A very good friend of mine who due to his night time Vietnam era Navy river gun boat training ran a few Signatures with very large hatches in the deck back in the day, Yes Tommy was involved .:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Very interesting reading about the Signature history. I know of a 1976 27' red and white one with a single BBC bow tie motor that ran in Northport, NY on Long island. Beautiful lines, ran around 70-72 mph I recall and would cut through the waves like butter. It has been changed over to a twin outboard setup over the years and is now white. I seem to recall being told it was a heavy layup in those days so to go fast they needed alot of HP.

After reading thru here I'm wondering if it is really a 'Signature' boat or perhaps really a Magnum hull with the Signature name.

DNelson, the 27 Signature was spalshed from the 27 Magnum botttom,. A new deck was designed, hence=27 Signature.

Read post # 29 about my thought on the Signature 27'.

Mark those headers dumping to the sides of the Signature27 look really cool and must have been pretty loud to........is that strictly race or could that ever work in a pleasure setup?

Pete When I saw Tom's 27' Signature @ the 1976 River Crab race the engine compartment was very impressive. The small block Chevy's with the Paterson headers pipes coming out the side was very cool & looked as good as any open class boat racing @ that race. A funny thing about Tom's boat though it never came of the trailer that race weekend so I never heard it run.... Mark

Yes I did read that thanks. Say if you want to get some input/ info from the actual Owner of the 1976 Red 27' Signature I had mentioned about above contact Joe Corretti of Corretti Racing Engines on here. It was His boat and a Beauty it was !
