long story short. I have a new 540 naturally aspirated motor. Do I put it in my 2006 Eliminator Daytona. Daytona has a 496 with dual ram hydraulic steering and stainless headers Imco shorty. About 200 hours runs great. Or do I put it in my 1998 Eliminator Eagle 236. The Eagle has a Marine power 496 that also has low hours and runs great. The 540 is paid for and awaiting a decision. Love both boats. I keep one in Havasu and the other for my home town lake and the Ca delta. That way I don’t have to tow the 650 miles each way.

No expert here, but seems like the Daytona might be a good choice.

I think the Daytona would probably get the most benefit equipped. But I’m no expert either.

Cat guy here so of coarse the Daytona. You'll love the way the Daytona responds! Just a nobody so take it with a grain of sea salt. ;)

Man, I wish I would have been quicker to the draw on the Eagle. My wife is still kicking me in the nuts about it. 😂
