The Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 is a modified-V design and the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2011 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 33 ft. Daytona 2011 measures 33,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 5,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 at 28,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2011 tips the scales at 6 500 lbs - 1 000 lbs less than the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 at 5 500 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 28 ft. Fun Deck 2011 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2011 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 33 ft.
