Hadn't heard that? What's the story there?

Went over while OL was testing it.

It was a sold/customer's boat going for a test drive with another potential client when the incident happened.

Faulty trim tab indicator lead to too much tab input or something along those lines. Freak deal, Doc and Brian can attest to the fact that the boat can stay right side up in conditions and speed that few would ever dare run the boat.

Okay, to be exact, below are the facts from Dustin.....

Again, you don't have any real facts and you just keep posting the same thing. Mike was driving, Mr. Makepeace was passenger. Mike knows what happen, and I've mentioned, as others have. Its simple, they made a speed run, mike was playing with the tabs because of the side wind pushing the boat. He tabbed up, and according to the indicator, they were all the way up when he slowed down a little and made a left turn. The boat leaned out instead of neutral or in which it always does with tabs up. It then caught an edge before Mike could correct, and it pitched both Mike and John out. It then skipped and rolled 180deg after. While the boat was in the water, floating perfectly flat, you could see the port tab down, starboard tab up. This boat, the test boat and the 2nd production boat have made this turn many times.

I have nothing against Eliminator boats, hope to own one someday...and I also love the paint jobs that Eliminator does on all of their boats...they've built so many boats over their lifetime...anyways:

The SV29 when OL was building them was all carbon and went through post-curing process in an auto-clave...that boat is tuff

wouldn't mind owning the one that flipped either..just solid solid boats!

if you're thinking of getting one, look for the ones built at OL...the one built at Elim proly has a lower price_point

just my .02c

Such a beautiful boat. Well...all the OLs are.

So Eliminator and Ol both build them? Wasn't the orange boat at the Miami Boat show?

OL is the only one that is building a 29' from now on.

Eliminator was suppose to be making all the 29's going forward (they made one), but it looks like OL will be the ones building them going forward (if they have a desire/need to build one). Yes, the orange boat was at the MBS several years ago.
