It’s rare that I write a story that has two subjects I’ve never reported on before, but this one does. First, I’ve never done an article about a boater from South Dakota. Meet Cory Schmitz, the owner of what’s arguably the most iconic Eliminator Boats 33 Daytona ever—Fatal Attraction, the 33-foot cat powered by twin 1,800-hp engines from GT Performance that Nebraska performance boater Greg Olson pushed to a 192-mph top speed to earn the overall Top Gun title at the 2012 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in Central Missouri.
South Dakota's Cory Schmitz is thrilled with the new interior Eliminator Boats did for his 33-foot cat, which happens to be the boat Nebraska's Greg Olson drove 192 mph to win the 2012 Top Gun trophy at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout. Photos courtesy Cory Schmitz
