Yes it looks like a 27 speedster with single.
In the day when Eliminator was slamming out boats and DCB was taking there time I would say DCB for sure if you had the money.
That being said Eliminator is a different company now and the boats they are building are at the level of any DCB or better.
Honestly I would take the time and visit both factories. Once you see the boats and meet the team it will be a much easier decision.

Yea that 27 Speedster is a very nice boat, and I just figured Id post the pics cause it seems its exactly what he wants, DCB Is a badd ass boat also, but I didnt think they made a 27...Also yes the Speedster has a single engine...looks like a Teague 800 possibly...

Thanks for the pics. The boat looks great but I am however not too keen on the look of the Open Bow which looks like it has been "sawed in" with very sharp edges.
This is another issue I need your input on. The Thor as pictured here has a walk thru Bow and the seats as can be seen are very curvy and elegant as opposed to Eliminator which looks like you are sitting in a hole.
Considering that the boat will be mostly crusing at low speed with passengers and for the odd race with 2 passengers, I am not too worried about the walk thru feature of the Thor.
How is the walk under open bow? Can passengers of all ages easily move between the front and back? Any drawbacks?
