thats a strange lookin one,

[YeLLowBoaT]

whats 1st 3 letters of the HIN... It kind of fuzzy in the pic. it looks like ELI if that is the case it would be a eliminator... just not the one in CA. There was a few companys called eliminator over the years( just diff sufix... IE elminator boats, elminator INC...etc)
if the mic is ELI its these guys
Link off USCG web site. (http://www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic_detail.aspx?id=ELI)

That HIN says "ELB" which is Eliminator Boats in Mira Loma. (ELI was the Wisconsin plant) That is the same hull that IHBA rescue uses the fetch those sorry bastards that get unexpectedly get wet! That hull type is called a "whaler" The rigging and such does not look like Eliminator's work though. Someone probably bought a bare hull and assembled it themselves.

sorry too late.
That looks like a 12jc pump.If You dont do any thing with the hull,pull the pump and intake and either sell it or keep it for another project.That is a decent pump...Hal

[derail]

Thanks holorinhal I bought the boat just for the place diverter but i might just restore it but then again anyone want to buy a 1975 ELIMINATOR

[holorinhal]

where are you located.If You only bought the boat for the diverter,the pump is probobly woth atleast twice as much..Hal

[Jeanyus]

How much for the wiener dog?

[derail]

That is Cholo what a great dog he loves Mexican food and jalapeno peppers and is meaner than a pit bull.his name fits well. but sorry i cant sell my low rider.
Hal If you Look in the background that water is the S.F. bay I live in a marina Abord my 5th wheel in a water front space only 450 a month for a water front home shur beats paying 2+ million for the same view lol

[holorinhal]

Hell yea! I'd live in My travel trailer if I could live right on the water and only pay 450 a month.Hell I'd live in it even if I had to pay more if I could live on the water.I was born with gill's!...Hal

[LakesOnly]

Put a stroker, a shoe & rideplate in that thing and keep it a sleeper...then, go and race unsuspecting jet boaters for $100 each. :D

[vee-driven]

that might be the first bass boat ever made

[derail]

the more i look at this boat the more potential i see in it. I see 4 or 5 bean ibags in the bow would make for a nice cocktail seating arangement ? hull is only 3" deaper than my 1975 18' southwind and looks to be a very solid hull .I am still curious to know how many of these are around and how this hull will be at speed it has full stringers .is this the only boat type eliminator used this bottom for?

[DUCKY]

I am pretty sure that the bottom was used for an closed deck and an open bow version also. There are not very many of the whaler decks. I think with some quality full length stringers and floor, and a few well placed "gunnel supports" (what gunnels? :) ) to tie it all together that it would be a very solid and cool ride that would seat a party if you wanted to.

[78CoLe]

Ill give 500 for the boat and trailer and come get it

[derail]

Cole i might just take you up on that I am still thinking about restoring it myself It would make a nice 20' open bow

[derail]

ok I dont need another project anyone looking for a 1975 elminator open bow speek up or it will be my weekend project striping it then comes the sawzall
