We have managed with this amount in our 19.5 i/o all summer. Its not great but gets us out there. We do drop some of on beach but are on the water with this amount lots. I hope this avalanche checks out.

Im a recreational skier at best haha. Will never be in a course but usually if time slalom each time we are out just for exercise. As far as surfing I have never had the opportunity to try but love water sports and think we would love it. We have 9-10 people on board regularly 5 adults and younger kids so room is important.

great points and thanks for the advise. The owner is taking the time to do a full facetime video of the 03 avalanche with me this morning to show the cosmetic issues and so i can get a better feel for it overall. If good Ill have him take to get a pre-purchace inspection done and go from there. It does need a bimini and I can not find where to get used or new ones any suggestions where to look? Im in canada

I was about to pull the pin on this t5 with 105 hours and a 03 Centurion Avalanche 22' v drive with 375 hours has came up for right around the same price. it needs a little tlc has a good mechanical history and spoke with the dealer who just did a full service on it and seems ok as far as the engine. has some stress cracks on front of tower mounts but only gel coat. needs some vinyl work and just a good cleaning. Any good or bad on a avalanche over t5?

I cant find a bigger wake V drive within 10k of this though. And we are maxed out at the price of this. Like i say it really is going to be a multi use boat. Id guess i would use to surf 1 out of 10 time out. I dont even have time to wakeboard right now the kids use up all the time haha.

Thank you for your reply. Previous owner has videos of them surfing. Only has the stock 350lbs ballast and looked ok. I'm not ever going to be a extreme surfer so it looks perfect. I'm very familiar with used boats so I'm comfortable with what to look for as far as engine maintenance. I would also have a merc tech check official hours to make sure they match the dash. Only problem is this boat is 5 hours away so want as much info before I make the trip to look it over in person. Sounds like a perfect multi purpose boat for us.
