Thanks again for the help..

Thanks beer jet! What's the best way maybe trim a half inch off at a time?

Hello all I'm am new to the site and don't want to sound like I am using everyone just for the site but I am using everyone for the web site!! Every time I look on the net for a good hull I wind up back at so cals web site! I have an 82 eliminator bubble deck to make a long story short that hade a run in with a jet ski a couple of months ago! Sucks!! Worked on that boat for a couple of years! Had it 98% done! I am looking for another hull! Would be happy to stay with the same hull or even maybe a sprint or a daytona?? Would like to stay with a eliminator though?? I have a fresh 496 and a ok Berkeley pump! Would be willing to buy a complete turn key boat but would rather pay a little more for a super clean boat less motor! Not sure about the eliminator sprint boats how they ride? But they look good in the water!! The Daytona boat is an awesome looking boat but I think I would have to find on less motor to be able to afford it?? I don't mind the mechanical side of the work at all! Just want a clean Jel coat hull or boat to start with! Anything you guys know of hiding in a garage some where would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks Jason.
