WELCOME TO RIVER DAVES PLACE

Seems like a good deal on a clean Eliminator

Motor, drive, and trailer serviced was a $5,000 expense?!?! Damn! If it was just a standard service, don't go back to that mechanic! Lol!

It came w another boat though [emoji12]

I always get excited about threads like this since I'm in the market and then PURPLE. Was purple a hit color in the late 90's early 00's for performance boats? Dates them IMO. Good deal for the right buyer.

Idk about you guys but I still think the 90's eliminator designs are still pretty cool. This is what I think of when I think eliminator. The jagged look is still probably my favorite. Some people don't like it, think it's old, maybe I'm feeling a bit nostalgic, but I still think it's badass

I agree, the 90's eliminator's look the best.

I agree also. The one I looked at, at MOM had purple in it as well and it set it off. I may be partial as mine is purple too :boobeyes::boobeyes:

This boat is bitchin man 

Thank you! Best investment to date. Funny, when I was throwing it back in storage a few weeks ago, there was a 250 Eagle being parked a few units down with the EXACT same gel scheme.

Eliminator doesn't mind copying there own boats. Mine was in the LA Boat Show and sold a few with the same exact colors and design.

When your building 250-300 boats a year, one tends to duplicate, at times ... owner's choice always :thumbsup

I always look at boats and go damn I want that! Now if a duplicate pops up and that's what I want I'm all on it. It's kinda cool to see your copy too. You automatically notice and wave, or think he's a douchebag, either way...But it's always cool to have your one and only design too

Ultra built this boat for Jesse James. The hot rod/ motor cycle builder.

Yeah, trailering it was quite an experience. People either loved or hated it. I remember having RT99 and his daughter over and having her comment about the "F" word on it. :thumbsdown:eek

I know the history, but don't care. Jesse James, phsss. He wore out his welcome quickly once he hit the media stage. Having the dough to talk a custom boat builder in to gel coating a skeleton with a middle finger in the air and FUCK on the deck doesn't make some one cool. The boat is cool, the gel scheme overall is nice, the Jesse James part sucks ass.

Actually, after talking to John West, if Jesse would of had his way it would of been a lot worse than that. John told him NO on a lot of things. :yikes:yikes

No, but I watched enough of his cable TV show to know the dude is an ass hat. He is talented at bending and fabbing metal, but I know a lot of guys that can do the same shit. He just lived off being in the right place at the right time in the right area. They also don't fuck up their lives by doing drugs, screwing over the wealthy chicks that flock to them etc. Dude is a dip shit but has tons of talent bending metal. 99% of the guys that have this same talent keep their head down and make a solid career out of building shit. Jesse James is now on par with the Kardashians, even though he has one talent and they don't, other than fucking black guys and or sex changes.

That's my perception of the guy. What is yours?

I never liked the guy. The boat build wasn't on his show. It was on Ultras with John West. I have seen the boat at Desert Storm and the gel and details is awesome to see. :thumbsup The trailer came out just as nice.

True, but the bike Jesse built for JW was on Jesse's show
