This has to be the best art work IMO at the boat show this year. I was awstruck at the quality. These pictures do it very little justice!!
by the way nice meeting you OGShocker... This theme was even carried over to the valve covers. Oh and it had a matching tow vehicle too!

After seeing that Dana in person; I can say that the pictures do not do it justice. The graphics on that boat are just unreal. The matching truck is sick to. I had a chance to chat with Tom at the show. He seems like a super cool guy. I really like the Dana 27. If somebody is in the market for that size boat, it seems like about the best deal out there. He really loads his boats with all the cool options.

I agree with you on the 27. I'm all about a deck boat. BUt we spent alot of time in the 27 at the show. I always wanted a cuddy if I were to get a V bottom boat. And for the $$$ and all the goodies that comes on that 27, you can't go wrong. We're not exactly in the market right now for a boat, but when it comes time, it's gonna be hard to decide now. Thanks alot atomickitn and OG. Now I can't decide. :D I guess when it comes to it, the last determination will be the test rides between a cat and a V.

JMHO... I've had 2 cuddys now. Complete waste of space if you have kids or want to take more that 2 or 3 friends out. They are waaaaaay better looking though.

HUH??? You're saying waste of space???? My boys would dig it. I would hook it up with a couple of TVs down there and take the Playstation. They could watch DVDs. Sometimes they just wanna get out of the sun and kick it. I rarely roll like 8-10 deep anyways. I have a couple of friends with boats too. Between the back seats, and the bow, the Dana 27 would be perfect. A complete walk through in that big of a boat is a waste of space I think. At least a cuddy gives it some separation. A closed bow eliminates a cool ride for the passengers, not to mention a nice seat to chill in while you are floating. Not to mention that in the Dana 27, you could throw a couple of towels on the space between the bow seats and the cockpit and use it as a sun lounger in addition to the engine lid. The Mrs. likes that. :D Then she can lay out and chat w/ me while I drink my beer in the bow seat. :D

East vs West miscommunication! When you said "cuddy" I was thinking "closed bow". There are maybe two mfg. over here that do that. Baja's new 24 and Sunsation's 28. I agree with the mid cabin concept just not the closed bow. ;)

Yea that Dana Joker boat is their closed bow. But there was a mid cabin there too. I have pics, but they are a little X rated. :devil: :D

Not a thing. I was blown away by the raw talent of such a young guy. To think all that work was free handed, hell I watched him do it and still don't believe it..

Wel you're just under 80 for a 27. Then you got the 35K paint job. Then there is a blower motor in that thing. And so on and so on. Things add up.
