And Yes, Larry Smith still builds custom Larry Smith Scarabs in Santa Barbara Ca.
It is sweet and a smart move by Eliminator to get the mold.

Re: NEW Eliminator 430 Eagle
Do some of you think that when a manufacturer builds a new hull, or in this case, buys existing molds, he should put in the type of power package that offers direct comparison to something else out there?
Or should they just put in monster power and see how fast it's capable of handling right off the bat?
I would think what most manufacturers would want is to say. "Look, we just put in the same power package as Brands X,Y and Z and we're faster and handle better." Or, "Our boat is 5 ft. bigger and runs as well as theirs."
My guess is that they'll try the new Mercury 700 SCi with the NXT drives in a staggered configuration. This looks like it's going to be a real popular package for the big deep V's. And comparable.
My .02 cents

The boat would look better with a "not so busy", or "classier" paintjob. That paint would look good on a 23' boat, but not this one.
