your boat looks pretty good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pictures were really hard to get in the "shed" area! The boat is my usual style; lots of silver, pewters, blacks (subtle colors) with pearls; kinda like a high-end auto design.
The red pins are really dark cherry....look too red in the pictures (flash?)
Here are a few teasers, I expect to get some full side and top shots in a few weeks.
Thanks for looking:

New2cats:
The fourth picture looks sick:jawdrop: . I'm gonna have to go by DCB and take some pictures for you--- those are definite teasers.
I am a big fan of silvers, pewter and charcoal with white accents.
In the sun it should really "pop". I want to see the deck and the front sponsons.
Patience---remember custom takes time.
DCB is nothing but custom. I haven't seen too many boats come out of that shop that didn't impress:D .

Thanks bro...wife keeps sayin "too much pearl again dumba$$"..what can I say, I am tacky!!!! You saw my new truck pix...way overboard....that is why they call it "Kustom wif a K, yo"!! How about a name like "Bass-Kat" or "Pearl-Pu$$y"?

Maybe ask Bryan if they can roll her out into the light..they were too busy today....would love some long shots of the side and top shots.....

No! problem with the photos--- I plan on being in that neighborhood next week.
It still is in the color sanding stage wait until the final stage and buffing it will snap--- and your wife will be pleased.
Name selection you need some help---as those names are not going to endear you to your wife :jawdrop:.
Very truly yours,

Got it..just joking on the names..I went in to the excersize room and said.."I've got it....pearl pu$$Y"...she replied with a frown and grunt " no f-in way that boat will be named pu$$y anything..got it.."....what are you some Havasu Yahoo (maybe:idea: ).......YES DEAR........:(
-
Looking good man. Can't wait to see it all done.
-
Thanks ARA; bad pictures, i know...could not get good perspective..will take some in rigging!! She is very blinged-out... a bit on the crazy-lazer-pearl side but it will get attention for sure...no need for crazy circus colors (I do love your boat by the way!!)...let's do an Odar/Armo trip to Havi....that would be killer.....no Basterma (sp?) aloud!!!:eek: ;)
-
Sounds good to me. Speaking of Basterma, check this out:

Hope you understand, if not, show it to your wife. It's hilarious.

Congrats, the boat looks awesome, it is always exciting seeing it for the first time, are you going with the carbon fiber guage layout, that will look sick with the colors you picked. Cant wait to see you on the water!
-

Too busy! Are you fu*king kidding me. You just drove 3+ hours to see YOUR boat that you spent probably $250,000 on and they can't take the time to roll the boat out and snap a few shots. I have a DCB and that really doesn't sit well with me. I hope this is not standard practice with these guys as I have bought my boat used so I haven't had any contact with them directly.

Yeah, that is kind of CS...
-
too busy? or did you just not ask? ask and you shall receive.

Bryan will send you pics throughout the whole build and rigging process if you want. Not having time to roll the boat out for pics? Does not sound like the DCB guys to me.

Thanks bro..yes, the new silver carbon fiber gauges....should look ultra-bitchin.
We are kicking around "Wicked Pearl" as the name as it is WAY pearlized (is that a word??)!!!

Let me clarify (wow, some real emotion here).....they were cutting the floor, working on the cooler openings, etc...they were TOO BUSY WORKING ON MY BOAT....not too busy to help me.....they have all been very cordial, professional, fun and attentive at DCB...no complaint here....do not want to give a bad rap to a great crew/company!
-

You are correct, Bryan sent some shots...we were at DCB to pick interior colors/design...boat looks way cooler in person...flashes ruin the red pins..makes them look too vibrant and bright...the pins are actually a deep red cherry burgundy-ish!!!

HB fans..thoughts on the new carbon fiber-look interior vinyl for boats....love it, hate it??? Will it go out of vogue??? Use it for all, some, accents???
We have done our priliminary interior design and have avoided the c-f look, went with 2-ton gray faux leathers, burgundy piping and perf. black inserts......
Any thoughts, opinions....smart-ass comments aside!!!

As common as white is, it's practical. I have silver (carbon fiber look) inserts and they get HOT!! Avoid color in the seating areas. Try to get as much white in those areas as possible. The seats don't look nearly as nice with towels covering them. Although I'm sure Dave will be glad to sell you some DCB logo'd towels for about $100 each.:D

Got it.....yes, they have already initiated project "towel upgrade"...I am not cheap but I assume I could get some towels embroidered in bulk for about $8 a piece.....maybe with our boat name on them in place of another logo-promo for our builder..just a thought:idea: :D

You don't seem to keep boats long enough to matter anyway. :D

Let me know if you need some towels. I've got a buddy that does towels, hats, bags and just about anything else you would think to logo. He'll do colors to match the boat with your boat name or whatever you want.

hey x , would you pm me with a # or a e mail address for your buddy with the towel shop ! thanks TUNNEL T

I promised the family this new boat stays for 5 years; I will probably be made a liar....

Crappy sketch of the seat design (all new pattern):
http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...cats/seat2.jpg
Went with a medium gray "leather-like" material for the outer surround, a light gray super soft vinyl in "Quicksilver-oyster gray" for the body of the seat, dark red/brugundy to match pins on boat for the welts and black (ouch, my A$$) carbon fiber black for the insets.....all in black stitch!!!Should have named the boat "SOLAR PANEL"!!!!
-
Other than a few spots that may get hot, I think the seats will look great.

Thanks....funny how you work so hard to design a bitchin' seat..then you buy custom towels to cover them!!!!! We sent 6 new silver-gray towels to Darla at DCB...she is going to have them embroidered for us...pretty cool service.
OFF SUBJECT-
Just for the record; YES, DCBs are way tooooo expensive considering they are still just fiberglass/composite and an engine BUT that point aside, we have been treated like royalty at DCB by the entire team....no disrespect intended but a much different buying experience than at the other places we have purchased custom boats from incl. Magic/Sleek & Howard...I know, I know....you get what you pay for! We have found that is not always true in the world of custom anything!!! Furthermore, they already have 90% of our $$$$$ so "payday" is not the motivation!
JMHO-:)

Boat likes vey nice. Very classy, love the colors.

Thanks...I know she is a bit off main-stream but I really feel we will be seeing more of the primary auto colors on boats soon!!??:idea:

I think it looks bad ass.
Our current boat is a glossy battleship grey color with charcol grey Shelby stripes and pewter and silver carbon fiber interior. So you know I like your colors.
Congrats on the beautiful boat. :)

Its coming along very nicely. Congrats again. Looks like ours will be at the L.A. show too.

Sounds killer....can you post or PM a picture of your rig???

Boat looks incredible. The combo of the seats and the boat will come together very nicely. Truly a year round boat. Warm in the winter and HOT in the summer. :jawdrop: ;) :D
Looks great!!
