Oh that still stands 100%, Patrick explained why he is doing , what he is doing and what his plans are for the future. I agree with him.
And on that same note, that last time this discussion happened, the owner called me after about 3 trips and regreats listening to everyone who said the 496 was enough and said he wished he would have listened to me and went with the 525HP.......
Thanks Glen......
hey Pat now you can bring that up north. great looking
Well, after much thought...and waiting (24 years) I have ordered my boat as of today.
I am proud to say the boat I have purchased...drumroll please...
2006 DCB Mach 26
It will feature a 496HO (probably slowest DCB every built),

Thanks again for everyone who made this possible, plus everyone who has allowed me to tag along with them over the past XX years.
Enjoy,

Congrats Patrick!! Your graphics look great, Any of the manufacturers you shopped would have built you a great boat, but I'm glad to see you joining the Family . Don't worry about being the slowest, I hear that spot is taken by the guy with the oldest single owner DCB. :crossx: I may be old and slow.....but I'm always there. Congrats again, patience and good decisions are paying off for you.

What are his plans, I missed that part?
Well, after much thought...and waiting (24 years) I have ordered my boat as of today.
First off, I would like to thank John West at Ultra, Keith at Conquest and Gene at Howard for all being great people, whom I will always consider great friends, and would be proud to own their boats any day of the week. You've all been extremely patient, always been very helpful and answered my calls and questions for the better part of a year (Gene since I was in college...last 5 years).
I am proud to say the boat I have purchased...drumroll please...
2006 DCB Mach 26
It will feature a 496HO (probably slowest DCB every built), midcabin-cuddy, IMCO single ram steering, front and rear cap with stainless side rail, one off graphics, LED lights, GPS speedo, bluewater indicator, triple axle Extreme with custom wheels, LEDs, and stainless fenders...and a stereo that is still in the works.
Special thanks to Bryan for all your work within the past week, Dave for accepting me into the DCB family, and Charley, Toby and Miguel for making this decision very easy.
I look forward to seeing you all on the water. No exact delivery date yet, hoping for March, but may be a little later. Either way...I am out of the "tire kicking" club...and I have no plans of finding a replacement
Here are my graphics (no coping...I will sue) For anyone looking for graphic help, contact the Edukator on the boards. He has been an extreme help to me. I had a few ideas I liked, drew up and needed them "fine tuned" needless to say, they are now better than I ever invisioned. Thanks again Russ for a job WELL Done-- its been great working with you.

Not to be an ass, but so be it...havn't those graphics been done to death on the Cougars?
DCB does boats the way they should be done, very clean.
Plus I hear all DCB owners grow new heads of perfect hair...that is never out of place.
