I'm looking for an Eliminator boats brochure for the year 1989, what I'm talking about is the booklet they gave to customers with all the boats they made that year. If anyone has one they don't want anymore send me a message.

That old 27 Daytona was pretty cool.
I remember twin V8 two stroke outboards, one or two with nitrous;)

That boat accepted twin inboards too.
I distinctly remember one with twin bbc Chevys with PFM turbo setups.

They did one with three V8's, it was the APBA record holder at one time for top speed in its class.

I want to say late 88, early 89?
Anyone else have an old E poster from back then?

How come Eliminator doesn’t make posters anymore? :(:mad:

Would love to come across one of those posters, bitchin. And it would be considered degrading to women to do such a thing today, that and there would have to be a version with a dude on there as well to keep everyone happy.

There’s another poster with a different girl and black panther.
It was not some photo magic.
There was a F’n Black panther in the showroom for the shoot.

It may have been a couple years old, but Eliminator was still handing out a full line full color brochure in 07 and then came the down turn.

I think it’s pretty funny you dug up something I posted 3 years ago :D

I’m on a business trip right now but when I’m home I’ll ask my buddy Crash if he has the 1989 brochures as well. He’s got all sorts of stuff from when we all got into boating.
That would be awesome if your friend has the brochure. My dad used to have two of them but they have since been lost.

I bought the boat with the original colour scheme and then I painted it blue and still did not like the way turned out so I broke the dashboard out and dropped it the boat will end up being blue with black accents

I had the red/white 27 w/3 300 Johnson V8's. 2 outside were on Nos for a while. I think I still have a set of carbs. Lol

How did it go what mph u get out of it
Best ever was 114 which was fast AF then. Lol. Nitrous just helped it get on plane faster. W/O it the boat would take forever to roll over on plane because of the crazy transom weight. V8's were set back 12" on Gil brackets. I ran a Holley red for ea motor and a fourth for the Nos. It did use lots of fuel and with the exhaust reliefs cut open it sounded like a DC-3 at full throttle. Huge cocpit too with the rear seat pushed back. It was on a couple Elim brocures and fliers. I have them somewhere.

Thats it. I was not the orig buyer, I got it from Mr Piggly Wiggly himself. It has set for quite sometime and needed some love like removing the arch. Lol. It was for sale in the back of HotBoat mag for a while till I got it.

It’s a 1990 Eliminator Daytona 27 with twin outboards . I am now doing some mods on it as I did not love the dash so I dropped it down and going to paint it .

wait a minute, why are we calling this "Triple Play", but its only got 2 strap ons?! I'm feeling we need to get a 3rd one on there to keep true to its name.

It used to have 3 300xs motors on it but to tell you the truth the middle one always ends up blowing up so I’m keeping it with two 300 excesses I might even throw 350 on it

just playing around with my side panels this is done all in PVC plastic and will be done final product in carbon fiber I did not want to go the old school look and just do a panel so I tried to copy what eliminator is doing now in there boats Everything will be re-cut out on a CNC machine

and then put together and sent out for Carbon
