Did anybody else see this last weekend? 2 Fundecks with IDENTICAL gels. I personally have never seen Eliminator do this. New trend?

That is an original Eliminator design. You will see a lot of Eliminators with that similar design. I've been told by someone who has the design, that they are different from the next in some way.

Our Eliminator was in the 98 L.A. Boat Show with a new design at the time. I asked how the show went and they told me they sold like 10 boats the 1st weekend and most of them wanted our same colors and design. Now there every where.

I've seen that happen too often with Eliminators. If I shelled out that kind of cash for a custom boat, I'd be absolutely furious if I saw one look almost identical.
By the way, copying gel's isn't "splashing" as far as I know. Splashing is when someone copy's a built boat to make another mold, right?

Maybe they don't want to be original..

Maybe they don't want to be original..
The problem is, maybe the first guy did, and he didn't get a choice. That is a nice looking boat in exactly the colors that I'd hope to get one in one day, but I'd never copy someone else's boat out of respect for the hobby, if nothing else.

They are differant. It looks like they moved the Eliminator sticker back on
boat #1. :rolleyes:

Great point.
Similarly, we saw our boat on the showroom floor and said we'll take one...don't change anything.

There is two daytonas that have a similiar scheme to mine that run around Pleasant but I'll be damned if I can catch up to them to get a better look. Timm does well over 120 and I think Donnie is over 120 as well.

Different cuz they are hand taped! LOL
I guess if you put a riler up next to it, it will not be exactly the same, but hell...it sure looks the same.

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!! The popup cleat is in a different spot and they don't have the same name! HEHE LOL
Good thing they spent top dollar to be unique! LMAO
Ok, ok, enough with the jokes.....I could not draw worth a shiz and I have seen enough bad designs, so I admit I seen my design drawn out, only I had the decency to pick my own colors.

At least DCB uses different shades of orange!! :)

I guess you don't look at many early elimiators. They all had the same gel designs for the most part.

If you look at the starboard stearn area , the blue fading is slightley different. one has more dark blue then the other.

05-10-2006, 07:53 AM
they are WAY different..... the rear cleat is way higher on boat #1 :)
What SUCKS is even if you come up with your own bitchen orig design, you will see it in the chanel on some other manufacture in a few weeks.... hense Bobits Skater, shades of that are poping up everywhere. Now there will be millions of all orange with green swoop design's soon :cool:

Donnie over 120? coorslights per day maybe :220v: That is a very common Eliminator patern and color mix, I've seen 1-2 Daytonas and even 1-2 25 Eagles that look exactly like yours. I think Donnie has seen 108 on a pretty good day. It's common but still a very cool looking patern.

I was more surprised with the fact these where 2 new\newer "custom" boats with the same design and color. I'm sure there are more out there, but how often do you see them next to each other?

The fundeck without the name is a friend of mine. I met up with them in the channel last week with another buddy that just purchased a 25 daytona guess what his graphics on the daytona were identical expect for the fact the colors were reversed. f-nin amazing...Derek

Most newer Eliminators as well. I think there's 4 boats on this board alone that match Nord's boat.
well now ya know. custom boats are built, not bought. ;)
I agree.
Of course I'm keeping my mouth shut about the gel coat thing being that I done copied yours.. LOL
