Advantage Victory 27 question

[millhouse961]

Hey guys-
I've been looking at a number of different 27-28' offshore boats for a while now, and after meeting the advantage guys at the OC boat show last month and sitting in the 27, I can't imagine getting anything else. I'm planning on ordering it at the LA boat show in Feb. '08 and the advantage people said they would custom design and gel coat I wanted. My question is, do any of you know where I might find a blank template of the boat that I could use in photoshop or even just hand draw on to get an idea of how I want my graphics to look? What did you all do?
Thanks,
Mead Whippo

Just call the factory and they will mail or fax one to you 928-680-2628, ask for Kevin. They would be more then helpful.

What kind of power are you looking to put in your new 27?

Probably the 496 HO. The 525 would be cool, but for the additional $20-40k (if I remember correctly) I don't need it that bad. The 496 HO will probably be fast enough to get me excited and all the other advantages of the boat (no pun intended) more than make up for being a little slower than some others of comparable size.

Well for the $20-40K for the 525, you can get a lot more for your money at some of the other engine builders like Teague for example. I had his 620hp motor in mine before I put the 800efi in at it ran great with no handling issues of any sort. You could get that motor with all the Teague hardware and TCM XR Drive for less than a 525. The boat ran consistant low 70s with the 620. Just a suggestion if you're looking for a little more speed.

Thanks for the input. Did you sell your 496 when you pulled it out? How much can you get?

I never had it with the 496, I had it built with the 620 then put the 800 in last april.

You had it built from advantage with the 620? How much extra did they charge you for that?
