    What other boats did Eliminator use this hull ? I still have my 421 hp 3.3 EFI OMC that Al Stoker built for me. This could be a family friendly rocket ship !

    Thinking is may be called a 207 tunnel ? Any info on performance and handling ? Nada shows a model 207 and an SS tunnel ? Not sure the difference. Thinking of driving 5 hours each way to buy.

    I don't think Stoker ever had an open bow. That looks like a nice set up.

    Not a Stoker. Lance the ctr pod is wide and flat so planes good but that also makes for a rougher ride. I have been in a stern drive and did not seem to have any bad habits as I remember but was not overly fast.

    Isn’t that an Eliminator Edge? I remember them being a few different lengths as well.

    Yep, looks to be an Eliminator 207 Edge.
    Al, Thanks for the info, I bet it would skoot pretty good with the last hot motor you built me years ago. I was seeing north of 115 mph on the stv and still pulling hard.

    Not sure how high you can run the engine on them and with your short mid could be an issue.

    That hull sucks with an IO big block. Buddy bought one and said it drove awful and so we took it out and i drove it. Chine walked like a bitch and had a mind of its own. Outboard should be much better.

    Did it have external steering and how fast? One I was in did not chine walk but would only run 70 and had external steering. Same power our old 22 was faster and has better ride.

    I did not get this boat. Seller went quiet, then sold to someone else.
    I would still like to buy one. Let me know if anyone finds one for sale near the west coast.
