Avanti boats? how are they?
 

I would like to get some objective input on the Avanti's 33'.
I know it's not a cig. and not a house hold name.
I am considering, having a hull finished with 525's.
Opinions? THX.

Like I told you before watch out for the year they are trying to pass the boat off as. But other than that they are solid. I would worry more about who is gonna rig it.

I have a 27. Its built like a brick house but ALL AVANTI RIGGING SUCKS! We have totally gone through ours and made it right.We are doing the same to a 22 that Denis ****ed up!

Avanti is Gone the place closed up and they sold the molds and name.

THey use to leave the molds outside and when they needed to make a boat they would clean all the water and garbage out and make a boat.My buddy had a 27 it did run through some snotty waves.

I had a 27 back in 92. Rock solid good rough water boat. Had a single 420 with TRS drive ran 65. Used to be callled Instigator-painted red

You dont happen to remember what prop do you? Mine with a 525 is only getting 68

Pre GPS speed?

TRUE very TRUE forgot about that. I have some old picts. I know it was a cleaver, I want to say 19. Not sure though.

I also head Gil headers and ran it light.
