Eliminator Boats had their 50th Anniversary party last weekend and it was one for the books! With over 200 people RSVP'ing to the event we made the decision that the juice was worth the squeeze.

It's the end of January and we have already had our first boating event of the season in 2019! The Los Angeles Boat Show has traditionally been the kick off for all things boating in each new year. The show itself is also a barometer of sorts for those in the industry to know "what's to come."...

Last weekend was the 9th annual Flat Bottom Boogie event in Kingsburg, California. Kingsburg, if you are not familiar, is a small farming town located off of Hwy 99 just south of Fresno. Its one of those towns where if you blink you’ll miss it. Luckily, I didn’t.
