Now if I can just get over my prejudice of Elan.

I hear you on that Smitty. Although I have to admit, I've often thought that a Lazer (which I understand was an Advance hull) would be a pretty cool boat with the hotter Marine Power engine. I seem to remember reading something that they were lighter than the Advance and the engine being 320HP should have made them a pretty quick number. At least on paper. I have no idea if that is truly the case or not. Just don't think the same quality was ever there either. Interesting boat that I would love to drive and ski sometime.
When people run down to the lake to see what is making that noise, you've succeeded.

The '88 Advance just completed her 2nd Reunion & is now for sale, Just brought in her replacement, a '92 LEGEND that will undergo basic repairs for this summer & then undergo major updating this fall, so go easy on the LEGENDS.

Fort those of you NOT in the know...  Ron's 88 Advance looks brand new - hell, most of it is BRAND NEW including all the wiring, plumbing, floors, underfloor foam, etc.   If your so inclined, this boat has years & years of problem free running ahead of it...  It is a "turn key" boat.  You dont have to worry about what shadetree mechanic did or didnt do correctly or  if the boat store part-time figerglass guy "hide" some structural flaw.  This boat looks and runs like its brand new!!!  Ron and the boys did a great job on this boat!!

If that boat were within a few hundred miles I would snag it.... Why are all the good project deals on the left coast?

Wow, I would totally own that brown '78 if I had the money.  Hell, I would buy all of these boats if I had the money !!  And glad to read that Ron has joined the Legend crowd.  Can wait to see what he does to it.
