Well, say hey. to your buddy Ken.
Actually compared to any other true 33' boat the Avanti is around the middle in weight. For sure not a light weight, and not the fastest hulls around, but when it comes to some rough water, I'm happy with the performance. Countless times during my Poker runs, some boats in the same size, (no names. lol) couldn't keep up even thought they were actually faster in smooth seas.

o man fast fun 2, thats sweet, is that the same hull as mine? Only reason I ask is you have one bow hatch not sure if its narrower?

what were you running for power/outdrive, mine is just a stock 350,

I would like to go back to the original interior with the bolsters with the angled bracket off the back of them like you have on yours.

Also how much of a project is it to add the 2 front fog lights like you have in the front

Got any more pics?

We had to put a spacer in ours, any higher it would blow out.

Default Just a Thought

Should you upgrade to a bravo might as well throw some used k-planes at it @ the same time. Rich
