    It is a 1988 in excellent shape; almost always was stored indoors.
    Has a 489 BBC, front offshore mount, CMI exhaust, Canton Accusump, Olsen oil cooler - well, you get the idea. 1.36 and 1.5 drives with Simrick shower and full hydraulic steering.
    Don't use the boat except when the 32 Stealth is down but really can't sell it as no one will pay 15 to 20 for an old Avanti regardless of condition and rigging

    That doesn't matter at all. As a matter of fact, it's a good thing you got this. There are not a lot of Avanti's left in good running condition.....

    yeah, this was a 'paparazzi run'; I really did not think the prop was out that far but it landed nice and soft as always (with a bit of power to keep the attitude right)
