+1. I've heard the same thing. My buddy didn't even buy his brand new and he has bent over backwards to answer any and all questions. You can't put a price on someone answering the phone and willing/wanting to help.

I Have ridden in Tom Earhart's 28' Eliminator,.........Very Smooth! and it is for sale now too.
You can send him a PM if it interest you,...Extremely clean!

I have had 5 eliminators-21 sport v,21 edge tunnel open bow,22 Daytona,34 eagle v,and a 27 fun deck.I highly recommend then -the quality is exceptional and they are eager for your business.You won't be disappointed.

I purchased a 30 daytona this year after owning several V bottems and really like the boat. Amazed at how it handles at high speeds Boat will also cruise at 30 if you like as well. I have the large Dana Tunnel tab and think that this is a must on these boats. Keeps it very safe when running high speeds.

Looking at a 30 or 33 Daytona. I do poker runs on smaller and larger lakes and maybe hit the ICW and Charleston harbor. What kind of rough will these handle. I know they won't handle it like my 38 Fountian but where I boat I don,t know if I need it. I am a day boater and trailer my boat to the lake. Seems like I can get more speed for the money with the Eliminator. I have priced what it would take to make my 38' faster and quite frankly would rather buy something already faster. I would like to see 100. Also what do you think about the open bow models. My first boat was a 30' Hallett and on the east coast they are rare. I really liked that about that boat.

Well I was until I got some insurance quotes!!!!!

There are a few guys on here that have had good insurance quotes. I cant help as I am in Canada but I pay $1300/yr

First time on here, but thought i would hand out the info i have from our daytona .I bought a 1999 daytona 25 last year ( known owner for years and he finally sold) 502mpi with procharger 5 pounds boost runs just shy of 100 great boat, blast to drive. insurance was through allstate, have house and trucks also through them. around $580 for the year.
