I didn't have any luck with my search here on this model boat and was curious as to what you Eliminator owners could tell me about this hull.
The seller says it was a rare boat set up for trips but he's only ran a pair of OB's which have been removed.
He retained the dash panel with the original trip gauges during this time frame.
Here's some pic's of the unit, she looks pretty doggone good for her age. Hopefully maybe one of you memebers will know the the boat and it's owner.
He sounded like a great guy on the phone amd was very sharp with knowledge.
Sorry I couldn't figure out how to resize, they were either very small or very big.






I'm in the beginning stages of looking for a midsized cat. But, like everything in my life I must pay cash for my purchase 'cause I'm to old to finance now.
Depending on how well I shop for OB's this could be a boat I can put on the water for a very reasonable outlay.
I'm not even going to bother searching NADA or KBB, I'd rather appeal to y'alls input as to what you feel fair market value would be for this hull (1990) minus power.
I'm going to go look at her this weekend, I do like rare boats that have history and am hoping maybe this one does too.
AS ALWAYS, you guys and girls here at OSO are the most awesome source of powerboating knowledge on this planet!!!
See ya,
Kelly

What the heck happened to my pic's I posted late last night???
Let me try again with the smaller ones.
Airpacker, thanks for the insight. I'm going to give him a call.




Thanks again for any insight y'all may have on her history or her fair market value minus power.

I have a 23 with twins and I traded a boat I was asking $15,000 for. If it's just hull and trailer with most of the rigging me personally would not want to pay much mor then 7 maybe 8. It looks like a nice boat but your still looking to spend any where from 14k to 17k for a pair of 2.5 260s now you have 21k plus in a 22 year old boat. But it is all in what you like.
I'm in the process of having to putting a new transom and new power on mine. And really tring to decide if I like the boat enough since nada says my hull is only worth 4500 and transom and a little interior is already more then the hulls worth.
If this is going to be your last boat and you want to keep it for a while then go for it. Like I said it what you like and what you are able to spend. And the ride of the 23 is great and with my wore out Johnson 200's it still pushed the boat to 80 mph. A pair of 260's I would think you will be in the 100's with out to much problem.
