Not sure why so many here are "blacklisting" the 496, but mine run just fine. Granted, they are not ideal candidates for big HP, but left at or near stock, they do quite well. I had heard the 32 Victory was touted as the APBA offshore champion in the 32' class for several years so it has been know to handle the rough stuff.
So what is the top end and what do think of Advantage quality? |
Lake Travis Poker run this weekend. If you can make it, you should see a lot and get a bunch of ideas of what you want. Hang out at Carlos and Charlie's. Keep an eye on the south central section for more info on the Poker Run.

Any comments on the Velocity 290SC? The velocitys are fast, which I take to mean they are light? If so does this have implications for durability?
The other, and much more expensive boat I have been looking at is Donzi. I actually had the baby Donzi 19' ski boat a few years back. Very heavy hull. Made for a very slow boat with the 4.3L. Any comments on the 33' Donzi? Guessing you are looking at a ZX? We looked at them too. Only thing is they are a BIG 33.....as in heavy and with a very wide bean, towing is a task with them on crowded public streets. |

You planning on going? |
My 32 will run a tad over 80 with the HOs. I really like the 4 bolster cockpit, and the forward design negates the need for tabs. I never lose sight of the water when taking off. The fit and finish is comparable to Donzi or Fountain or Nordic, etc. It's no Nortech or MTI, but nice. My interior is rather bland ( not alot of color) and the paint is pretty modest(not flashy), but that is simply a choice of whomever ordered the boat (I bought used). I have seen some pretty colorful interiors and paint schemes.

Nope! While it is plenty big enough to use, I have never put water in the fresh water tank and the plastic is still on porcelain head! Folks ask me why, I say "I ain't haulin MY sh#$ around and sure as hell ain't haulin others!" Too many opportunities to go elsewhere. Makes a great place to store stuff though!

Oh, and as for the berth, if you are looking for an overnighter, the 32 is not the biggest. (unless you're 4' tall!)

Last year I bought a 29 outlaw got a survey and thought all was good this year I've had the boat in from April and 10,000 invested so far and the survey said the boat was in excellent condition. I would suggest taking a mechanic u trust with u
