Thanks for input so far.

Any input on handling of the boats?

Are they all in the same league?

I think Eliminator has a test pool at the factory. I think.

I would go DCB all the way, their craftsmanship is unmatched. Congrats on the new purchase no matter which one you pick.

yes they do, its small, just for starting, idling etc... For runs they take their boats to Lake Elsinore, about 30mins south.

Im sure your gonna get many different opinions on that...I own a 25 Daytona, and I couldnt be happier, even running the speeds we just ran at LOTO this passed weekend at 134MPH and from what Bob Leach tells me, the 27 hull is even better...at the end of the day, I dont think you can make a wrong decision with any of the boats you mentioned....just gonna be a tuff decision...

Goodluck..

Hard to beat an Eliminator. The attention to detail is top notch. I prefer them to DCB with the layout of the controls. DCB builds a great boat as well. If I were buying new Id likely go with the 27 speedster.

I am with QWKRN U above. I have owned 3 different Eliminators and there is a reason I kept going back. I have driven a DCB and could not stand the lower control(s). I agree the fit and finish is superb with both boats, maybe a little better on the DCB's I have seen, but if I cannot be comfortable while driving, then I cannot own that boat!

Sounds like with the list of potential boat mfgs you have, you cannot make a wrong decision!

Hard to beat that 27 speedster, I agree. What a great size boat..

Enjoy the pics, hope this helps in ur decision...

I agree, the Speedster looks wicked. Apart from the unicolor gray bow seats and engine hatch cover that look quite bland, which is easy to correct, this is a great looking boat.

No problem Jeff!

If there's one thing I can say is "Different"!

Our 27' handles the rough with ease, easy to drive and like I had mentioned before, it's yours and built to your vision.
