    I have fallen in love with that damn thing. My Eliminator brought all the love of boating back for me.

    Boating content for a Wednesday

    I think some smaller Teague engines were installed. I am not sure if it's for sale. There is nothing like a 40 Skater. When all systems are go, it is king of the jungle. A couple times coming back from Havasu Springs with water big enough that most other boats got off of plane, we bombed...

    Maybe? At the same time we found out my father had Parkinsons. It was a big blur sometimes.

    @RiverDave asked this too. There was a point that the boat had sat for sometime back east. If you notice it has a deck hatch right in the middle of the deck. The hatch was either left open or the foam seal was bad and let rain water in, enough water that you could see the water line on the...

    Look at this. I hated the, "Never Late" paint, and at one point I got together with Froggystyle (Wes) and thought it would be a good idea for Trident to take on the project of repainting this beast. Trident was slow and he wanted to keep his guys busy so they gave it a shot.

    No, I should have, and I will post pics that tell the story. I will dig them up tonight. The complete deck was removed as it was rotten. Complete trailer was rebuilt every nut and bolt. Drives, engines, etc.

    I will try and get some before pics of the motors. These were after I had gone through them. Probably 10-15K just in ruined steel braid and fittings. Now, Sterling says they are 1100hp, then a pulley swap and you are at 1300hp. Those old school roots blowers make way to much heat after...

    I apologize for the pics going further. Ok, this is how I found it. A place by the name of Dick Simon Marine had it for sale. A multi champion throttle man by the name of Scot Conrad owned the place.

    Yes, that's how I rebuilt it and I believe it is still the same.

    Some of you may remember my old screen name, 40FlatDeck. I was going through some of my pics late last night and came across some cool pics of the boat that was my screen name. I tried to find all the history I could on it, some good and unfortunately a lot bad. Here she is when new. A...

    WTB Eliminator Daytona 21’/ 22’

    I don't think you will find a 21 with twins, but 22's pop up from time to time. Good luck.

    Chrysler Jeep service dept problems.

    You are on the right track to get it out of there. The problem is that it is an 2005, and they will not have parts. In the aftermarket world, the same seals fit can fit a 15yr span, in a dealership world the catalog doesn't work that way.

    Stoker Boats!

    Crazy how the 2.5 is still such an iconic motor, and searched for high and low. I agree. Long live the 2.5! The red with twins is insane!!!

    MPG's on your boat

    I wonder if all 21's have 25 gallon tanks? For some reason I thought mine are 23? I have never gone to the pump so I don't know exactly, which leads me to another question. Do you fill your Daytona tanks up the the filler neck rubber hose, or right before? Or, do you even look? =) I have...
