Shame to hear about the Arriva's .. I have been keeping my eyes open for one of the older 2450's that came in the red/white paint scheme to use as a rebuild platform - sounds like that may be a mistake from all of the bad press in this post..
Had a 2000 VIP Vindicator that was actually pretty bad ass.. Not sure where the comment of the "fishing boat seats" came from - maybe an earlier model? |

Now I know when it's about to do it and I straighten the boat and raise the drive a little. These boats have a lot of quirks like that. When you master them they are a blast to drive. They are very sensitive to trim and tabs and I'm constantly making small adjustments to both. I love driving my little Donzi and I think the little u boats were very similar.
I raced the chine turner first and loved it. I raced the flat turner after that and wasn't smart enough to consider the different driving style. When I attempted to roll it on its side at the first pin of the first turn, it instantly spun. Point being, I never thought to blame the boat ;) |

The small blocks were OK but the 460's grenaded the drives.Had one customer w/a 23 and I lost track at 3 drives. Sucked too cuz the dealer had ZERO experience dealing w/Hi Perf and always blamed the customer even though i knew better. |

Early Eliminator 33 Daytona. High quality build true to Eliminators heritage but horrible bottom design and respective performance. Porpoise was horrible and in some cases uncontrollable and turning manners were downright scary.
