West coast builders on the east coast
 

I remember seeing a 28 Howard Bullet at TNT in Miami last year and realized how many cool west coast boats you rarely see in the east. The 25 and 28 are some of my favorites. Lots of great builders out west for sure.

I think I was one of the first to bring a Nordic out to the Northeast, or east in general in '02. Nice boat but better suited to lake and river running.

I boated with a guy that had a Nordic on the Potomac river back in the 80s, he was out of Maryland I believe.

I have my Advantage out here in Florida now. Haven't seen another Advantage out here (I know there are some, just haven't seen any). Surprisingly though, at the Hartwell and Lanier poker runs, theres quite a few West Coast boats, lots of Eliminators, Nordics, and a few others.

That's awesome, it will be a unique boat there for sure. Florida is amazing though because you see every kind of boat. Even in Miami you see guys with Small Action outboards, Mirages etc. That's why I love Florida, best boating place in North America.

We brought an Ultra Cat to the east back in 07. Started looking at Eliminator 1st but fell for the Ultra Deck layout.

I sold mine to somebody in VA who boated in that area I think, it had a purple and yellow flag theme

Think I have one of a hand full of eliminator v-bottoms out here,Seen lots of Datona's though!

I've seen an Eliminator, Advantage and Ultra on my lake in PA. All seem like cool lake boats.

There were a few Eliminators and an HTM when we frequented Raystown years ago. Cool rides! Miss that place.
