If we were to buy a 26 NSX this summer that boat would have been at the top of the list. Keep us posted on your experience with the AO. Congratulations and be careful, that's alot boat.

Never seen that one before. I really like that! Let me know when you get tired of it.

That ***** is GOOD LOOKIN! I'd, well nevermind....

Best looking one I've seen and yellow is my favorite color.

I don't think the 26 ao compares to the daytona 26 side by side. I have ridden in both and had them parked side by side at loto and grand and the eliminator is MUCH nicer than the ao. The price on the ao is what makes it such a sweet deal. For what your getting it is a GREAT deal.

gsmith9898- What are you basing your opinion on? Do you own either or are you just comenting what you seen when they where parked beside oneanother?

I have two friends that have 2600 ao and this past winter I decided to get a cat. I was on a budget and was looking at 26 foot boat. The ao was my first choice than I scheduled a test drive in a 26 daytona and I took a friend ( that owns a 26 ao) with me to see what he thought. It was no comparisson in our opinion. A little more money, but I tought it was worth it. I bought the the 26 daytona that day. I could not stop grinning!

it is like comparing a 95 corvette to a 2005 corvette. Both are very nice, but one is a little nicer than the other. It all comes down to money and what you like.

My experience was just the opposite. My buddies have Eliminators.......and an Eliminator was the first cat I ever rode in so the bar was set high, I will admit that. However, the NSX that I bought........now that I think about is like your post about the 95 Corvette compared to the 05 Vette. Except in this case the NSX is the 05. The more I think of it....mine is hard to compare to since it 1000 lbs. lighter with the Kevlar layup.....high back bucket seats......graphics.....power plant.....drive......basically nothing on my AO is stock.....it was built to win LOTO and that it did in 03 in the 26 class. Thanks for your opinions though. Oh......I did originaly order a 2006 Eliminator 26.....it was 82K without power and another 28K for a powerplant from GT performance. (Teague's 588) .......Im glad I found the AO I purchased.

sounds like you found a good one. I was talking about a stock out of the box. If money was no object I would be buying a mti or nortech. I was on a budget and wanting a new boat with a 525 efi and a warranty. I could not afford the kevlar and too many extras. The icc was important.
