DCB Delivers Walkthrough M33R Widebody to Brett Baur
DCB Performance Boats of El Cajon, CA, has delivered a walkthrough/open bow version of its M33R Widebody to Brett and Sheila Baur of Ogden, UT. The boat was delivered during this August’s Big Cat Poker Run.
“It was a fun trip,” Baur tells Speedboat. “I’d never been there before, and got to run on the California Delta—that was some totally different boating. We had a great time!”
This is the third M33R with the full walk-through open bow, according to company President Jeff Johnston, and is hull #10 of the M33R model.
It’s also Baur’s first DCB, after owning speedboats built by a variety of other manufacturers.
“Tony Chiaramonte at DCB and I have been friends for years before this build,” Baur says. “We’ve talked for years about my doing something with them. Eventually, I decided I wanted something a little smaller that what I’d owned previously, so that’s kind of how this came about.” With its twin Mercury Racing 450R outboards, Chiaramonte test-drive this M33R in SoCat at 114 mph.
Working with Tony and the entire crew at DCB was a pleasure, Baur says. ” I just sent them some colors and photos of ideas I liked, and let them just run wild with it,” he reports. “They kept me up to speed on the boat’s progress during the build. They were great to work with.”
Baur owns Brett’s Towing in Ogden, as well as an environmental cleanup company.
