johnny b good,
I bought my 95 Avenger in late September that was for sale - you might know it since you are at ABM and that's where the boat was stored. Last fall, I pulled the entire cockpit interior out and had it re-covered and its sitting down the basement. I cleaned the bottom of the boat where in spots it had an ugly build-up probably from abuse in the past. Boat exterior is in decent shape for the age, motor rebuilds have less than a 100 hrs on them, drives were taken off, gone thru and re-alinged during installation. So the interior (in my mind) was the downer of this boat - which now has been rectified.
Do you know any history on this boat - good, bad or indifferent? since you have a 97 - any words of wisdom/advice?

As far as My Avenger and a friend of mine who bought a 97 Avenger( Perfect Mix's previous boat) They have been good solid reliable boats with just some minor nuisances. I have put about 350 hours on mine over the last 5 seasons since I bought it with no problems. I am very meticulous on maintenance and don't beat the crap out of the boat though. I have done a lot of little upgrades thru the years. I would say the biggest weakest link on these boats are the sliding cabin door which can cause issues. Mine finally started acting up last year so I will be repairing it come spring. Feel free to keep asking questions on here as things come up. Enjoy this summer!..John

Sliding Door & Toliet
What happens with the sliding door? Mine seemed pretty solid. It also seems "sgnificant" compare to what I've seen on other boats.
The toliet almost seems like a port-a-poty rather than a pump-out. Are there any issues? Are there any do's or don'ts? Do you know the number of gallons/capacity of the holding tank?

Mine is a Vacuum flush with the pump out fitting on the cat walk next to the fresh water fill on the starboard side of the boat, I believe it's a 6 gallon holding tank, It works great and it is used for pee only.
