The 27 with the blown small blocks was mine. I have been in morning since the sale. I just Bought another 27 with twin MPI's. Its All white with Red Silver and Black Graphics. Its an Ex APBA race boat rigged originally by MRD of long island. NO cabin at all. These boats are the best ! 27 years old and offshore raced and all the stringers bulkheads and Tabbing look as if they just came from the mold. This one will be getting a pair of 500 or so hp small blocks. Should be getting this into the 90's and revitalize the Carrera name !

Yes it has a pair of small blocks and bravos hopefully going to get through the next season with these stockers and build something for the following year.

They are awesome boats and will always be considered great offshore rides. The classic lines are what set the SS8M apart from most boats. Twin 500HP, will definitely get you in the 90's easy..

Carrera boats have never been forgotten.

Enjoy,
Joe

Hi I'm looking for some help. I'm buying a carrera 27 center console with a single ob on a bracket. I'm going to switch the bracket and go with twins. Does anyone know the outboard power rating of this hull?

You can put whatever engines your wallet will allow. I have seen 2 300xs on a cc. Mine has twin smallblocks bravos and big k planes. Thats more weight then 2 outboards.
