If you find a clean platform to start with you can be well under that price and have a really nice boat but not full make over status. The colors are nice on the boat show one. It would be neat if they made one with the same colors but an I/O setup with left side drive and throttle pedal with hidden gear selector.
I’d imagine if you showed up with a box of cash Ricky would see you it your wish is his command
Did RDP or anyone do a build write up or review for this boat? I didnt know Shockwave was building a 26ft deck boat now. Very curious to see a review of how well it preformed.
I know they have had a 26 Cat for a long time but was more curious when they tooled up a deck version of the top mold or if they just modified their walk thru open bow mold. From the pictures you posted it looks like a new top mold then the original walk thru open bow they have had for a while.
The one in Powerboat Mag is the way the 26’ has always been, just with twin OB’s instead of the traditional I/O setup. John’s with the 450’s, they completely re-tooled the front and some minor modifications throughout the rest from the original walk through open bow. John’s front end resembles the 28 Deck more than the previous 26’ Cats do. Also, the 1st 26 with the 400’s, they wanted more storage, so the original engine hatch design stayed. But John wanted more of an open area, so they reduced the old engine hatch by like 75% and opened up the inside of the boat more.
Ya John's boat with the 450's is awesome. Looks like they made alot of changes to the mold to add the front deck portion as well as the side walk past the engine hatch and the integrated swim step. The original 26 Cat mold never had any of those features.
Yea, Speedboat Mag. Lol sorry about thatYou guys keep saying Powerboat Mag...I take it you mean Speedboat? RIP Powerboat.
In Havasu they tow flat, my neighbors the Magoo's and the Smiths just tilt them to put them back in their garages. Actually the Magoos boats (35 and 44 Bananas DCB's) dont fit in their garage so they are building a second house on the lot next door with two massive RV garages to hold the boats, and they are connecting the two homes with a courtyard. River Dave should do a home interview with them, its likely the most bad ass boating house / garage in town.
Slap a pool in the middle and that sounds pretty much like my dream house. There's one similar to that set up for sale right now over by Donkey Acres. Guest house and main house seperated by a pool. Both houses have car garages and then there's a huge double RV detached garage. Sick.
I was mistaken. I thought the white 44 with the big bustle was a true tunnel boat. My bad. I could've sworn they built a non pod boat before.
It is a MYCO tilt with some Adrenaline Trailer's upgrades
I am not sure how he is doing it, but there have been workers there daily for months, one day there was 15 trucks. He has to have them on some sort of performance or deadline bonus, Buffy said they are trying very hard to get it done for DS.
Yes

Hopefully the LHC boat show coverage doesn't get lost in the east coast baller boat coverage
