(Update: $24 Million Estimated Damages) 350+ Boats Destroyed In Portland Dry Dock Fire
A four alarm fire in a Portland dry dock destroyed hundreds of boats last night. Portland Fire and Rescue stated that over 350 boats were inside the dry dock when the entire building became engulfed in a fireball. Due to the small size of the marina and the island, the water supply was insufficient to efficiently fight the fire. The owner was only able to save various files and records from the office. Over 100 fire personnel were called to the fire and the building is still smoldering this morning. Unfortunately the total losses are still unknown but the estimated dollar amount is said to exceed $24 million. (Video Cred: Desmond Moore)

DCB Dominates Performance Powerboats at the LA International Boat Show
One thing’s for sure, the test of time has shown that real quality and the cream of the crop rises to the top. For that matter you can use attendance at a boat show to truly see what brands are healthy and who just may not be around next year?
As the Los Angeles International Boat Show opens, the first thing you’ll see is DCB front and center and representing in the fashion only as a market leader does.
It would seem these guys have raised the bar, and the expectations of the West Coast power boating world so high that even the distant 2nd, 3rd, or hell even tenth place contender of the leading brands didn’t even make the show.
Now we’re not sure what happened to the rest of the west coast high performance builders or hell who still even exists, because let’s face it, if you’re not representing your products to the consumer today are you even still alive?
Well that being said the early crowds were in sheer awe of the boats on display. From M29 to a stunning lime green M35 tilted on its side for all to see, DCB is the star of the show.
The fellas at DCB are going to sit down with us this weekend and give us an insight to all that’s exciting at the brand so stay tuned.
But for now, feast your eyes on a few examples of why these guys are literally running away from the pack:
