[TSPM]

Congratulations.......Enjoy your new boat!

[boatnam2]

Well, I ordered it, wont be done till may,
as most of you know, I was hav'n trouble with look'n thru the canopy's
and the 598 boat was tooo fast and too big for the kind of boat'n we want to do,
so,
I ordered a 26' cat walk thru , open bow, walk out front, 496ho power:)
i will say this is a first,someone going down in power.good call!

[Reaper1]

Congrats - I guess. :confused: :D ;)

[drejustice]

congrats!:)

[beaverretriever]

Man, Force must love you.
Did you sell your other boat already. I live in Henderson (I know you are at Mead alot), I was hoping to get a ride. :D

[dumbandyoung]

Congrats
I thought you bought a V?? :confused: :D
So are you gonna go all white again or something crazy?

[Da Twins]

[Da Twins]

[Sandbar Mike]

2Force, congrats on the new 26, it's a great boat and will move out real good with the 496ho.
Da Twins, Congrat's on the ***boat article. Is that bad boy running better than 100mph yet? It looked like Brad had the hammer down in the pic.:D

[Da Twins]

still wondering on the speed? everyone seems to have force 540s!
man they made a bunch of them that way!!
have not had boat out this year.
not like Steve,
w/ be out 1st of April
finishing concrete at Havasu house w/ be done this week

[dicudmore]

congrats Steve :cool:

[dicudmore]

will you be in havasu the 24th?
absolutely :D

[vee-driven]

and the 598 boat was tooo fast and too big for the kind of boat'n we want to do,
I cant believe people actually say those things, "tooo fast, too big", WTF.

[ULTRA26 # 1]

I was think'n the same thing when i was out in the 21' schiada!!!
I don't believe I would be comfortable in a canopy boat either. I need a clear view of what's ahead. You might want to think about Dana's power windshields for your 26, they're nice.

I'll bring this thread back up after about your first 10 hours of boating, When you are running side by side with a Sea Doo and asking how much are headers , how much for a labbed finished prop, what can I do to my 496 to get more speed out of it, can I whipple my motor or should I Raylar it...
Congrats on the new boat, BUY A BIGGER MOTOR, you'll regret it

You are the Man! Force Boats Kick @#$@^!:)

[beaverretriever]

Well the new boat is com'n out of the mold this week, can't wait to see it.
scrapped the 496 power idea, sounded good though
525? 600? I think either of those would be good middle of the road choices compared to what you currently have. Reliable, and still plenty of get up and go.
What are you going to do if you don't sell the current Force. Trade it in? I would love that boat, but don't have the money or the place to keep it just yet.

[phebus]

well it didn't make the may delivery

Looks like they filled the notch in the transom.
Did it have a hiccup problem?
That sure is a tall looking transom.

[Kilrtoy]

Guess they made you pull that post down along with the PICTURE of the splashed gel scheme

[Opinionated]

The 32 is actually beautiful. Force did an awesome job on it, and I'll bet it didn't cost $450K;)

[andy01]

So people post about how bad the boat looked and it gets pulled. Nice

Here. Is there any particular reason why you guys feel the need to knock other peoples sh!t? My friend owns this boat and I have seen it first hand. It is a VERY nice boat. No it's not a DCB, which are very nice boats also, but that doesn't mean you guys have to come on here and slam someone elses just because it's a Force. This boat is top notch, maybe you guys should take a look at it in person before you make judgements.:idea:
By the way, I really don't get the HTM comment, the boat looks nothing at all like an HTM.

Relax man. Your friend has a nice boat. Nobody is knocking it because it is a Force. Personally, I like the Force boats, but I will also say I agree with what somebody else said here that the 32 does have old school lines compared to what other builders are tooling and putting out there and I am not talking about DCB.

I am perfectly relaxed, but what if you just spent a big chunk of money on a boat and there was a thread like this picking it apart? It's common courtesy. I was merely pointing out that the boat looks nothing like an HTM.

I understand what you are saying, but remember everyone is going to have their own opinion and that is all it is an opinion.

[Opinionated]

I totally understand that, but sometimes it's a good show of character to keep bad opinions to yourself. It's a whole lot of boat that he got a good deal on. It's paid for and he's happy with it, so I guess that's all that matters.

What power is in this boat?? what speed??? I can't tell if it looks nice till I see it in person. Do you have any shots of it sitting in the water?? Are they real f16 canopies?? Show some pics of the interior...come on alot of curious people. Is this Mikes boat?? Tell him congrats!

You are exactly right. As long as he is happy that is all that matters and nobody else's opinion should. Hope he enjoys it.

Damn is that Taylors paint job.....
the problem is that the design of the boat is completely up to the customer. There is no in house help. When I designed mine, I had NO help on it. That is the hardest part. The only help I got was form The Educator here on the boards. He PM'd me affering to help me, no conection with Force at all. So all in all, when you have to give the green light for the build, you might approve things before beiong 100% certain.
It is not Force's fault if a gel is splashed at all. It is all up the person buying the boat. Good and bad.
I personally think this 32 is BAD ASS! I have seen it in person. It took a while for the tooling, and it took a while for the them to work the kinks out, but it is a sweet boat.
Sure will give the DCB a run!
Deano, I heard they ran it o 145 mph, not sureif that is true. Also heard it has a pair of 1200 in house motors.

Looks pretty sick to me! The rigging looks to be top notch..looks like they stepped it up..I'd have to see it in person though. Tell Mike to get some Video of this thing running. Whats the weight of the hull??

What does that mean? I think they did a kick ass job on this boat. Again, up the the person paying as to what the boat ends up looking Like.
Looks to me that the DCB's have a yearly trend int he gels. Started off pinks and teals, now they are on to burnt orange, reds and gray. Looks great, but there are a ton of the same looking gels out there. Force, I have seen only when they go tribal look the same. You can only do so much with the tribal gel.
And I am not knocking DCB at all just a personal observation.
Just my $.02

[Opinionated]

Well there are a limited amount of gel colors. Certain colors compliment each other better than others. The color scheme works. It seems to me that the DCB centered more around the orange color and Mike's boat he chose to add more red. Red is the predominant color on the top of Mike's boat and is not on the DCB. It is similar, but I see boats that look similar to other boats constantly in the channel and at the river in general. Unless you want cartoon characters or something on the side of your boat, it is hard to make a fairly simple design stand out from every other boat out there.
Nice DCB by the way...

[That Guy]

Regardless....it is a beautiful boat...enjoy! :)

[OutCole'd]

Not even close except for the colors........
I agree.

[Opinionated]

Yeah, the 32 is mostly white. Actually, I saw what the paint scheme on this boat was going to be originally and my opinion that it was overdone. I think he chose a simple, but very clean and timeless scheme. I think he went the right route. I know that some people have an easy time hating on Force boats, but if you see it in person, you will have a real hard time finding a legitimate reason to hate on this one.

[Kilrtoy]

NOBODY SAID THEY HATED THE BOAT.......:rolleyes:

and hey, the bottom still looks new!!!!!,
hey theres an idea, have everone park their boats in the parking lot
real close together, you know like in the channel, so you could jump from boat to boat, every one could crank their stereo's and show off their boat and trailer at the same time!!!! think of all the gas that would be saved!!!
