Buy a new boat, but not sure what brand.

[iparky]

I think the wifey and I have decided on either a Eliminator deck or the Magic. I like the lines on the Magic more but I have always had a passion towards the Eliminator brand. Pros and con to help decide would help.
thanks

The Eliminator deck is the Conquest mold. No difference there. Conquest, Eliminator, and Magic are all great and you cant go wrong with any of them. But, you will pay more for a boat that says "eliminator" on the side.

[Kilrtoy]

I would buy a conquest if I was buying a deck boat...
Then elim and Magic final....

[Essex29]

Do yourself a favor and check out the Domn8ter deck...I saw it today at the Pomona show and it looks awesome! The owner Dory was there and he seems like a no bs kind of guy...I think it was 79k with a 496.

I was told by another salesman, not Keith, that works at a place that sells Conquest here in CA that the Conquest mold is the Eliminator mold also.
They split ways in the past and from what he said, Eliminator pays Conquest $1000 every time they splash one. Don't know if that is true or not. Point is, he said there is a grand built into that boat that you wouldn't pay at Conquest.

Take them all on a test ride before buying. I was looking into the conquest a few years ago and went for a test ride in it. Boat had the biggest motor package offered at the time and I was not impressed. My problem was not with top speed or acceleration. It took WAAAAAY to long to plane off. Make sure you test drive them all

If it costs Eliminator $1000 for the rights to splash. Then it's at least $2000
out of the customers pocket.

That very well may be.

From what I have been told, the Eliminator deck is Conquest's old mold. I believe Conquest sold it to them. If I had my choice of deck boats it would be a Conquest. Keith Sayer at Conquest is one of the nicest guy's in the industry and Conquest makes one sweet deck boat.

Man Thor you gonna do me like that :sqeyes:

I have an Uncle that has the Eliminator deck and With the H.O. That thing takes forever to plane and he loses the horizon by about three feet.

[THOR]

Man Thor you gonna do me like that :sqeyes:
No, no. Not like that at all. Eliminator makes a good product and they are very proud. But, they are expensive. Remember E4L, I used to own an Eliminator, but they wouldnt help me out at all when shopping for number 2 so I had to go elsewhere.

[Debbolas]

I don't think you should use the term "wifey" when posting on Hot Boats..........lol :D

WOW I had that same problem........not with Elim.....

Long story short. Me and the wife planned on doing the deck boat thing and after alot of thought, questions and looking decided the Magic was the way to go. Just my .02 that prob isn't even worth that much. Not bagging on any other builders, just what I thought. ;)

Elim makes a great boat, but the attitudes with the sales staff was well below par and the speed and product for the money isnt there.

[LUVNLIFE]

If you don't think my comments are even worth .02,,,,then don't read them :hammerhea :yuk: ;)

[02HoWaRd26]

Look in the classifieds here on HB there is an american offshore deck out now it is a splash from the conquest but the splash blew the price away they are starting at like 72k his name is Cliff Waters.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
I wonder if DCB is gonna jump in the deckboat craze?

[Nord]

I have an Eliminator and I'm very happy! The story holds true as far as price is concerned "Eliminator is for the rich and famous" I think they are all great boats, just rigged differently! Anyone who can't get out on plane didn't go big enough on the motor or something. Look, if your gonna buy a boat brand new, get what you want and don't skimp!!! I like the lines on the conquest myself!!
But i'm a Eliminator fan.!!!! Kinda like a old man and his vet!

I was making a joke and I actually do enjoy your comments , Except on the raiders

[laveydayz]

Have you looked at Lavey's new deckboat?? Flawless mold and gel work.

[Big Warlock]

Great customer service, family orientated, excellent boat. You'll get more for your money.
Not my .02 cents worth. It's what I know. And yea, I own a Warlock!!
