Wow, congrats on a beautiful boat. There has been a lot of previous discusssion about the application of an Arenson surface drive in a single application. Am very curious to see how your project progresses through the dialing in stage. Those drives can certainly handle big power but would like to see your review at the end for overall use in a single engine boat.

Good luck with your project and keep updating with pics and progress. I have owned to Daytonas previously and love Eliminator boats. :thumbsup

Welcome tithe board. :). I think a single with an arneson is bad ass!! Might he a little expensive to dial on, but worth it if u can get it dialed.

I'm looking forward to watching the boat come together..

There is a guy with 26 Daytona that has a surface drive over on PB. Basically the same boat. I don't think is was an Arneson drive but a Weisman (sp?). Had a big old blower motor. :boobeyes:

It was white with purple flames or strips if I remember correctly.

It changed hands several times among the DLB so I'm not sure who has it.

Try posting over at the DLB section of PB for more information in case you are interested in more info.

There is a guy who stays in Havasu-Crazy horse- that has a Dominator with a big blower motor and arnesen drive, but I think he tops out in mid 80s.

I saw this 27 Speedster when I was at Eliminator earlier this week. Beautiful boat! Sounds like a very interesting project. If you guys want to see it in person too, drop by Eliminator's factory in Mira Loma this weekend when they're having another open-house spring sale event -- free food and beverages plus Eliminator merchandise. Good news that Eliminator is back to building some new boats.

I know one thing. I'm going to be on that boat when we test it. I will, of course, have a video of the test.

I think a nice "sleeper" :D Twin Turbo EFI motor (540 or 565 cu in) from Brummett would be a sweet deal for the motor package !!:thumbsup:thumbsup

I don't know who owns it, but pretty sure it doesn't have the Arneson on it.

Correct no Arneson and maybe BoostPower Quad Rotor in it?!? It was for sale 2-3 years ago if I recall. Saw it pass buy the sandbar Friday. Still looks good.
