The water situation here in Cali is looking really bad bad. Shasta Lake may shrink to 1977 levels if no rain. Any folks have experience with launching at Shasta during record low water levels? Boating experience during those periods?

Ok great. Thats good to know when looking at the older boats too. Thx!

I have looked around but did not find much. Are there much differences between the 2002 and 2005 avy hulls? I thought I read somewhere that there was a hull change in 2005 but not sure. Thanks guys.

Thx guys. I will look into upgrading that down the road.

Does the plate come into play with wake boading or is it mainly surf?

Looking at older avalanches 2005...some dont have hydraulic plate...just mechanical ones. Can get pretty good deal. How big of a deal to not have hyd plate. Plan on 60 to 70 % surf...rest wakeboard. Thx guys...hope to hav centurion soon.

I will do that. I will be pretty busy over the holidays so I will start that thread starting Jan. I definitely am weighing all the options/cost when considering a surf boat....but do have constraints with my budget

Thx piodog...yea I have been negotiating a bit...but not going into the numbers to be attractive. I think I will look for something newer in the 25k range if I can.

Any opinions on this? Im new hear...new to centurion. Looking for an affordable surf boat. I know the C4 is ideal ... but considering a boat like this. 2002 Avy low hours $22k http://sacramento.craigslist.org/boa/4235663229.html I want to stay 25K and under...in CA area...but willing to drive to neighboring states.
