Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 vs Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats

Both the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 and the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 2013 at 28,2 ft versus Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 at 29,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 tips the scales at 5 800 lbs - 300 lbs less than the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 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 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 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 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 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 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Which is the larger boat - the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 or the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013?
The Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 is the longer of the two at 29,0 feet overall. The Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 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 2013 or the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013?
For trailering, the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 has the edge at 5 500 lbs dry weight versus 5 800 lbs for the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows.

How many people can each boat hold?
The Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 is certified for 6.

Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 and Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 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 2013 or the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013?
The Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 has the bigger tank at 120 gallons, versus 100 gallons on the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013. That 20-gallon difference translates to roughly 60–100 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 and Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Eliminator 28 ft. Fun Deck 2013 and the Eliminator 300 Eagle XP 2013 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.
