I like the Eliminator 30 eagle without canopies, but I don't see many of them.

Th Eagle is a nice boat, and a great hull designed from Ron Ehde (at least it used to be)

but when I looked at them in the shop at least a couple of years ago- there were 2 things I didnt like.

The "30" ft measuremt includes the swim step. so it wasnt really a 30 footer-

It wasnt vacumm bagged and there was a significant amount of wood in it.

Eliminator popped the halfs out and sat them on the ground then re-aligned them out of the mold- theory being they needed to get the mold in use again right away- and the wobbly goblin alignment resulted in cracking at the alignment point. Which was covere dup by the rail.



Maybe its changed now but that wa smy observation.

I ran that Howard 122 last year and 130 this year with quite a bit of power going through it. Its a VERY stable boat, but it really is in my opinion a lake boat that can occasionally be taken in the ocean. Power for Power, there are other vees that do go faster with the same power, (under 900hp)until you get to a certain point, then the power becomes unmanageable in most vees.

Speed isnt everything, If I had to choose a boat for strictly the ocean 28-30' long, on the West Coast I would choose a 29 Lavey and on the East I would choose a 30' Activator. I have a customer in Germany that dropped on of my 848's in his 2006 30' Activator and he is running over 107 mph everywhere he goes and that boat will handle any water he has found in the ocean. Lots of choices and lots of opinions, good luck

A pretty good quality boat is a true statement.

But complete customization is one of the reasons to go West coast as is a personal relationship with the people that build it.

As far as I know (tell me if I have it wrong) you don't have Baja build "yours"- you pick one and go from there.

Its a factory thing vs a custom shop thing. (although it is a good factory from what Ive seen)

YEESH! what a nightmare! How many counts did you win on?

I cant imagine dealing with all that after plunking down my hard earned money.

Not a fan to begin with but I cant believe anyone would pull that much BS.

It was only a 2 day bench trial so we had to pick our strongest complaints and go with it, we won on poor workmanship and we won on loss of use but no damages on that count because my attorney didn't furnish damages on that, we also had his countersuit thrown out. No real substantial damages were collected but that wasn't ever the point anyhow......
