Question about a Eliminator 1974
« on: July 14, 2010, 04:56:00 PM »
I sold my 1974 Eliminator  :'(. The guy who bought it calls me back and tells me that he changed out the impeller on the Drake pump and that afterwards the boat GPSd at 68 mph. The best I ever did before was 52. Did he really pull that many more MPH with a fricking impeller change?

Real nice of the guy to call back and let you in on the "good news".    Ouch

I wouldn't believe him just to make myself feel better.  Tell myself that he wouldn't call back if he had only seen say half that.  Would he?   Nah . . .


Fock -- 16 mph really?   Really?   A Drake?                                                            :banghead:

Maybe the old impeller was missing a couple blades? ;D

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Something tells me he is using an Ebay GPS.....In other words full of shit. :sly:

Do you remember what RPM it turned before you sold it?

I was turning about 5600 he said it has kicked up to about 6400. I know he will blow it up if he runs it like  that very long. I am just curious if that is truly possible.

Ebay or Craiglist speeds were used. Anything is possible, but that's a steep increase in speed.
