    I don't know **** about them either. I'm just going by reviews. They have one at Lowe's I'm planning on getting. It's only $40 bucks.

    One of my friends here had one that had everything from a 2.4 to a 250xs on it through the years. He loved it but sold it for an STV...he says now he wished he hadn't sold it. Not that the STV is bad or he wants to get rid of it, just that this boat rode so well and handled a lot. Nice hull and if I found one around here I would buy it! I'll back the $6000 value on it if the bottom is not chipped and the floor/transom is solid.

    I also got a 1974 Myers tunnel hull made in Oregon. It's a copy cat of the Magnum. I've been hearing these boats are not safe at high speed's. If I'm not going to get the Eliminator. I'm just going to rebuild my old boat. One guy wrote me, don't be excited just do a thorough look at the boat. He is right. I'm excited about this one. Hopefully I'm not wasting a 3 hour drive for nothing. Why hasn't anyone say anything about a jack plate? I have one laying around that I'm planning on putting on the next boat.

    Worth a try for $40 and you can return it if it doesn't work. There are a few youtube videos showing what it sounds like using the tap test. With knowledge of that, the meter, and your powers of observation I'm sure you'll be able to get a good idea of how solid the boat is.

    Also helps to bring a friend for a second opinion and keep you grounded, make it their job to point out every single flaw no matter how minor.

    The lowes meter works fine. I can drag mine across a transom and watch the number climb as it gets closer to the mount bolts. A hollow or delaminated spot will not read well. Remember, some level of moisture is normal. Dont be alarmed over a number until you see 40 and up. Im no expert, just used a meter on 4 or 5 hulls. Good idea to place it on a piece of wood or siding, not vinyl, on your house to see that a number in the the teens or 20's probably ok.

    I have never ridden in a 19, but I can't believe how my 21 does in the slop/chop. It's crazy how well it does for a small boat. If the 19 is anything like it, I can see why people love them.

    The 19 is a handful and nothing like the 21.

    Not sure on Eliminator, but the Liberator 21 seats are really nice and reasonably price for new everything.
