Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 vs Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 against a catamaran Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012 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 33 ft. Daytona 2012 measures 33,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 3,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 at 29,8 feet (2011). At 7 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 29,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Eliminator 33 ft.

Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 vs Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 or the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012?
The Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012 is the longer of the two at 33,3 feet overall. The Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 comes in at 29,8 feet, making it roughly 3,4 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 or the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012?
For trailering, the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 has the edge at 7 lbs dry weight versus 65 lbs for the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012.

How many people can each boat hold?
The Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012 is certified for 6.

Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 and Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012 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.
How do the fuel tanks compare on the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 and Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012?
Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 16 gallons and 16 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.

Yes — both the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2011 and the Eliminator 33 ft. Daytona 2012 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.
