The Eliminator 220 Eagle XP 2012 is a modified-V design and the Eliminator 36 ft. Daytona Speedster 2009 is a catamaran 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 36 ft. Daytona Speedster 2009 measures 35,8 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 12,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Eliminator 220 Eagle XP 2012 at 22,9 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Eliminator 36 ft. Daytona Speedster 2009 tips the scales at 7 800 lbs - 4 800 lbs less than the Eliminator 220 Eagle XP 2012 at 3 000 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 220 Eagle XP 2012 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Eliminator 36 ft. Daytona Speedster 2009 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Eliminator 220 Eagle XP 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Eliminator 220 Eagle XP 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 22,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Eliminator 36 ft. Daytona Speedster 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
