When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Eliminator 220 Eagle XP 2011 and the Eliminator 340 Eagle XP 2009 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Eliminator 340 Eagle XP 2009 measures 33,8 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 10,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Eliminator 220 Eagle XP 2011 at 22,9 feet (2011). At 3 lbs and 76 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Eliminator 340 Eagle XP 2009 at 33,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Eliminator 220 Eagle XP 2011 at 22,9 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
