M42R
Dominance, Defined.
The Widebody Beast.
The M42R is the flagship model in DCB’s outboard lineup, and it’s in a class of its own. This powerhouse takes everything DCB is known for—bold design, precise handling, and exhilarating speed—to the next level.
With its sleek and aggressive stance, the M42R represents the peak of innovation in DCBβs catamaran family.
Raw Power
Powering the M42R are twin Mercury Racing 500R outboards—standard and exclusive to this model. Engineered for those who demand the pinnacle of performance, the supercharged 500R delivers blistering speed, responsive handling, and relentless acceleration. It’s the only power package worthy of a platform this advanced, ensuring the M42R lives up to the elite super cat pedigree that defines DCB.

Expertly
Designed and constructed at DCB’s state-of-the-art Phoenix facility, the M42R is a bold expression of exotic performance and engineering mastery. At its core lies DCB’s proprietary vacuum-infused, multi-layer all-composite lamination schedule. Both lightweight and strong, it is an aerospace-inspired structure that integrates carbon fiber for maximum rigidity, Kevlar for exceptional impact resistance, and advanced composite coring for lightweight strength and vibration dampening. These materials, and the precision required to work with them come at a cost—but it’s an investment that sets DCB apart in both performance and longevity.
Handcrafted Interior
The M42R is available in a six or eight-seat configuration. Blending luxury and performance with power-adjustable bolsters, billet footrests, an Alcantara dash with French stitching, and custom marine flooring options, every detail is designed for comfort and style.
Infotainment
The M42R is equipped with dual 7″ Garmin 743 side screens and a 16” Garmin 1643 center display, all delivering advanced navigation and engine data. Integrated with Mercury SmartCraft Connect, everything works seamlessly for a refined, intuitive boating experience.
Stereo System
Our Phase 1 stereo system features a Fusion Marine Bluetooth/Wi-Fi head unit and four JL Audio 7.7″ speakers, delivering rich, clear sound to match the boat’s handcrafted luxury and performance.
Custom Graphics
We collaborate with Wes Jones Design to deliver custom graphics. Every vessel features a premium gel coat finish with a striking black windshield register, complemented by high-gloss detailing.
Lighting It Up

Built For Durability
