Default 36 daytona

Im looking into buying a 36 daytona and was wondering how these boats are in big water i.e. pacific ocean?Ive always owned big V and now want to go to a cat!I see alot of eliminators on the lakes(havasu,mead,mojave)but not in the ocean!Would this boat be a good choice?I know if anybody knew it would be you guys over here in the eliminator section! Thanks alot for the help and reading my post!

we have had a 33 and a 36 in big water off the coast of wa state and they did great. It all depends on how fast you want to go offshore. I wouldn't recommend any smaller in the ocean. How big were the v's you were running?

I had a 35 formula and a 38 scarab so a cat is going to be a completely differant animal!

IMO eliminators are more for lakes and bays. they are sleek looking and FAST but in the real offshore grounds i don't think that's there waters. For that go with an MTI or Skater. This is just my002.

YEA A MTI OR A SKATER WOULD BE GREAT, ELIMINATOR HAS DOMINATED SEVERAL PACIFIC OFFSHORE EVENTS AND A WORLD CHAMPIONCHIP TO SAY THE LEAST, IM NOT SAYING THAT THEY ARNT A (REAL OFFSHORE BOAT) BUT THEY HAVE PROVEN THEY CAN RUN IN BIG WATER. JUST MY 2 CENTS
