Maybe drains could be installed?

I can definitely see that being annoying!

The 27 has more room than any other 27 I have been in. It's not the fastest boat, but it is very spacious for it's size and its overall a great handling boat. I have 2 friends who also went with Advantage. They're good for their intended purpose and that is to be a good all around boat. I use mine for tubing, Catalina trips, cruising, everything. Good luck with your search.

I picked up a 07 28br last spring. Best boat I've ever had. Cuts waves like butter and handles great. Runs high 50"s to low 60"s on a good day. Alot of storage, room everywhere. Their gel coat is sweet aswell. Here's my email. [email protected] if want email me and i will send some pics of the boat inside and out so you can check on out.

What do you guys think about them compared to Nordics? I would love an e-mail with those pics, sending one to you now.

When we bought our 30, we looked at Nordic's. Didn't like the open bulkhead for the mid cabin, but I later heard Nordic can close it in if you want. Nordics have a great reputation...

since Nordic was sold off, they are not the boat they used to be. I think the Advantage is a much better boat.

Could be, but I know Randy has been changing things there and Kevin, the shop guy from Advantage is now the GM at Nordic. Talked to him at the LA Boat show. Kevin is the one guy who NEVER steered me wrong or sugar coated any info at Advantage.

For what reasons?

Nordic has been and still is a great boat in my eyes, when I got my last advantage the only reason I didnt get a nordic was I liked the second row of bolsters. I believe the nordic is lighter in weight, therefore they are faster, but still very well made and very solid, I wouldnt have any trouble owning one.
