Matching a deep vee Eliminator 230 Eagle XP 2011 against a modified vee Eliminator 340 Eagle XP 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely 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 340 Eagle XP 2013 measures 33,9 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 10,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Eliminator 230 Eagle XP 2011 at 23,0 feet (2011). At 34 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 2013 at 33,9 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Eliminator 230 Eagle XP 2011 at 23,0 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.
