LMAO...how can you have a "monster fishing team" if you only have two rodholders on your boat? Dang---its pretty---pretty advertisement...pretty wrap......still not getting it. "Monster fishing team"....palllllllleeeeeaaaaaaase!!!!! Sorry I can be very honest when its the weekend.

I don't get the old school throttles and shifts. Probably spring loaded like the old racing style/for a race boat not a fishing boat :)

Zero effort electric controls are what those throttles are

Front console and bow forward resemble a SeaVee. ;)

I think the OP's ego runneth over, and while some may like the wrap, I think it's ugly.

Team Monster Energy is an SKA fishing team so they dont need rod holders just need to go fast. Most winners catch there winning fish befor they get the 2nd rod in and then drink beer all day. Just ask the team that showed up at the 2006 great jax tourney early and party all day till weight in telling everyone they had a 70lb fish. When they finally pulled it out of the fish bag to show everyone they found out it was a wahoo not a king

That is some funny stuff.....would have loved to see the looks on their faces when the weigh-in judge said---You a-holes...thats a wahoo! :rofl::rofl:

if this is the same team that fished the US Open in Southport last year then they drink beer and party regaurdless of when the fish is caught, i think they started before they caught bait

hehehehe, x2 what R&R said! :thumbsup:

the floor layout of the boat was actually pretty nice...two issues...
1. the gun wales are literally like 2 feet wide
2. there is like 4-5 feet from the livewell to the engines

other then that, i should see a bunch of these running aground around elliot key....

Are the electronics purposely mounted at angles to make one or the other level as the boat chine walks and rolls at drift? :)

You guys are tough.......:rofl: But I would like to see proof of the team mistaking a 70lb Wahoo for a king! How thw EFF does that happen????????????????????????

Yet another big center console, with lots of engines, and a horrible wrap. *yawn*

Where do you put all the rods;?

WTF you don't even have kingfish rod holders on the t-top and this boat is for a SKA team?

Nice try but back to the drawing board for Deep Impact.

Thing is sick.. I would rock that.. probably get so much chicks with it.

I looked at the boat today and it is much more of a fishing boat than previous models..Hell the contender LS had a grill built in the back with a table and PLEATHER(Plastic leather) bolsters..

I am no fan of the Go-Fasts. I did stop and speak to the Monster team.. Nice guys out of Canaveral. This is their first year as Monster & Deep Impact Team BTW. This is Hull # one of the new cap, and it is all fishing. This is a Show boat, and not the competition hull that is almost completed.. They were just showing off the cap and their wrap. Tourney boat will have V300's too.

They did a decent retro on this hull from where they started. The console is not slanted, but is a wrap around style with these carbon fiber panels in front of the instruments.. The new owner of Deep Impact is said to have beefed up the stringer grid and reinforced the structures to take on the Tourney circuits..
We'll see. I agree on the wrap: That many greens in a pattern should be huntin camo.
I wonder if they pour that Monster juice in the livewells to supercharge their livebaits ? LOL
Woodsie

I don't get the old school throttles and shifts. Probably spring loaded like the old racing style/for a race boat not a fishing boat :)They are high dollar and suppose to be the sports look but a PITB to dock with a cross wind and your having to shift like lightning while keeping your nose off the pier. :rofl:

Love the downstairs. ..........100% :thumbsup:
Like the dash all but the shifters. 80%
Like the flooring..........90%
Wish they had made the back end all the way across by the bait tank. 30%
Not fond of open doors or space back there on a CC.
Don't care much for wraps...

Yes,, The transom doors slide open and closed.. Would not work well when working a big fish from the corners.. Gimme one clean corner at least !

I saw Mr. Livorsi there doing a consult on the console for the SKA boat.. Pretty impressive conversation.

That I'll give them credit for. With as few fish as we can show back at the landing when checked, there is a certain Fountain thats having its own make over also.
Going to be putting new meaning to the words "Sea Food" on a lot of our boats if things don't slow on this save the fish issue and its not such a bad idea. Makes a nice addition to a already great trip. Just smile when others ask where do you go to enjoy your sea food.


BSPOT Get some coffee.

Thanks for the offer but I had to give up coffee and kool aid, they were effecting my way of thinking properly.



Not sure if most of you notice but DI comes on this site twice every year for some free advertising. One of their newbies will chime in during the MIA boat show and then another will get a new screen name right around the May sprint race about how they are going to smoke anyone who shows up. Just saying!;?

I am not offended by the little intro.. It was tasteful. I found it interesting to look at all the trip engine 35+ boats and speak to the owners/reps. My fishin buddy is having a different brand built. Setting up a new boat is more important than just drinking the Kool-Aide and entrusting them.. Dealing with six livewell pumps, five AGM batteries and setting up the console for electronics correctly, the first time.. is tricky.. Then, do you document the vessel as a single-asset LLC, or register privately and overinsure for liability? These guys, like everybody else at the Show.. were most helpful..

I am not flush enough for one of these rockets, so I kinda live vicariously through those who do own and fish them. I will have the great opportunity to fish this new boat over in Chub Cay, Spanish Wells and perhaps even San Salvador. Do I care if it is as hard core as a YF, or as fast as a Midnight, or as ritzy as an Intrepid.. No ! But It is a bullet-proof CC to fish the Central Bahamas.

That trash talker about the Slam Race was so re-tahded that he could not be part of the Factory Team.. Just the teenage son of a D/I owner.. You know the type..

Anybody who is keeping people working these days gets my nod.. I hope they do well.

Greetings from the Miami Boat Show. Those of you unable to attend are missing a great show... Not just our boats, but there are plenty of new things from many builders.

I'd like to clarify a few things about our new 36 TE...
The boat at the show is boat #1, our prototype/R&D boat. We could have waited until more testing was done before bringing the boat public, however we felt it was best to bring our new boat out, regardless of it's state of completion. The show boat is not even rigged yet... The intention is to let everyone see that we mean business, and have spent time and money to make our boat more fishable. We have received many valuable comments and suggestions while at the show...which is great feedback for us.
This new boat is a serious fishing machine.
The boat is not done... I have a list of many things that will be added and/or changed in the near future.
Every boat we build is custom, and laid out for the client. We will build you boat with no rod holders if you like.... or go to the extreme....
Our relationship with Jason and the Monster Fishing Team will bring great things for all involved. We're with them, as are many other manufactures of key components.
The boat show boat is not their boat. We wanted this boat to get wrapped to increase the exposure for the team. Yes, the wrap didn't turn out well. It was installed wednesday at the booth.... it'll be redone before this boat appears at any other events.

Our doors are always open at the factory... Come by and take a look. This is the NEW Deep Impact. Many things have changed.

See you on the water.

LMAO...how can you have a "monster fishing team" if you only have two rodholders on your boat? Dang---its pretty---pretty advertisement...pretty wrap......still not getting it. "Monster fishing team"....palllllllleeeeeaaaaaaase!!!!! Sorry I can be very honest when its the weekend.


lol, at least the wrap covers the lines somewhat.

one thought with this boat, Spring Break Miami and Girls. No rod holders, and race controls? not a fishing boat IMO.

I thought I liked d.I. before I saw this thing.... not for me.

I guess Trip 350 SCi's make it a Hardcore Fishing Boat....LMAO

I think the inside of the boat from the pictures actually doesnt look to bad at all. Tournament guys dont run hard tops, they break them. I would also rather have a livewell in the seat rather than a cooler (you can never have enough livebait) A coffin box for me is a must so, I would rather the two floor hatches up front were switched around making the longer hatch the aft one to accomidate a coffin box because its to far forward at the moment. I still dont like the line on the outside of the boat the way it curves down. Do you offer a side door console with a built in cooler seat? How much Boat/motor/trailer w/out elcetronics?

NASCAR on water

Nice second post!

I think they should have purchased a wheel before they posted that.

Reading some of these posts remind me of a woman that says, "Yeah, but she's got fake breasts."

Who cares...it looks good. Clearly this isn't going to wind up at your dock. Just enjoy the show.

Couldn't have put it any better!

Clearly this isn't going to wind up at your dock. Just enjoy the show.

you got that right.....


but no matter how you dress (wraps) the D.I. it is still one fugly looking boats....

24-7,
I believe this hard top will hold up. However, I don't mind doing a canvas top if the buyer prefers...
The helm seat has a small livewell above the cooler. It is very easy to omit the cooler and let the livewell extend down the entire height of the helm seat....

We are working on the coffin box design. The small hatch being back was to give more space between the coffin and the front of the console. This console has a forward lift up door. We didn't want that area to be cluttered. There is no problem getting the coffin box in the boat.

The drop in the hull and deck creates a unique look... Some like it, some don't. The intention is that the boats are unique.

The console has the opening at the front. I could finish it
solid and do a side entry door... However the side of the console has a lot of style to it, and simply opening a hole and using a bifold type door would really kill the look..

We are offering the boat at a base of $199k with twin 300s. A nice triple 300 boat with decent electronics will come in around the $240k area.(obviously depending on options and features selected).

Please keep the comments coming. We like to know what the buyers want to see.

Thanks,
Tim

Buy a WHEEL!:spammer:

I give tim deepimpact a thumbs up! I started on the last page of this thread and was surprised that you have chosen to brave the THT crowd head on. There are always a bunch of non boat owning haters. Take what the actual owners have to say here and keep it in mind, there are alot of VERY informative people on here with alot of experience. Rather I like Deep Impact or not, you responding here says volumes that you want to better your product. Good for you.

Buy a WHEEL!:spammer:

I am the type of person that would buy a boat like this but I cannot respect the fact that you would promote your product and not follow proper procedure. Buy a wheel!!!!

are you happy now???

man that is one ugly boat.... I saw it at the show and couldnt help but think that this boat is hideous.... running and the way it sits in the water.... just horrible....

no wonder you only see these at the sandbars.... no person in their right mind would ever purchase one of these when yellowfin, contender, invincible, sea vee, sea hunter, bahama exist....

bad fishing platform
ugly lines
engines are set back way to far
wasted space around transom
gun wale high in the bow, like a 42 yellowfin


you guys should stick to selling boats to people who know nothing about boats and being on the water.....

wow you guys talk alot of smack owning boats that look like 90% of whats on the water .....funny that you guys give DI shit because they dnt look like a contender or a seavee or any other PRODUCTION boat ....

Tim nice on the Anchor! Your bringing your vision of what a big CC should be able to do. Your letting your clients tell you what they want. Customer service is key to keep them. All the haters have spoken. After looking at your bottom you have something for em that's for sure. Most of these guys don't understand that no matter what the sheer looks like it's the bottom that makes it a keeper Good luck
PS The only thing I would add would be higher cap base fuel for a trips set-up

Can you post more pictures of the boat?

Tough crowd, geeze. I dont know bout all that. Other than the lines on the side, I think its a great boat.

I like the inside of the boat...not sure why they used the old Gaffrig controls?. I just have never warmed up to the lines. The rolled gunnel in the rear tears me up. Kinda reminds me of the old offshore Boston Whaler..

Except the Whalers looked a lot nicer!:grin:

Smells like a lot shit burgers got eaten yesterday Congrats to you and you hull design Tim:thumbsup:

I would be happier than a fat kid with cake to fish that boat knowing that I am not footing the bill for note, fuel, etc...

Actually saw this boat running north of haulover today.... actually didnt have the same flare it seemed as the other deep impacts when riding... boat looked nice with a blacked out fishing team....

not a ugly as it seemed out of the water...

are you happy now???

I'm very happy it seems Deep impact has done well this year. No out of the way smack talk they have conducted themselves in a very professional manner this year. Congratulations on the win at the slam. So what is the makeup of those boats all fiber glass lets get some details. We don't need any Balsa problems down the road. lol

Yes,, The transom doors slide open and closed.. Would not work well when working a big fish from the corners.. Gimme one clean corner at least !

I saw Mr. Livorsi there doing a consult on the console for the SKA boat.. Pretty impressive conversation.

Put the boat in gear plane up the fish move on to next big fish
I love the bait tank Like to see a biger tacle center and extend the center
toiliet area add a bunk or 2 with a/c and yes 32 more rod holders.

Why do y'all give DI so much shit? It's like everybody gangs up on them. Pretty childish if you ask me. They operate on this site exactly as Wiley at YF has before, the same as Billy with Freeman, and countless others, yet the verbal barrage against them is relentless. Why is it OK to blast them and tell them how ugly their boat is and "lol" at their designs. You guys need to grow up, offer constructive critiques or leave them alone. How would you like somebody on a huge public forum blasting a business you put all your money, heart and soul into?

I'm off my soapbox....

BTW--nice boat--fastest one out there and the layout continues to get better. Well done.

I never said there boat was ugly, con-grads to them on the win. I felt they should buy the wheel because they were using the site for advertising. I would like to know how the boat is constructed. What is it made of how is it done? What are its limitations What are we looking at price wise? They have proven to be a contender (no pun). Now for all of us who like go fast center consoles lets get the rest of the information.

Damn nice looking boat DI, congrats guys.........................There is a reason why PPL put shit on what others have

Very nice boats. They can be set up as hardcore fishing machines too. That wrap is VERY unflattering, check their site to see some better color designs. i really don't like graphics at all especially something that busy. I'm ready to see their 42'.

When was DI sold again?

Tim yes we are happy you paid to promote your product. In the grad scheme of things (240K per boat) 50 bucks is chump change for the input from potential buyers. should have bought the wheel and not been smart about it.

DI has come on here for years and talked smack, started drama, and been banned numerous times, just sayin. glad your here with a more professional tone.

tim- the Boat, how are you reinventing the wheel in the fishing platform? let's see some Pics please. SMALL LIVEWELL- how small? Sounds like an eventual trash can or cooler. Rod Holders....You should have overigged this boat to not be playing catch up after the biggest media and "tire kicker" exposure event of the year, BAD MOVE. that boat should have made fisherman go "holy chit", not "where's the rod holders? live wells? the cooler is a waste, teams use bean bags for seats, deck insulated boxes for coolers, and want two big live wells if they can. The whole station is not a good use of space and weight, get ride of it.

THE Head- I see a HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS. Here is an example of putting stuff for your sandbar clients in you "fishing"platform. Finish the inside of the console for storage and gear. find an innovated way for me to access my stuff easily and you will get my attention. I piss in the water, crap in the water, shower with the fresh water pump or swim in, yup you guessed it THE OCEAN!

nice job on the wheel tho! I was going to call you out on that too!

fastest out there is a stretch, just b/c they won this years slam race? Fastest is a waste, give me the efficient hull at 45-50 knots that has the best fishing platform.

I am about to buy a use DI 33 with trip Yamaha 300, I have always liked Di form the way they look to the way they ride. I am just a little worried that they haven’t been around for a wile like contender, intrepid, ect.....i spoke to TIM today because the DI i am thinking of buying i sent a SURVEYER out to check on the boat.... he was there for 8 hours and sent me a 21 page report.....the only thing that worried me was that the PORT and CENTER motor have not been registered with Yamaha (Nor do they come up in the YAMAHA USA records) and they both have around 180 hours......The STARBOARD motor has been registered in the US but has 380 hours on it KINDA SKETCHEY???......On top of that, the gauges on the boat read that all 3 motors have around 400 hours on them.......Can anyone tell me why this would be?

just like what Schmaltz~Herring posted the bow is almost the same thing as seavee, i think these boats have too much hype.

Sorry to have been away from the forum for awhile guys...
Thanks for the comments.

The boat that you see is the Prototype.
We are now nearing completion on the "Production" model.
We changed the transom area to allow for two livewells, with the transom door to port.

The helm station has been change to have a LARGER livewell and no sink.

The T Top frame has been completely redesigned for strength and function.

The Entire dash face of the console has been redesigned. The GPS' have moved closer to the operator, and the throttles back as well. There is a style line around the perimeter for more style now.

I'll get some pics of the changes up as soon as the boat is completed (roughly 2 weeks).
The prototype will come back from the Monster Fishing Team, and they will take the first production boat. (I do have a buyer for the prototype boat)

The head is a catch 22. Personally, I don't think a boat needs a head system unless it is 50+'. But, I'll never be able to sell a boat that doesn't have a head.... That said, I am more than happy to build a boat for someone without the head system and redesign the head area for specific storage...

Construction- We use Corezyn Vinylester resin and foam coring. There is NO WOOD in our boats.
We changed the production to utilize fiberglass and core Kits. These are engineered CNC cut fiberglass kits that give our people pre cut glass and core that fits inside the mold correctly. There are fewer overlaps and nearly no trimming. This increases consistency, builds a bit quicker, increases strength, and most importantly...reduces chance for human error. These boats are VERY strong. (Stringers and transoms are CNC cut foam as well)
All lamination is done by hand. No chopper guns here...

Can we get some build pics and what is a style line?

Can we get some build pics and what is a style line?

I'll try to get back onto the forum with some pics tomorrow....

The pics of the console show the raised "bullnose" style line added to the console around the panel area...

The helm station received recesses for the tackle centers and a much larger livewell with double lid.

even the console is fugly......

even the console is fugly......

Everyone gets you dont like how they look!! Now shut up and just enjoy your boat:mad::mad:

Do you guys do a version with a full windshield?

Do you guys do a version with a full windshield?

We can certainly use eisenglass or strataglass for a full wrap enclosure.
We have just redesigned the t top frame. Once the first one is installed, I can look at changing the windshield for Full Protection...

Nearly everything is an option, even if we do not currently have it in production... :)

Any pictures of the stringers going into the hull? rigging tubes etc.

Looks good Tim. Thanks for posting and as far as Monster getting a fishing team... whatever. More exposure and more sponsors is good for the sport and the purse sizes.

Half to haters on here can't afford the props for the boat let alone a new DI. Don't let them get you down.

Looking forward to some more pictures when you get time.

These large center consoles are incredible. Just curious the entrance to the head if those gas struts fail like the ones on my rear hatch it must be a motha to lift get out of that cubby hole. I looked at a contender with a forward kill box and the linear actuator failed and the box was frozen to the deck. Just curious any fail safe measures to get out of the head if the actuators fail or struts fail other then flushing yourself down the toilet?;?

Our 36 TE uses gas springs to assist with the head "lid". Yes, over time they get tired and need to be replaced, but will not lock you in.
We use electric actuators on some of our boats. The type that we use only lift, not pull... Which allows you to manually lift the hatch if needed.

Another console picture...
We can rig the boat as a center steer if preferred.

I like the looks of the inside of the console. The clear door access for the switches is a great idea!

The battery switches run off remote toggle switches on the console... There is actually no need to manually turn the switches.... Pretty cool system.
The yellow switches are automatic VSR parallels.

DI rigging looks better from the pictures, new guys in that department or implementing new standards?

Tim is the new guy down there now and hes doing an awesome job with not only the rigging but new ideas and designs for lay out etc. DI is definately a company that you go to when good enough just isnt.

DI is definately a company that you go to when good enough just isnt.

Well said. I knew the guy that had the idea for DI and opened the company(not sure if he is in the picture still) and he had the exact same mentality.


Armando

Forgive me for not saying earlier but the interior of your console is the best I have ever seen. Very well thought out. I looked at a 36 contender with a friend who was going to buy it probably early 2000 boat and all the connections were corroded inside the console from the seal failing around the door and never getting fixed. The dipcit salesman told us they all did this. Besides it would turn my stomach to think someone in there could accidently put their hand :wet: on terminals and either get the shock of there life or short out one of the components. Thumbs up guys very nice rig.
