Looks like I will be getting a new to me boat sometime next year.....Hoping earlier than later.....But it never hurts to start looking now to see what I like.

I'm really liking the Advantage Victory 28 with an open bow.
Seem to be priced in my range. Does anyone have any kind of info on this boat and specifically Advantage as a builder??
Give me the good, bad and ugly.....

Has anyone had any experience driving from the middle of a boat???
How does it compare to driving from the left side???...(Current boat is a jet. I drive on the left side)
Will a 496HO do ok pushing this boat through the water at a decent speed....I currently have a 454.

Here is a link to one that is currently listed with a few pics...http://mohave.craigslist.org/boa/5125293888.html
