I have a 5 year old that watches TV at 80 in the cabin. It is incredablly smooth and I boat at LOTO occasionally and it takes most large wave without blinking. It will run an honest 99 to 102with light fuel and WITH OUT ALL of the crap my wife takes to lake with us for a child to play with, including ice and drinks etc... Otherwise it will run 93- 96 with a full tank and 4 adults . I understand in salt water, they will run alot faster. Bob Leach took me out on lake elinore which is where they test most Eliminators, and only got 97 to 98 with stock four blade Mercurys props. Mine is an 2003. MAKE sure that you test drive a 36 before buying anything smaller including a 30. I trailer my boat every weekend with a powerstroke dually but a 3/4 ton will work fine. It loads really easy (easier than most bass boats.) Just do your homework first. You will not be dissapointed in a 36.

By the way I have thrown around the Idea of selling mine. I kinda do and kinda don't. It is keep in a climate controlled shop and is NEVER outside except when its at the lake. It has the coolest TRIPLE DUALLY AXLE show trailer you have ever seen. The boat is really nice. I am 54 and have boated all my life. I don't get the time to use it that I used to, and I have some other interests that I have thought of pursuring
( 69 SS Camero, motorcycles etc...)

What ever you do I will be glad to visit with you if you want to call me. I would even let you go out for ride if you want to come my way. (918-232-8987) I am in eastern Ok, Robert
Proof that Elim makes a great hull - it is impressive that these speeds are achieved on a 36' boat with relatively tame power.

Thanks for clarifying - I figured low to mid 90's made good sense - but had a tough time believing trip digits.

How long are the bunks on a 36 Daytona trailer? I am getting a lift and want to rig it for a 36'. That way I will not have to redue it when I get a 36'
