Default Shopping for a mid cuddy open bow need some input

I have a few ideas in mind but there isn't much info on a few models that are appealing. I really like the Nordic Rage but they seem to be pretty hard to find. Eliminators are my top choice but they are just too damn expensive. Kachina, Commander, and Magic seem to be the best all around combo of price, style, and power options. I read the post on here a while back about the guy getting used ****ty parts put on his brand new Kachina so im iffy about that one. What do you guys know about Commanders? There are two for sale one in Dallas and one is Havasu that are right in my price range both have 496 HO motors with low hours. I would like to get into a 500 EFI but they are just as rare as the Nordic's.

I like the Lavey Craft 2750 Mid Cabin and also the Shockwave Tremor. I think I have also seen a 29' Shockwave Magnitude Mid Cabin.

I also like the advantage line. I owned a 27 victory which is very roomy and has a great ride and now currently own a 32 victory open handles great and very spacious. I am a lake Ozark boater which gets very rough. I have also been in nordic 28 heat similar ride as 27 advantage but not as roomy
Good luck on your search

I have looked at the Magic and Kachina brands. Both appear to be low quality builds. I am on my 2nd Advantage MCOB and would buy another.

I was in the same spot as you, I was looking at Nordic Rages, Heats and then other brands but I felt the same way about Kachina etc. I ended up getting a Sunsation Dominator. I was originally looking for a 288 but found one where the price was close enough I could jump to the 32 with twins.

I thought Sunsation had the best in quality of build, interior materials and of course exterior styling. Definitely all subjective opinion

Advantage makes a nice boat! I would have checked in to them more if I could have found any nice ones when I was looking.

The green 09 rage with 525 is for sale. Very rare options. I would have jumped on that if I didn't already have mine.
