33 Daytona
 

a friend of mine is getting ready to purchase a 33 Daytona listed here in the classifieds link to ad

anybody know the history on the boat? he has a pair of 900's and #6's he wants to put on it. since i am not really familiar with that hull i thought i would try and get some owners input from you guys to help my friend. will this be a good package to install in this boat, can it handle the weight and balance? he is a competant performance rigger/boater and has plenty of seat time above 100. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks all :cool:

actually my thoughts for power are in the 600/700hp range and some type of bravo drive ( Imco extreme, B Max. . .???) but he does have the big power and 6's on hand already.

Re: 33 Daytona
 

Some the 33s before 2001 have a porpoise problem. I know of a 2001 that has 6's and big blower motors that runs 140+. It is very solid.

Don't know about the boat for sale.

Re: 33 Daytona
 

I know of a gentleman with a 1997 (I believe). Porpoise trouble. He spent in excess of 10 grand to straighten the issues. Operates perfect now.

That boat was in powerboat a while back I believe. I think it had Pfaff blower motors. Ran 130+mph.

i have heard about porpoise issues on early hulls, this boat has a tunnel tab to help correct the problem. apparently this boat is the first 33 that Eliminator built. how does the boat handle the weight of the 6's and trannys

Re: 33 Daytona
 

I believe I saw an add on this boat where the motors were still in the boat. I think it had #6's and big blower motors. Looks like he will be putting back in what was taken out. This has been for sale for a while. I'd have him call eliminator as they have been more than happy to talk to me about things such as this.

I cannot PM..... My phone is 714 777 6546

Thanks much!

I spoke to him... He lives on the West Coast and sold the boat about 8 months ago... The gentleman that fixed it is several years out of business.

Best of luck...

Neil

well here it is spring we pulled the drives and are putin 136 gears in we put 1 1/2 spacers in last fall and that helped the trim a little but still ran out of prop. so about 3 weeks we will have some good numbers ....................................talking to eliminator got me nowhere nobody could remember the set up .............................1997 power boat cover boat fastest tested boat at that time and nobody noes the number ???????????????
