Just started taping the inner liner mold today.

Subbed..what number do you think this beast will post?

This beauty will be shipped up to Lake Tahoe... I am sure she will be a beast but we will factor in Prop and Gear ratio to make it run fast up at 6,000 feet.
I am sure we will stretch it out at sea level before it heads up to Tahoe.

We shall see...

Since it looks like we are going to be with this amazing build from the beginning, I would love to see a few details from the build that the builders work really hard on but most people would hardly notice. Gives us some insight into DCB level builds.

Or maybe you have the process dialed and you are just turning the crank. But my guess is the guys on the floor still drop some f-bombs. I know that at minimum I would start sweating when I was cutting the holes for the gauges.

My guess is high 170’s and maybe 180 max

You always have to make sure the benchmarks stay in place right?

Now that's funny....
Grad's would look great in a DCB...

Yes, yes I would. And it would look very similar to this. I still can't believe this one.

Question what is the price difference from a TCM 1400 compared to a Merc 1350?

Gotta love the TCM Sound

The sound of the blower engine is very cool for sure. The cost is in fact very close. Mercury has the advantage with the package and with the TCM engine, you have to purchase the transom assembly and the drive separately and drives the cost up.
Thanks

 

[Tony DCB Boats]

Inner liner shot,deck is cleaned and prepped for taping.

 

[FROGMAN524]

Looking forward to this one.

With all of the sharp edges on that inner liner, infusion really is a big bonus.

When you go to resell it everyone turns there nose up to any other motor unless it says Mercury Racing on it, then they cry about hours on the Merc if it's anywhere near there stupid rebuild mark.

Most buyers of pre-owned will ask and want Mercury power. The resale is a bit better with Mercury engines. TCM is awesome and we have built a lot of boats with them.
The myth of rebuild time on the 1100's and 1350's is exactly that... Most of the fresh water QCV-4 engines will run for 350+ hours. The Bananas M-35 has over 500+ on it now and runs like a watch. If you take care of it and have is serviced and maintained by a certified Mercury shop, then the will take care of you.

Any chance you have a blank drawing of this? My son likes to color them and make different designs.

Yeah when your selling used big power the customers are usually scared to death and using anything they can to beat you down. Just how people are.

This one is fairly intricate gel scheme... Our Gel coat and lamination crew are so good and take so much pride in their work. This one is starting the gel coat process in the early morning.

 

[Done-it-again]

That's a lot of tape.......Don't think I have the patients it takes to lay that down....

Can't wait to see the final out come.......Thanks for posting.

This take hours and hours for sure.... This is day three of taping.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

I would be babbling after 1 hull and these guys crank them out. Amazing!!

Shooting some

Does the TCM and the 1350 perform comparable to each other if cost is similar ?

The turbo 1350 engines make a different level of torque at a lower and higher rpm. The TCM engine is a little more cost effective, however it is not a package like the 1350, transom assembly, and M-8 drive. The 1400 TCM's make great HP and torque as well...

Well now, that was politically correct, now wasn’t it?

Bottom ready to spray, Final deck infusion.

 

[02HoWaRd26]

My guess is high 170’s and maybe 180 max

I’d guess it’s still pulling around the 170 mark, and it’ll come down to who between Bob and Tony have the better water to post the true top end #

This could be like a Easter coloring contest the kid who does it the best gets ...... don’t worry i promise us adults won’t cheat and do it for the kido’s

First infusion is done on the bottom, start fitting balsa today

 

[Gelcoater]

I’m here to tell any of the haters or skeptics.
Yellow pinstripes in the mold is among one of the bigger pains in the ass a gelcoat guy will face...

Ok, now educate us on the reason why?

Final infusion!

Bonded and starting to blueprint the bottom running surfaces.

It’s pretty incredible you get the lines on the deck and the hull to match up dead nuts on

Out of Colorsanding.

 

[BlowMe]

Wow. Gorgeous boat. Cant wait to see it come together and on the water!!

 

[lenmann]

Holy Moly the level of detail in the bilge/engine compartment is over the top. I have smoothed out and flow coated a couple of engine compartments and know how much work that is. Is it materially easier with an infusion hull? How do you guys get the sharp/crisp edges on the tops of the stringers and such?
Hell that one shot of the engine compartment is so symmetrical it looks like a CAD rendering! It's too perfect.

Thank you for the great comments and it is also nice to see someone catch exactly what you are seeing! We spend hours and hours making our boats look as good as they can. We have some molds for the engine compartments and still have to blend everything in... It is over the top, but our engine compartments, and some of the other places in our boats look better than some other's do on the outside finished product.

A little update on the TCM powered M-35. She is in rigging and coming along nicely. You can see this one at the LA Boat Show.

 

[Swain]

Bad Ass Guys

 

[02HoWaRd26]

“And those six guys over there they are all getting brand new shop vac’s from Santa Claus this year”

amazing and it just cracks me up that the guys keep the boats and stay so clean while rigging them and cutting all the holes they have to cut.
