I would think the guy you bought it from would knoe best about your question... what did he say? Did you tell him your plans with it?

Eliminator never made a 21' daytona jet....only a 22' and a 19' ....that hull was never intended to be universal.

I am not saying it cant be done, but you might run into problems ...similar to the ones you are already seeing.

Youre going to have to put in new stringers (taller and wider apart)...cut a hole for an intake and ....wait....does it have a center 3rd sponsoon like this one...



if it doesnt, you might as well keep it as an outboat because thats going to be one HUGE project.....if the bottom is flat in the rear between the 2 sponsoons, the pump will not be low enough to catch water.

based on this picture, it looks like you may be in luck...




anyways...sorry for thinking out loud.....

its still a big project....new stringers, hole for intake, hole for pump....this isnt an easy task, it would take someone with experience and knows the daytona hulls inside and out.

good luck and congrats on the buy!

and welcome to the site!

I'd keep the outboard on it. 

I'd keep the outboard on it. 

i cant believe im saying this either, but i'd keep the strap on power....its the easy way out too.

the hull was made to be an outboard....no telling how it will behave with a jet in it.

Priceless....

I can't believe that you saw it, read it, and didn't put my qoute in your signature Warlock. 

Open mouth, insert foot.    Words to live by, errr...   

that was a good buy. glad to see that someone here bought it. Now we just need pictures of the project. there are 21' jet. I think eliminator had two different hull that were 21'  libator splashed it and they make jet, o/i and outboard hulls with that mold. buddy has a 21 jet. just my .02

Thanks HR! Can't believe I didn't think of that!!!

Stay off Plesh's meds, they seem to slow you down.     

By the time you're done putting new stringers, jet pump, ligning everything up, getting the parts, uhggg... keep the outboard it'll be faster that way, have more interior room, and use less gas.

Yea...Butt help me make cents if like Plesh do maybe cause...

LMFAO!

NICE! LMFAO   

Look I'm cool!!!

wft, lol

TSFS

does it have a center 3rd sponsoon like this one...

Yes, it looks just like that, but maybe different dimentions. I'm going to take the Berkeley transom plate out to the boat later and see if it looks the same. I think the center sponsoon may be to narrow, the berkeley plate is 14.5 in wide and when I measered the hull yesterday I think it was only 12.5 in  , but I realy cant remember and the boat is at my parents house, I need to do something with my old boat before bringing another project home 

 And yea I know the outboard will be faster, have more room, and use less fuel, but thay are BUT UGLY and sound downright UNAMERICAN !!  I WANT MY BIG BLOCK !! There's nothing better than pulling out the baffeles and wakeing up the whole lake at 7am
