I too have looked at comparing the Eliminator and the DCB. Both boats, in my opinion, run great with minimal differences in handling. I would say that neither boat really has an "edge" on the other. The thing is that I would go with a DCB in a heartbeat over an Eliminator. I am not bashing Eliminator what so ever, but I would rather pay an additional (if it was additional) $20k for the DCB over the Eliminator.
Coming from within the industry, I can look at a DCB and there really is nothing that I would do differently. That is hard to do. Normally I can pick apart a boat in a heartbeat, but everything on the DCB's is right on. For example, if you look at any DCB their engine compartment is completely polished. It is not on the Eliminator. I believe that Eliminator is still using the splatter painting method. I can tell you that most manufacturers offer that as an option and it is standard on the DCB. Trust me, it is a very expensive option too because it is very labor intensive. Stock versus option.
I agree with Charley, if you equip both boats side by side, the DCB will definitely be the best value for the dollar. Every person is their own judge on what the best value is. I am with Wes, if I were building a boat, there would be a very short list and DCB would be on it.
