Hmmmmm... carb motors in a 2004??? I love the looks of that boat, but previous posts about Avanti swapping parts from boat to boat would make me shy away.

I bought a new 27 from the JetSet in 1983. I rigged it myself with twin outboards. Good rough water boat with average quality. The bottom is a stretched knock off of a 24' Excalibur.7' beam

they were the ones who stopped and picked up the guys who were in the water. so they didn't do well in the race, but got the sportsmanship award!!

Do you know where Douglas Mich is? But I bet just about everyone knows at least one boat that is made there.

It's not a bad boat for 25k BUT! I don't think you will see 78 Mph on GPS with 385 HP in that boat
