Is it just me, or do all three of these first F26s w/ 400Rs have the same graphic? Red, orange and a blue one in the works - all with a black bottom. I just don't understand how anyone would spend $200k plus and look just like every other guy that bought one too. DCB builds beautiful boats, but come on guys, change them up more than a simple color change!

Hi Dave,

Looks like it's running 113mph

Dcbracing was in the convo

Do you know what the green one with triples ran Noli? I heard 120 or so - which sounds about right if the ones with twins are running 113. Of course DCB could always do what Eliminator is doing and go up to the top of the river and run with the 7-8mph current to post a big # to brag about. It kills me that Eliminator is posting online that their 27 Speedsters are running 127 w/ 400Rs - when in reality they probably aren't even breaking 120 on still water.

Yeah downhill speeds doesn't count

Gotta redo all of those speed Tests

But because we're talking about DCB, I'd take any of them

I've never seen DCB advertise false speeds, Tony get's everything out of them possible with big wheels that barely plane sometimes, but the boats will run the #s they post. Eliminator is the one manufacturer that really lies about speed - they've done it for years. And yes, DCB builds a very nice looking, very detailed rig.

I agree Dale, DCB builds a very nice boat. Have to say having had the chance to ride in multiple 400r boats down here not a fan at all of the tall props they all run for the big numbers.
Boats are very sluggish with only 2.6cu even with supercharger.

At least with my boat, on the Colorado, it is faster going against the current than downriver.

The 28 Speedster that ran 126 did so somewhere on Havasu, after the owner had it for awhile and ran under differing conditions. The day after he got it, it ran 119 off the trailer at a small lake, lake elsinore that is close to eliminator and DCB. No Eliminator people ever ran his boat.

The main reason this boat runs so well, is weight, at 4400 lbs on Eliminators scales. The owner, a well known desert off road racer, spent extra $ for a complete carbon fibre layup, not just the standard stiffener section in the hull.

I believe most of the test results are from the lake itself, not the river. The river is narrow in spots with lots of turns and not all that safe the run for top speeds requiring any significant distance. It can be dangerous and I remember the time we cruised over a submerged boat after 2 people had been killed. That area, near the rock canyons is now 5mph due to numerous accidents.

If you look at most of DCBs videos of speed testing with Tony C driving, they are in the main body of the lake.

The black and silver M29 weighed 6400 and I think the orange one, about 6000. They are targeting 5000lbs with new 28 so it should be about as fast as a standard layup 28 Speedster. IMO, the 27 speedster is too small for 400's. It is really the 26 daytona bottom and 8" shorter than the 28. Sitting next to one another, the 28 appears to be a much bigger boat, taller, wider and 1'

Conmax,
Thanks for the info. However I guess your boat defies the laws of physics. GPS's measure speed over the gnd. There is no way your boat could be faster against the current just saying.

More importantly , I want to know where the blue paint scheme came from ...

GPS. Generous Pitot Speedometer.

The answer is Skeeter of course. All colors came from Skeeter.
