This should be your only stop..Get back into a Daytona!!

Jeezus you sound like my wife. Mrs. Daytona never could get used to being called Mrs. Magnatude. ;)

The Shockwave has not sold yet although there's a guy that said he would buy it but I'm not holding my breath. If it doesn't sell I will trade it in or price it so that it sells very quickly. I will do whatever it takes to be in another cat by this spring. I've come to realize that v-hulls are about as fun as a jet boat.

I've gotten spoiled with the standing up thing, I've ridden in a few cats, they are definitely fun, but I don't think I can sit down anymore, going CC anyway in the spring, good luck with whatever you get.

Once we got the Daytona, Shannon was like.."Why didn't we do this in the first place?"

I wonder if Grads would like to run in 3-4fters out in the Gulf, see how long his back could take the pounding, there's good chiropractors down here too.

Every boat has it's place, but not better than others, I love all boats.

If your 1st stop is eliminator are there anyother stops planned? Hallett (1st class operation) is right off the 605 frewway between the 10 and 210 in Irwindale. Laveycraft and Essex are not far from Eliminator. If you guys are looking for something to do at night there is Fast Lap indoor Go Carting not far from where your staying... Good Luck Shopping

So from what I can tell on this thread you are not really going "boat shopping" but merely "boat buying" if Eliminator is the only brand you will consider! That's cool, I'm glad you know what you want! However, if you truly want to do some "boat shopping" then I would consider a true tunnel boat. I don't know what size you are considering, but there are some seriously bad ass boats out there!

Just my .02 cent worth from a reformed DCB guy!

I've driven a couple true tunnels and I don't like them especially for the lake boating that we do. I noticed at lower speeds some of them want to list to one side or the other and will also pull side to side. I had a twin engine Daytona and I was really happy with it.
