there is a little info in the 1987 brochure in the "showroom" not much but it gives weights and Max HP.

Good luck with your Eluder
 
This hull has a pad and is a good performer.We had one with a 175 Yamaha on it and it ran good,top speeds were around 60,with a 5.5 inch setback and a 21 laser..(Speedo speeds not GPS)Great tow rig!
 
Thanks for the info guys. Didn't even think to go to the "showroom" to see if a brochure was available. Again thanks.
 
i have just bought an 18 foot eluder myself....1983 model....v-6 i/o...would soak up any and all info you could provide...were all eluders bowriders ?, what size motor you have ?, and im having a hell of a time figuring where all the interior pieces go ...boat was complete(or should be) but stripped down inside, have questions about the floor as well.
im looking at the fiberglass now inside the boat...but it has a trim piece and a teak "lid" for what i think may be ski storage in the floor...would the floor i need to put in be the same hight as the seat mount areas ?

i have a 1984 eluder with the 190 hp 3.7lx
with 1.84x1 drive and a 21 pitch stainless prop she pulls skiers real good and tops out about 56 mph at 5200 rpm

that v-6 should run as good
A 260 hp 5.7 was an option
