So yeah, a likely year 2010 or 2011 80ft equipped to run 60mph would be in that range depending on how ape**** you go with the ammenities. Gotta love the removable hard top.

That's hardcore.

It maybe hardcore but it is no match for a 22 Stingray with an Alpha drive that runs in triple digits (kilometers of course)

The original Avanti sold the molds to the company that owns Egg Harbor yachts. Maybe Paradox can clear this up?

I think FourWinns (Spelling???) up in Cadilac, Michigan are busier than they have ever been and supposedly is one of the busiest boat manufactures in the USA at this time.....and I was told they build boats for under other names as well.
