I think @Tommygun figured that out when he got rid of the pink Eliminator and went to the blue one. But then again.... Rumor is he wasn't too upset about it. Lol!
I have said it before about current pictures. If I had a nickel for every sale add that had the original pics that were taken 20 years ago..
In today's market that is a free boat if it matches up.
Buffing the gel + detail 1k. Trailer 1k. Decent sbc 1-2k with all the trimmings. Decent interior 1-2 k. At that point one might get a project with little investment IF you have skillz.
It's an Eliminator.
I'm terrible with words but I was saying the same thing. What I listed is already done.I’d buy that thing all day long for 5k if I was looking for one. You can buff that yourself if you don’t mind the elbow grease in a couple of days (that’s multiple stages, not just making it look shiny). Trailer needs a paint job, most back there don’t care. If it runs well I’d leave it.. even if it doesn’t figure 1-1500.00 in Misc. and you have yourself a nice little ski boat that happens to be an Eliminator.

More like these days, rather than partsHonestly it's too small for around these parts. 25+ is kind of the rule with how bad the water gets from all the traffic
If I remember Mike Murphy worked in collaboration with Bob at Eliminator to develop that boat. I’m surprised they didn’t sell more. It’s a great boat! For $5K (probably less) someone is getting a bargain ski/wakeboard boat!
You talk to that guy?From Mike...
"The answer would be yes I helped Bob with three direct rides 20 flat bottom you're basic tournament ski boat a 20 1/2 foot v Bottom. And the rarest of all 21foot 6 inch vee bottom direct drive.
That was the first boat, to be certified for tricks slalom jump and barefoot by AWsa American water ski association"
You talk to that guy?
Does he still have the Volvo-Rati?
Mike had a red one years and years ago. Guess what he called itI ski with Murphy from time to time. "Father of Foiling"
"A Volvo Rati is an old Volvo P 1800 A really cool Volvo sports car. I owned one it was so sporty I named it the Volvo Rati . Where in the world did you hear about the Volvo Rati. My brother Nick wound up owning it, sold it overseas for a bunch of money."

That boat looks pretty clean from the pics. Smoking deal if its as clean as it looks.
Mike just called. He bought the boat.
It's a Mike Mack's on the Strip right now but will end up in Canyon Lake.Dang. It was on my list but not ready to purchase just yet! Glad it went to where it should have gone!
