Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 vs Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 — Which Catamaran Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 and the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 are catamaran 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 33 ft. Daytona 2010 measures 33,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 at 28,5 feet (2009). At 65 lbs and 65 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 33 ft. Daytona 2010 at 33,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 at 28,5 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.

Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 vs Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 or the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010?
The Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 is the longer of the two at 33,3 feet overall. The Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 comes in at 28,5 feet, making it roughly 4,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 or the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010?
For trailering, the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 has the edge at 65 lbs dry weight versus 65 lbs for the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 and Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 share an 108 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 or the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010?
The Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 has the bigger tank at 16 gallons, versus 13 gallons on the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009. That 3-gallon difference translates to roughly 9–15 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 and Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Eliminator 28 ft. Daytona 2009 and the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2010 are built by Eliminator. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
