Yes, that is what the hatch looks like without the pads. Like an idiot I didn't pay attention to the rest of the serial #, which could have told me more.............

Yes, thats a 27' in that add. Here are the rest of the pics from that series, with the same boat and same guy and girl in it, but it's obviously a 27. The pack of pics sold on e-bay about year or two ago for @ $250.

I'm not sure how much the guys knows about it, as it is "just his toy" according to his neihghbor. I think he's a "big boat" guy, but I will go back to get more later - I was out for lunch with wife and kids that day.................

Hang Time 27 - just curious, have you heard any history info on that Squadron XII 24 in Kent Islands.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to get back over there to follow up yet. Wrenched on mine Fri nite, then played hard on it Sat & Sat nite till 2am, with today being nothing but recovery!!........................................

I'll be sure to update this when I do get back over there...

Saw this boat just yesterday. He said it is based on the 24 Cigarette molds, and is made by a company in North Carolina (I think) called Python.

I believe that Rob (RWS on OSO) has a 24' Python he's restored and is ready to paint here in Toledo.
I think he mentioned it's hull being of Aronow origins....
Now.....if we can just get Glass Dave to paint it

I do believe the python is based on the 7' beamed Excalibur, etc.

Hang Time is right.

Python has a 7' beam.

You can see in the pic that the space between the bolsters is small even with the fairing going all the way to the gunnels.

In this pic of an 8' beam boat you can see it has a bigger space and there is 6' catwalk around the fairing on each side of the gunnel.

Here is a better view...

Found this one in my back yard!

Damn, that thing looks good!..............
