Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 vs Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 and the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 at 28,2 ft versus Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 at 29,0 ft. At 55 lbs and 58 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 28,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 vs Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 or the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010?
The Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 is the longer of the two at 29,0 feet overall. The Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 comes in at 28,2 feet, making it roughly 0,9 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 or the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010?
For trailering, the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 has the edge at 55 lbs dry weight versus 58 lbs for the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010. 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. Fun Deck 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 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. Fun Deck 2011 and Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 share an 102 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. Fun Deck 2011 or the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010?
The Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 has the bigger tank at 12 gallons, versus 1 gallons on the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010. That 11-gallon difference translates to roughly 33–55 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 and Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 and the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 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.
