The Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2012 is a modified-V design and the Eliminator 36 ft. Daytona 2010 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 36 ft. Daytona 2010 measures 35,8 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2012 at 29,8 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Eliminator 36 ft. Daytona 2010 tips the scales at 7 600 lbs - 600 lbs less than the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2012 at 7 000 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 30 ft. Fun Deck 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Eliminator 36 ft. Daytona 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 30 ft. Fun Deck 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Eliminator 30 ft. Fun Deck 2012 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 36 ft. Daytona 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.
