What canopies do you have? I bought one from Eliminator that was trash. The pair on the boat now form Aero Marine are very nice. I have one for the port side that is brand new from Aero Marine if you are in need. you can pm me or email if you want lilpetesrodshop@hotmail.com

Contact Aero Mairne for clear canopies and windscreens.

Tell them what size boat and what year it is and they can help if you need new ones.

Or did Eliminator change you for new Aero Marine canopies?

ive talked to kenny he has been very nice. and had offered to do it at cost for around 4 grand. first i dont buy that cost is that high! i quess why i am so pissed is this. 1. i have owned 13 of eliminators boats. not all new. my last 3 where a new 2001 26 daytona. a new 2005 26 daytona. and the 1 i have currently a used 2007 28 daytona. all my years owning these boats i never once was told that the warranty only goes to the first owner. the drivers side cannopie is very hard to see through and the passanger cannopie is starting to crack. i took the boat to a glass co they told me it was over tightend by the factory. and if you look closely you can see there are alot of tiny cracks starting to happen where it was screwed on. im from wi, so its not like this is the eliminator capital of the world but we have helped sell atleast 3 daytonas to people who ave seen, and ridden in 1 of ours. i also run, and sponsor a poker run. we have had the fastest boat at. which is a nice thing for eliminator. this year actually out running a bigger mti. i run 2 dealerships koenecke and kendall. thank you for all your replys

so you bought the boat used you are not telling the model nor the year and you dispute what they canopies cost? anyhting else you left out to make us feel sorry for you? A used boat could have been touched by anyone but it was that way when you bought it so call elimanitor and get new ones or the aro marine company and get new ones. either will be a lot cheaper than purchasing a new boat and taking the depreciation in this market.

I have heard that 4 grand is just what they charge for the canopies so as far as cost of new ones i'd say that is ball park......

Its A 2007 28 Daytona. And If I Treated Peopel Like That Id Be Out Of Buisness.

First of all, 13 Eliminators is a lot (allegedly). I have only owned 2 Eliminators. Second, and hear me out....I'm not taking sides, but when you say you "run" these dealers, I'm skeptical. I mean, if you "run" 2 dealerships, you should be able to spell and communicate a little better. The reason I say this is that some types of guys tend to "abuse" their boats a little, and maybe leave them outside, etc. There are ALOT of them around here. Then, they expect Bob to magically come out of pocket and fix everything. I mean, I blew up my $14,000 drive but that's cuz it had 1000 HP behind it, and 150 hours. It's called WEAR AND TEAR. I didn't blame Bmax, I just spent the 4 grand it cost to fix it. If you want to spend NO money on maintenance, then just buy a nice pontoon and deal with going 15 MPH. Also, if YOU ran your dealership like you expect Bob to run Eliminator, you would ALSO be out of business, because I doubt SERIOUSLY if you would replace a customers paint job on his 2003 Taurus if it faded (they all do) or the alternator died at 36,500 miles (out of warranty). And what makes you think that the canopies on the DCB boats are any better? They are ALL made out of the same 1/4 inch Polycarbonate using the SAME technique, and if you clean them right and don't leave them outside, you will be fine. The ONLY thing that wouldn't haze, scratch, or fade would be tempered glass, which would also weigh around 100 lbs each, and be super dangerous. And Besides, what the H@#@ does a GLASS company know about the torque spec for an Eliminator canopy?? Could it be that Cruiser wake you hit going 90 that made it crack? Hmmm??? In short, you come on here bashing Eliminator, but you have owned 13 of them? I have had a couple problems with the sales staff and service myself, but as far as the product goes, Eliminator IS the original and has an above average product. And Shuemann can usually get the shizz fixed if you act professionally, announce that you have owned 13 boats, and prove it. In summary...........
