Look forward to seeing you out there this summer, Even though you'll be in a CHARLEYS CUSTOM BOAT.

Congrats on the new boat. You can't go wrong with the quality of a DCB.
On a different note I was wondering why so many people have a problem with a 26 cat having a 496? I think that is fine if you have realistic expectation of how the boat will perform. After all don't the majority of 28' deckboats come with the 496? I don't see to may of them upset about the performance of their boat. Just asking a question.
:idea: :idea: ok its not a copy, you're safe
congrats, lookin' forward to cruising with you
You guys are both getting some beautiful new rides. Cruisin this summer will be a blast. Hope I can keep up. :rollside:

My guess is you can do that at 4000 rpm...if not less
Up 4 River--I agree with you. I think we would all like a 100mph boat with tons of power, but we don't all need that...yet...

This is shaping up to be a good summer...

I second that
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)

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,

Awesome,make sure you spend the extra money and upgrade to the xr drive in case you want to upgrade motor later on.Dana makes the quick fender disconnects that are nice.I wish I knew about them when my was being built.Also have them pre wire for stereo equipment if you decide to go with stereo later. May want to think about 496 instead of 496ho and Ralar kit later on, alot cheaper way to go and you will get the same hp's if you go with the better kit.They just use the same block.Good idea to going with external steering now.Good Luck.
Look forward to seeing you out there this summer, Even though you'll be in a CHARLEYS CUSTOM BOAT.
