The Eliminator 22 ft. Daytona 2009 is a catamaran design and the Eliminator 260 Eagle XP 2013 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Eliminator 260 Eagle XP 2013 measures 26,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 4,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Eliminator 22 ft. Daytona 2009 at 22,2 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Eliminator 260 Eagle XP 2013 tips the scales at 4 100 lbs - 600 lbs less than the Eliminator 22 ft. Daytona 2009 at 3 500 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Eliminator 260 Eagle XP 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Eliminator 22 ft. Daytona 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Eliminator 260 Eagle XP 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Eliminator 260 Eagle XP 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 26,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Eliminator 22 ft. Daytona 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
