awe,, come on. Don't be coy, tell the man how much for your pink taco. haha
I like how they emulated the spectra 19 deck on those hulls. Such a simple, clean, classic line/look.
btw... congrats on the new one, looks nice and diggin the models pose as well, nice touch.

She hates pictures lol.

I’d sell the Taco, in need of interior, for $6k if my sister decides she doesn’t want to drive all the way from Dallas to get it.

I need another boat like a whole in the head. I was tossing a meatball over the plate so he could put it in the lounge.

It needs a full new interior in my opinion and a section of floor in the back replaced. I can get some pics of it if you want.

That's a different one then I have ever seen. Pretty cool looking actually.

Did eliminator go back to a flat bottom or did they leave it as a v? I had a Malibu back in the day and it went to a flat bottom, it was great for slalom skiing but brutal to use at any time other than day break. I sold it and went with a Sanger and their claim to fame at the time was the v hull all the way back, rode night and day better.

Seen quite a few of these. Called a Ski Eliminator I think. The other is a 207 Comp Ski.

I'm going back to the lake Thursday I think. Polish her up a bit and pics.
Nice engine, Mark 4 factory short block with L29 Vortec heads, Ferrea stainless valves, nice solid lifter cam, roller tip lifters, edelbrock performer intake and 730 cfm vacuum secondary holly. needs premium right around 10/1 cr, Runs nice. About one MPH per 100 RPM for the most part so I have seen about 55 MPH but didn't push it any further.

I probably have to have so many posts to PM right? Anyway if I remember correct it was Colorado or Utah boat, original owners son actually inquired about buying it back a few years ago.
Anyway.. [email protected]

 

[Pedro Brantuas]

If anyone is interested, I have a 1988 Eliminator tournament ski boat I'm getting ready to sell.
nice interior and a good running Indmar engine that still looks new. It comes with a Airtime wakeboard pole, and a barefoot boom.
Boat is in Parker and will be down in San Diego in one week.

Hate to dig up an old thread, but really trying to find a direct drive sport boat under 22’.

is eliminator the only one who did it ?

There’s tons of them? Pretty much every manufacturer made them? Ski Nautique / master craft / correct craft / Malibu etc..

I see them all the time in classifieds. I have been looking around for a v drive that is priced reasonably and still searching.

looking for more performance/sport boat not ski boat style. The eliminator looks the same as like an ultra or a advantage. Don’t want the “ski boat” look, but it has to be direct drive per my neighborhood regulations...

 

[DEEZNUTS]

207 skis dont pop up often. There is one listed on CL right now but it's an I/O. Cool boats, especially when you find the direct drives.

hahaha direct drive performance / sport boat, there is only one name in the game there. Cracker box.

cracker box ???

Pretty sure Century made a CTS that was sporty, and Chris Craft made the XK-19. I joined this group to get more info, but I can see there’s alway “that guy” ... appreciate the input !

centurion maybe? I can’t think of any off the top of my head that are sport boat / direct drive. Elim is your best bet. There is one in the classifieds for 18 obo

Old thread but just discovered the sleeker Eliminator with the vee hull (207, etc). Would be interested in seeing some more pics, especially of the wake at speed. If anyone knows of one for sale, please drop me a line!

Here’s a video of the Taco pulling my dad on his 70th birthday.

 

[TRBenj]

Thanks! Looks about how I would have guessed. What’s the hull look like from the rear? Is it a straight vee hull or does it have a delta pad? Curious how wide the strakes are, and how deep the vee is…

Looks like I will be picking this up today. 87 Eliminator Comp Ski 454 direct drive. The deal on the Eliminator V-drive day cruiser I was set to pick up went sideways.
