There are many variables to consider for both.  For the skis what length did you get, how good are you now, how often are you going to ride, how quickly do you honestly see yourself progressing, and where do you ski.  As for the boots, did you get fit properly by a boot fitter, how much room do you have on a shell fit, when was the last time your foot grew, and are you in the middle of a growth spurt.  So in short I have no answer.

I would give you 35-40 pounds of growth on the skis, so however long that takes.  As for the boot it is hard to say, 27 is probably the most commonly skied shell size but if your feet have grown recently you may still have a size or two to go.  You probably got the standard 3/4 to 1 inch shell fit so a half size of growth should be no big deal but a full size might start to present so fit problems.  Hope that helps.
