Poker-run experience. 32 DCB

[neverfastenuff]

Hey there I attended a poker run yesterday in my 30 daytona and am looking at having a 32 DCB this fall built. How much better will the 32 Dcb handle the rough boat chop created by all the boats in the run?? I've heard the 32 dcb handles like a bigger boat and I really hope it handles way better in the chop then my 30 did. I was suprised at how the bigger cats cut threw the wash of boat wakes. i was bouncing hard and had to slow way down where there was a 36 nortech and a 32 skater that cooked threw it np. I was in a 36 daytona coupe the other day and it is so solid in that type of water it's unbelievable but to restricted for generally hanging out. How does the 32dcb feel compared to the 36's?? any feed back from members would be most apprecaited. Also i saw the thread on the canopy question and imo the wrap around windshield like the MTI and nortech is the future in boats capable of sustained 130+mph. The pioneers who introed the 1/4 canopies will be left in the dust if they don't adapt....mti and nortech are too restricted in the cockpit for lake lounging so the current west coast open design with a wrap around would and will be the ticket.:idea: :idea: :idea:

[hasselhoff]

I have been extremely pleased with my 32 in the rough stuff. I usually run at mead and it can kick up pretty good in the afternoon. The boat has always been rock solid on any of the lakes on the river. Definetly rides bigger than it is. Never in salt so I can't give you any feedback on open water. Couldn't be any happier with the boat.
Also, get the mill spec canopies. Mine are crystal clear.

[neverfastenuff]

ok tyvm i'll makesure on the canopies. what power are you running?

[Cattitude1]

It's hard to imagine much improvement
small gain from a bit more weight
small gain from packing a bit more air (only relative at 60+?)
Each have a shallower centerpod tunnel compared to the non pod designs
All that said, I was at Grand lake running around Saturday (watched the poker run) and i was really pleased with how it (my Daytona30) cruised over the top at 65-70, I did have to drop into the 40's sometimes for large cruiser wakes amongst the slop, did ok, better than expected.... it's all relative

The difference between my 29 and my 32 is very apparent...29 is more like a hotrod, 32 is a rough water caddy...just my .02

Have you ever done a poker run in your 32?
:idea:

[UnionJack]

My DCB F32 is a good time, if you get one you will enjoy it, but I am sure whatever you get will be fun

[andy01]

The boats your talking about are all very different. Go for a ride in a 32' DCB in rough water, then go for a ride in a 36' Nortech in the same water. Night and day, now tow that 32' DCB to the gas station, then the Nortech. One is a heck of a lot bigger to tow around town, beach and put on the trailer. If you can handle the Nortech or like on a trailer you won't even look back at the 32'. Nothing rides like a true tunnel in rough water. If it did Skater would have a center pod......

I can tell you from experience that hasselhoff's 32 is quite the cadillac ride on Mead. :)

[drejustice]

I wanted to piggy back on this thread for some of you more experience tunnel guys.
I rode in a Poker Run back here on the east coats this past year in a friends boat. They all kept saying I should have brought my 26 shadow deck. I wasn't worried about the wake sizes if was hitting them perpendicular but more on the first mile or so of 75 v-bottom side wakes. Any suggestions on how to handle the side wake washing machine of the large group start other than get a bigger engine and get out front and stay there??? Note size of boats ranged from 25 ft baja up to 42+ sonic's and cigarettes.

[neverfastenuff]

kool I understand the whole true tunnel bigger boat concept when you jump up to the nortech. But Im looking at the 32 dcb in comparison to my 30 daytona, which call me crazy, but I didnt like slowing down below 80mph in the boat chop. and I do know a 33 daytona well only 3 feet longer then the 30 daytona will smoke it in the chop and is a way bigger boat. So with the dcb 32 I want to make sure for the huge up swing in cost that it will out perform my 30 substaintaily. So i'm looking for feed back related to these 2 boats as I like lounging and the skaters etc are not really as user friendly for just chilling on. I want to put fairly big power in the next boat so travelling over a 100mph in the chop safely is what I'm after.:D :D :D

[neverfastenuff]

drejustice. Thats what i'm talking about as well....my 30 cat in regards to side wakes becomes unpredictable at speed unless the tunnels are really deep. So i'm looking for a more sold ride in those conditions.:idea: :idea:

Being that you've owned both. Give us a comparison. They seem the be evenly matched for speed for hp according to the magazine readings.
Do they accelerate the same? Get on plane the same, etc.?

32 ride better than the 30 Daytona? Probably...substantially? I would think not...how much bigger is the tunnel of an F-32 vs your 30'?

[neverfastenuff]

Im not too sure what the difference in the tunnel is. All ive heard is the 32 dcb rides like a much bigger boat. Whatever that means inregards to a comparison I don't know.

[neverfastenuff]

That would be the boat in the avatar Bob. :)
Gotcha! and what is it? sorry for my ignorance but I can't tell by the avatar

[dicudmore]

32 Skater

[40FlatDeck]

That would be a 32 flat deck Skater. We can kick back just fine on my 40 and there is actually alot of storage in the sponsons. No sleeper with built in coolers and stuff but thats why I have friends.:D

[JryLineman]

Check insurance first, Skater will run you double, and thats if your approved!

[hasselhoff]

If your looking for a boat that can comfortably cruise at 100++ through most any conditions and rip off higher speed burst but still have room for gear, coolers, and friends the F32 is perfect. The mixture of high performance and functionality is really hard to beat.
Anyone selling one of these?????????

[andy01]

I know of two none abused very low hour like new 32's that are for sale. Let me know who needs one. :D

29 accelerates harder, 32 planes faster and flatter... the 32 eats the rough stuff quite a bit better, 29 turns slightly better at low speeds, 32 turns slightly better at high speeds and finally........ the 29 and the 32 are both superior boats to Cigs ... especailly the 35' cafe "Racers" ... now there is a contradiction in terms "RACERS"... last boat that heavy to enter a race was the monitor vs the merrimac :eek: :eek:

Is there a big jump in price between the two boats? (And trailers too)

[neverfastenuff]

Wow look how this thread goes a little off!!! Being the oringinal person with the thread maybe I should change it to "whats the best poker run boat vee or cat?" or both all depending on size? My question/inquiery is, because when cutting a cheque for one of these bad boys shouldnt be a decision taken lightly (unless you reall have too much doe:D :D ) I unfortunately don't have any experience with a DCB or really anything other then Daytonas and some big vee's. And I do know theres a way bigger difference between a 30 and 33 daytona then between a 33 and 36 daytona. So why is there such a spread it seems between a 29-30ft boat and a 33? Is it just that the 3ft makes that big a difference or?? and with the DCB 32 I'm looking at and with the comments of it handling like a quote "much bigger boat"how does it relate, especially with big power ie twin 900++ motors & I do know Dave is building them lighter now and will that benefit rough water handling or hinder it?? Has anyone owned/ been in a new daytona 33 and a 32 Dcb?? and whats your opnion?? or should I just goto a full bigger tunnel:idea: :idea: I'm on a big lake which at times the 30 can't handle but the 36 blows threw with easy so I'm concerned the 32 may still have issues, but maybe not with the comment as I said of feeling like a much bigger boat......:confused: :confused:

[seanv]

drejustice. Thats what i'm talking about as well....my 30 cat in regards to side wakes becomes unpredictable at speed unless the tunnels are really deep. So i'm looking for a more sold ride in those conditions.:idea: :idea:
ok, i had a daytona and, it was an incredible boat in smooth and rough water. but, i ended up goin to a 31ao which is a true cat. day and night difference. i do miss the quality of a daytona over the ao but the ride and cabin are awesome on the ao.
as for how deep the hull is in the rough...well, there is a point in any hull where you have to slow down and be safe about it. ive run over 100 in the evening 3-4 footers no problem. that was with nobody around. myself, i would wrather repower your 30 and be ahead of the game. the 30 daytona has proven itself over n over.
as for canopies, i would wrather have them than nothing. i have flaps and a molded windshield but, at 110-120 it's some harsh windblast.
good luck in your decision and to be honest... either boat is awesome so you shouldnt be dissapointed.

[neverfastenuff]

Food for thought ty! I guess i need to go for a ride in a true tunnel. For the price of a dcb Ive seen a few nice nortechs and skators used on the net...I shouldve never went on that poker run and seen them run in the rough!:eek: :eek: :eek: my 30 is faster in good water but they rocked. I'd still like more feed back to my last post from other members to get their .02 please!!:idea: :idea: :idea:

You may want to take a look at the Ultra Custom Boats Section or PM (ULTRA28) that is John West owner of Ultra. They are tooling up their new 32 and it is a true tunnel with a 10' beam and four step bottom and it will havea one piece wraparound canopy. They are taking orders now. First one should be ready for the LA Show in February.

Nice boat, but that interior is a little different...

[Goodtime$]

From a 30 Daytona- Why not go with the 36 daytona?
If your looking 32s? the new ultra or the 32 Spectre would be top choice.
Spectres run hard, no cabin.

Jordy, Dont Mock what you cant afford.... Someone has to own the old shitboxes when people wanna upgrade, In fact I wouldn't doubt that the original owner of your boat upgraded into a DCB or an Eliminator (I know that was low):D :D
Is there a big jump in price between the two boats? (And trailers too)
Dont quote me but I think it's 30k difference.... contact Bryan @ DCB 619-442-0300 he will be happy to get you the proper answers

As far as my boats original owner, he wasn't much of a fan of cats with training wheels, so he upgraded to a 42' MTI, and he even took it out in the ocean. :D :D :D

If I were you I would get it on the market soon, three more will be hitting the market in another month. With the first 32' (from the LA Show) coming on the market today at 280K it isn't going to help resale. Your boat is very nice, as is the case with most 32's.
Also as Charley stated above, best thing to do is call Brian @ DCB and drive/ride in all of the boats.

You just name the Saturday afternoon. Granted, it will probably be tough to work the sticks with my hands trembling in fear at the sight of a DCB next to me (for a few hundred yards), but I'm sure I'll find a way to manage.

You want to compare costs of hauling our boats around? You'll lose on that one, too...lol.
Who paid for your golf on your birthday? I don't remember you getting me anything?

At the Lake Cumberland Poker Run, Extreme Marines Promo Boat with twin Ilmors put on a show. It looked like it handled the rough very well. All the big east coast cats were players and with mild power, the 32 was running in 4th. place. It did look like it was moving around more than the 40 footers, but it was upfront with a full load of passengers. The lake was very rough. By the way my F-34 is rock solid in the rough, just not fast enough with the 575's to keep up. Extreme Marine walked the walk to back up the talk.

yes I imagine your f-34 would handle it np. Thats a deep boat. I am going to stick to westcoast builders so I'm going to decide between the DCB 32 and the 33 Daytona (as I really like the styling) I do know the 33 daytona is way bigger all the way around then the 30 I have & it will handle a lot bigger water, it runs "wet" compared to the 30 Daytona. My only concern with the 33 is the 36 Daytona is faster!! (but I don't need to be in a poker run with water bigger then a 32/33 ft boat can handle!!) which makes me wonder whats up with the design/efficiencey of the 33:idea: :idea: anyways thats why I want to hopefully go dwn to socal soon and ride in both boats (32&33) how does the dcb compare in size to the 33 daytona?

You should drive them all with like power...that is my suggestion....if are gonna be out in the needles area on the afternoon of 8/31 I can give you a quick spin in "sick and wrong" ... let me know:devil:

I think the 33 is a slightly older design and they put in some upgrades to the bottom recently. Ask the factory this question when you go there.
The 32 DCB is a new hull, therefore new design.
When Charley puts down his cheerleader uniform he has some good advice. ;) Do take them both for a ride. Therefore YOU can decide.
There are so many variables that can affect performance it almost impossible to tell which one is faster. Props, drives, motors, X-dimensions, etc.
Opinions are like asswholes. Besides if you are going to spend that kind of $$ I am sure both factories should arrange a test ride so you can make an informed choice.

Although Rare, it's nice to see an Eliminator guy thinking logically :eek: :eek: :D :D
