KC KC, as a tradtionalist, you aren't entitled to give an opinion... When you have the means to have a boat like this one then, and only then, can your opinion be reflextive of that.
What a joke.
From the pics I've seen, that boat just doesn't do it for me either... oh well.

Well, I'm a big fan of Eliminator....I own one! Just there is someting about this new Daytona that doesn't sit right with me. I think I could handle the engine compartment if the windshields where gone and the front looked like there 25' daytona. That would be a lot better looking. I do know that when I see Daytona's on the water, I'm stoked to see them and kinda jealous. When I see the 27 this year...I won't be!

So do you suppose that "Gladiator from Darkness" will ever register on the forums under that name???

No matter what you think of it, if eliminator said "here's the keys, have fun" and gave it to you, you would not run that ? I liked the boat, loved the colors, loved the designs, not big on canopies but from my experience they are functional. Did anyone notice the "clean air" sticker on the side of the skittles boat ? I talked to the designer and told him he did a good job on it, I like eliminators alot, old and new, and they just have a great boat.

I am a big fan of form follows function mentality, and the upswept windscreens appear to buffet a lot of wind over the occupants, not funnelling it into their faces at full speed. Looks aside, if it works better, I am all for it.
The engine hatch was pimp. Blended perfectly. The hatch for the bimini top was in my opinion the nicest feature at the entire show. I liked the billet gas fills in the intake vents, and I really liked the layout of the dash. I loved the lack of corners. Very swoopy.
I hated the seats. The color and style of them were heinous, and the execution was miserable as well. The colors were terrible, although eye-catching. The dash needed some depth that the green was not providing.
Aside from all of that, I thought that the rigging and appointment of the boat has a long way to go to catch up to the design. Tough to have an integrated bimini cover right next to surface-mounted POS speakers.
My opinion of course...

What's reflextive?

What's reflextive? That, my friend, is a question that only the Gladiator of Diction can answer.

KC After reading his letter, I don't think they've been hanging out together much. Perhaps the Guru of Grammar is hanging out with the Pimp of Punctuation and Spelling Steve.

My five year old said it looked like a gumdrop! Why do these builders make their boats look like space ships? They are so aerodynamic you think there going to take off and go the moon. eek!
