Thank GAAAAAAWD a new cat without outboards!! Bravo 😍

Oh, and I love the charcuterie board! Tasty. 😋

Boats beautiful. Nice clean lines. I dig the gull wing doors and I like how they no longer go down over the gunnels. That bustle looks familiar however. Where have I seen that before…. 🤔 😁 😉

Me personally i like the interior, it looks like no suede. I'm not a huge fan of suede, it seems to fade super fast. However I'm to poor and don't own a boat with it in it so pure speculation. Boat looks sweet! Nice job Eliminator.

I’m still curious if it’s a new running surface or if it’s just an all new deck on the 33X lower hull.


New deck / six inches of freeboard added to the back to accommodate the qc4’s. Extended bustle / bottom still the same. The bottom works though so not sure why you’d change it for this market?

Nice looking 31' cat. I'm sure it's going to haul the mail with those power plants. 👍

Well done, Congrats to Jake and the whole crew at Eliminator! Sorry I missed seeing it on the dock.

I like the clean lines, love the gray and blue combo!

Outstanding motor choice too!

Will it be at the Pomona Boat Show next weekend?

She sure is prettiful!😍
Is the "X" in model number the designation for the extra freeboard or bustle change?

Question for the mold guys, is this bustle incorporated into a new deck mold, or is it a separate mold and they are glassed together?

And next question if I am being humored, is the euro style and smaller bustles of say an M35, are they in the original mold?

And last if not overly taxing, how do you gelcoat into that thin ass section of the side, as well as stuff in the fiberglass and board? Or is it 2 pieces?

Apologies, thinking inside out, and upside down really does my head in.

Badass. 😎 So a 33 with a bustle ?
Not sure because the 33X already has a bustle, and this is suppose to be a 35X. I asked but didn't get a response if its 33ft of running surface and then 2ft of bustle. Im assuming the 33X is 31ft of running surface and 2ft of bustle. Both boats look identical also not sure if the beam is the same width if anybody knows?

Paint looks amazing, power package is great as well. By the way I will be buying this boat when it goes up for sale in two years. I will report back when this occurs.

So it is a 33’ but they increased the freeboard six inches in the back and tapered to zero at the bow. This allowed them to fit mercury’s QC4 packages.

It’s a lot more than just adding a tail.

Eliminator has really stepped up the game since Jake took over. They are building some beautiful boats!!
I agree the boat you get now from them compared to even 3 years ago is night and day difference in fit and finish in my opinion. Definitely evolving fast.

I’d say 2019 and up. When Jake took over a lot of very nice options became standard.

Just wondering so does that mean they cant fit the QC4 1100's into a 33X Speedster? I would think they could since they have put them in 27 speedsters already. As well as they put twin Teague 1400's in the McKee 33X Speedster.

That is correct.. on the 27 they added additional height in the hatch. Teagues aren’t dohc and I don’t believe require the height of a qc4
