Sounds like a really good deal. Just make sure and have it checked out. The hull on the avalanche has never changed so it will throw an awesome surf wake. I always question adds in all caps and with bankruptcy in the description.

02 was the new hull, so you are good to go there.

With a lein on the boat, make sure you do the transaction in person and with your bank that you trust. If they want to do escrow and things become a hassle, walk away.

The Avalanche is one of the best wakesurf hulls.

There has only been one Avalanche hull. We used two Avys at the NWL National Championship last year. The boat made a very good wake on both sides.

I have a 04 avalanche c4 and I'm wanting to customize it even more for wakesurfing. Does anyone know if changing the pitch of the prop will give a bigger wake? or is it better to use a 3 blade vs. 4 blade prop?

weight & trim tab will do wonders

trim up or down?

The Avalanche surf hull is awesome. One thing to keep in mind with the walk-thru transom is if you have any goofy riders it is a bit more challenging to weight it on the starboard side. 32k is a good deal if the boat checks out ok.

That is a steal for that boat!!!!!! And the hull is amazing. I have the right to get whatever boat I want to use from Centurion and I have a new Avy in my warehouse right now. I love IT!!!!!!!!

Mitch, I like the Avy with the walk thru for goofy wakesurfing. We filled the sack under the walk thru and the center tank, we put a 750 behind a the driver, and then put two 400s on the walkthrough up to the driver. The goofy wake was nearly identical to the regular wake.

I have an 04 avy and agree with Drew, it is awsome for surfing. Whats up Drew? just checked out your new instructional. Nice work!!

Drew, I've seen your posts on how you weigh your Avy. Please post some pics if you get a chance here or CentCrew website.

The weather is just breaking here and my project will start shortly, but my initial Avy setup is going to be: Stock 250 Center Tank, 750 in port locker, 400 tube sac under port seats moved about a foot towards the bow so it's a foot into the flipup cargo area.
I want to see my setup before I add to the bow as I'm going to take the plumbing off my starboard tank and run it to the port 400 tube. Thus I can use the stock plumbing and be upgraded to some more weight in a day of modifications. I'm not going to setup for goofy as I have the walkthrough and my most important want is no bags in sight.
I have the switchblade too and you're the first I've heard that engages it at all. (2). From everone's writeups it sounds like I'll find out that I need some pop bags in the bow to lengthen the wave. Look forward to pics of everyone's Avy setup.
