33X / 700’s. 140 mph!
I was going to say the same thing but thought I was potentially being a sensitive millennialYou might consider changing the title of the thread considering today's incidents. Beautiful boat by the way!
Yikes I clicked thinking it was about todays shooting in TX…
33 and yes same power.Did Lance have the 31 or 33? Same power I believe.

I am a fan of Eliminator as I love my 21. The new stuff they are doing is amazing, but I just can't help think that goofy tunnel tab mounted on the back is a band aid for a hull that is not balanced correctly. Especially on a hull with a centerpod.
Just my opinion of course. Great speed and beautiful boat.

Pretty comical to me how many center pod boats need these tunnel tabs & vent tubes off the drives AND none of them will even remotely come close to hang with a true tunnel in rough water
If it is there just to help roll over, then I understand. But if it wont roll over with out it, or it has a crazy range of porpoise, then I stand by my first statement.The tab is up when you are running.. it’s only to help get you on plane / roll over quicker.
The big true tunnels running tabs are usually a band aid unless you are racing.

My 36 Spectre had a monster tab (true tunnel), and you could use it for various reasons, just had to be careful.
Take nganga's 36 Skater for example, as it has no tabs of any sort, and it does everything perfect (except fuel pumps =))
At this point, DCB, Eliminator, and MTI build the same boats. All great.
My Spectre would gain almost 2mph dropping the tab. Wouldn't help much getting on plane, but the big tunnels just come up, out of the water.On the big true tunnels you can use the big tab to raise tunnel compression and increase top
Speed in smoother conditions.. you can also tame (or rather shift) some of the hop..
I have never seen a skater that didn’t have some hop at some speed.. it’s just kinda the nature of the beast with any air entrapment hull.
Amazing speed. Wow.
Since AJ changed my rotation. No hop. None. 65-80 nice and smoothOn the big true tunnels you can use the big tab to raise tunnel compression and increase top

It was out. AJ changed it to in. It was driving straight through the props (38’s) right up on the rev limiters.That’s cool if you don’t have any hop! Very rare.. you spinning in or out?
Is he shooting yours?This boat sure looked and sounded good in person. We launched next to it at the same time. @RiverDave i sent you a PM if you want to shoot the Howard..
He said he wants to. I gave him a list of dates that work for me. Sounds like fun to me, I always like any reason to take the boat out.Is he shooting yours?
