27 or 28???
 

Hey guys awesome site you have here.

Looking to get into a Eliminator within the next year. My friend has a crazy 27 that he is getting 110+ ever since a ride in it I’ve wanted a cat.

Here is my question, what would be the better package for reliability, fuel consumption, and great top speed. I know those 3 things don’t work that well together but I’ve found that cats are pretty good at making at least 2 of those work out.

So is it better to go with a 27 single high HP or a 28 w/ lower HP twins?

Will a high HP single go thru more 90+ oct. gas, then twin 525s?

Hope this post even makes sence:party-smiley-004:

Thanks

Depends upon the waters you run in - in my opinion. If you run in protected waters that don't have the lake snot that the Great Lakes have, I'd go w/the 27 - your Total Cost of Ownership will be lower (not having to fuel 2 motors, maintain 2 motors, maintain 2 drives, maintain 2 props, etc..).

But if you run in rougher water, you'd probably appreciate the heavier 28 over the 27.

I loved my 28 - never had the oppty to experience the ride of a 27....just offering my opinion.

Love my 27.Only boat offshore.

Here's the current list of In-Stock boats.... CLICK ME...

Bob's dropped pricing on all current in-stocks another 10%...some nice 27's available....$110k for this one with a 496HO...:cool:

I happen to have a ICC 26 with the 525 [email protected]:rolleyes:

Wow, very cool pic.:drink:

There are a lot of people who'd never believe you run a 27 Elim "offshore only"

Elim 27 offshore
 

Some days are'nt to bad,some just plain ugly.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Shueman: What is that 28' Speedster and the Bud boat worth? I read somewhere you can run a single with that boat or is it too much stress on the leg?

That red/white 36 speedster is so sexy!!!! WOW!!!!

With a single, what do I need to run 100-105mph?

Thanks again for the quick replys guys. I really dont know much about this offshore thing, Im coming for a River boat and want something that I can run out in the salt and bigger lakes around here...So, thanks again for the help...

I have a lot of seat time in both.

Hands down....28 !

if your talking about single engines. I would go with the 27. The only way I would have the 28 is with twins.
