I am looking at buying a 1989 21 Eliminator with a 2.5L merc 280 hp EFI. Does anyone know about the handling of these boats. The main question is are they prone to chine walk. I had an Advantage Banshee with similar set up that would chine walk about 85 mph. I don't know if the Eliminator is a more stable hull or about the same as the Advantage.

Eliminator is a tunnel hull, they do not chime walk.

The Advantage Banshee (aka Eliminator Scorpion) were never as good handling boats as the Daytona's. You won't get chine walk on a Daytona.
