30 Daytona

[CaliEliminator]

This one just popped from the mold, it?s the boat that?s going to be shipping to Kuwait on completion. Getting ready for rigging with mild power, a 502 430Hp.

 

[shippingguy]

Nice boat, but why the charcoal grey blob in the red. IMO it kills the lines of the graphics, but to each is own. Nice boat still!

Someone over there must not want to have to wear a chinstrap to keep their turbine from flying off.

It's going to Kuwait......... that lil blob is like their lil blob of a country on the map in the middle east. They're just trying to represent.

Single 502 on a 30? Is that like a 70mph boat?

Ooooohhh....See I knew I could count on you to make sense of it!

I bet its a 62 mph boat when loaded. 70 would be super optomistic

I would wager we both paid less and my shit box would give that "cat" a run for its $$$.

If I had oil $$$ I would have a different boat...lol

It should plane out after about 7 miles.

No doubt. Will not be able to get out of its own way.

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Possibly the owner is concerned about turban unraveling failure so he went with integrated canopies and the single 502.

 

[GRADS2009]

I would be willing to bet that it is going to be twin 8.2's, which is still fairly mild power.

I'm confused! Not sure what this post means! Something directed at me? I am just used to Eliminators gel looking REALLY GOOD! This just really seems sub-par to say the least compared to the work that normally comes out of that shop! Are they using a different gelcoater? It just does not flow like the other boats do. This to me looks like work from somebody else. The fades and blends just are not Eliminatorish.

That comment had nothing to do with the gel. It was about all 3 boats being underpowered. I think he forgot to comment on your quote?

I reread it. I think your right! I tried to be as "negatively nice" or "politically correct" as possible! LOL

Mike..I think the 28 Sleek Craft with a 496 was a poke at Cole Trickles post. CT has a 28 with a 496.

Customer choice always rules.

Single 502?:loser:

It is mild power for the boat, but again it ultimately comes down to producing what the costumer wants.

I agree, but from what I have seen always come out of Eliminator's factory this gelwork does not look anything like the norm. The design itself is nice I just think the execution did not come out the way it normally does Did somebody else spray this boat other than your normal guy?

I kind of agree. It doesn't look like theres any kind of fades to it.

To let someone buy this boat with a single 502 is a shame. Will it even get on plane?:thumbsdown

Thats what I was thinking, it may not even plane. I tried that when I lost a prop, one 525 wouldnt get my F29 on plane.

but you had the weight of the "dead" motor in there. This single 30 wont have the extra 1500#'s.

 

[GRADS2009]

The new 502's only put out 430 h.p., if it does get on plane it will only be a 50 m.p.h. boat?

Hopefully they went with an upgraded drive becase if it is a stock bravo 1 it will be a drive busting machine.

 

[Gelcoater]

OK,I need to break silence on this thread and ask the questions no one has asked.

#1..Cali,have you guys ever built a single inboard engine 30 Daytona before?I cant recall ever seeing one.

#2..I'm wondering how a hull specificly(I assume) designed for twin engines as far as rear weight bias goes is going to handle with half the weight in back?(once again assuming it can get on plane)

 

[newmexico]

Crazy..... About the same time as that Speedster being built with the HUGE Boostpower engine. I bet it doesn't end up with a single 502.

No, the gelcoat was done by us, by our normal gelcoater.

That's what I get for reading to fast. The 30 Daytona in this thread is getting Twin 502's.

1) No we have not.
2) I would have to get the answer for you if you are still interested in this in theory? Let me know.

Again sorry for letting the banter continue for so long it was a misread.

Thats where the Eliminator logo goes.

Naw it's a Kuwaiti flag or Americans are suckers logo...
