If you are interested in a boat in that size range- take a look at Howard. Their 220 Bowrider has a great V and their workmanship is top notch. Great people to deal with. The performance of that boat is great also- i've seen them handle some super rough water in havasu and powell- but not sure how any boat of this size would stack up traveling to catalina. The boats you mentioned- the Eliminator and Ultra are really nice boats also. I was very impressed with Ultra's work, reputation and people-GREAT boat, especially for the money. Good luck in your search!

Note: I do not own any of these brands, just really like them and have visited the showrooms/factories frequently!
