26' ICC vs 27' Daytona Comparison
Could someone tell me the main differences between the 26' and 27' Daytona's? They both show to be 26'10". Is one better than the other? Cockpit size? Height?

The 26 has alot more cockpit room and a much bigger engine compartment. The bottoms are the same between both hulls. The bottom line is which one you personally like better.

The Speedster is "supposed" to be the fastest, HP to HP & out of the 3 different decks/tops in the 27' molds. This infomation was told to me by Bob L. at Eliminator. The theory is, the rounded windshield of the Speedster changes the CG's and creates more lift. This is exactly what Tres Martin told me when I asked too. He said the most likey "theory" for the claim of the Speedster being faster compared to the ICC or Standard deck is the CG's. He drew it out on the white board. Any way, it was nice to hear the same "theory" from two very reputable preformance boaters.
Just my 2 cents.

The main difference on the deck of the two ICC models is the distance between the canopies ... 22" on the 26', 14" on the 27'
26' makes a great open-bow walk=thru

I ended up with that 26' walk thru, "High Voltage." I took that boats rigging and power from sad to Glad. I sold the boat Less power to a guy in Canada, he sold it to a guy in Tennessee, I think. As I mentiond we rebuilt the motor. The only thing I used was the pro charger, the block which I had to have lined bored, intercooler, intake manifold and CMI's. I had Octane Marine make that motor right, I later sold the motor to a guy in the Phoenix area.
