I am thinking about a new boat (or used) and have been eyeing the Eliminators. I'm no Rookie currently owning Hull #1 of the 28 Skater and a 26' Rinker Fiesta. I'm in Syracuse, NY and Cape Coral, Fla. Can anybody help with seat time?

They are easy to drive no surprises if you have used the 28 skater you have than you will have no problem relating that experience to an eliminator.

I have had 2 30 daytonas and had a blast with both great bang for buck.

Used the Skater is an understatement. I probably spent more time R&Ding when I raced it in '93-95 with props, set back, 4 bladed props and sportmaster testing and 2.5 mods before they were marketed. I just don't drive the Skater like I used to and I'm tiring of the Rinker so I was thinking of combining them into one that I can still trailer 1435 miles easily, go 100mph and satisfy my wifes comfort zone. (well, 2 out of 3 anyway)

I hear ya The words wife boats and satisfied have never been used by me!


Mine is the silver blue and orange in the classifieds.

Fun, I live in Rochester NY and am not far from you Syracuse location. I am currently on my 2nd Elim and would be happy to assist. I started with a 28 Daytona with stock 496HO's and that boat ran in the mid 90's all day long...in ideal conditions I saw 100mph. I traded that in last year for my current rig which is a 36 Daytona Coupe with 625 Ilmors. I've seen 123mph on it - but run in the teens on most days.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have - or if you'd like to take a closer look at mine when the weather breaks you're welcome to (the boat is currently on the west coast waiting for me to splash it in April on Havasu - and will have it back in Rochester by late April. You should also consider contacting McMillan Marine (ask for Mark McMillan, the owner) - he is the Elim dealer in our geo and is AWESOME! He actually just delivered 2 more new 28's in Rochester - so you could kill 2 birds with one stone - his elim store is on the same bay my boat is (Irondequoit Bay).

Let me know how I can assist.

Thanks Junkie. I'll give you a ring when the ice clears.
