Eliminator did a new 25 Daytona recently with flames. I kinda liked it.

If you are looking at that exact boat, it has been for sale for years out of Georgia.

Well I would be an idiot if I didn't say I like them. LOL View attachment 624325 Since I now own a flame boat!
Honestly I never loved flames, but I wanted a Sabre so bad. The price was right so I got it. I have to say, I like them more and more. The blue outlines that are hard to see in the picture are awsome, and the color fade is done very nice. to each his own, I guess.

Thanks! We loved that boat. Not too expensive, would run 60mph all day long with the 6.2mpi, had a big good stereo, lots of room. I regretted getting rid of it when we did.

When did you get rid of it? I saw it for sale and talked to someone about it before buying my Cobra.

I sold it to a nice couple in Utah about 2006-07. I believe they were still the owners until recently when it sold again. I saw it for sale not too long ago in Utah but all the ads are now gone.

Yea I talked to them around 4 years ago. It was in Utah.

Cobra made one in the same colors as yours with the flame scheme on the blue one above.

Flames are ok done right. I still like checkers on a boat. If I built new , I would have a small place where checkers were added.

I like flames on hot rods better [emoji202]

IMO flames were never cool and the same goes for checkered flag patterns. But to each their own, if you like them go for it.

Beggars cant be choosers.. Tribal flames for me. I don't hate them, but they would not be my choice if building new.

My buddy just got the checkers removed from his boat. There is a small area of checkers right in front of the open bow he left as checkers.

Everyone has there opinions. I think this gives me an idea for my next boat. But pink and purple. I really don't give a $hit who likes it.

I most likely wouldn't own anything with them but I respect the craftsmanship that goes into a well done flame scheme.

My Daytona came that way, if I would have bought it new probably would have been different, but I think they are ok.

Im flying out there to look at it next week. Finally worked out a deal with it shipped to havasu.

Good luck. if it works out you might save a couple grand over buying one here.
