be done soon, do you get to take possession of it, or do they keep it until after the boat show? The wait must be killing you. cry

[kab]

mbrown2- I think that unless they are for sure using toby's boat for the boat show he will have to pick it up. DCB has 22 new boat orders already. Thats a huge number before the boat show, especially for a company that only produces 30 -40 boats a year. They don't have any room to keep anymore boats. Plus Dave has some maintance to do on my boat :D

Where they normaly put them up front would be a kink if we open up the front! Everything would have to be re-rigged.....no thank you! and YES, I would love to have ONE MORE clamp on the back......or if I was REAL money I would have bought a MACH26

But now with the blue and white, we went for a white triler with polished stainless fenders, dimond plate catwalk and steps. If I had a blue truck, a blue trailer would have been cool, but I have a white truck as well.......

I looked at the wiring under the deck of my Eliminator Daytona, it looks like an abortion, they just don't even compare to the DCB. Tobek, keep the photos coming! Nice ride. I have never been a big outboard fan, but the more I see boats like yours, I'm liking them more and more....THANKS HERMOSA....Hard to fight the fact that the outboards are great with their fuel ecomomy, reliablity, HP to speed ratio, extra room in boat ratio, ect.....NOT dis'ing inboards ATALL! Id love to have a MACH26 with a big blower motor, BUT WAY cant afford it. What Eliminator do you have?A 22' Daytona with a 502. Had a new 21' Daytona 454 jet at one time also back in 96, that was my favorite tunnel, lots of fun on the river.
