It was an I/O boat that I converted to run the outboards. It runs 70mph. 8' beam and weighs between 7-8000 lbs. It was the last Cary built . Bob Latham was driving away with it when the sign on the building was being removed to change to Blackfin. It was Bob's boat for30 years. I am good friends with him and Kathy.

We bought a 32 Blackfin in 1982. But I remember the 28 and 33, which were both Cary's... I dug the double console inboard fishing boats.

More of the cockpit...

I have an (unrigged) 27' Magnum sport w/un-cut new transom @ roughly 5500lbs. Now that you mentioned it was a converted I/O boat it gives me thought rto the posibilities for a future twin OB application.
I just wonder about the center of gravity being thrown off w/ setback bracket & 2 OB's hanging....Did you face any negative handling when you went with the conversion? Also, what type of bracket are you
using and how much setback??...........I haven't committed yet and would like to know more of the + & - 's..................Twin OB's would really negate the crampt engine (or lack of) space with twin I/O's
plus winterizing would be a breeze for us northeasterners................not to mention the salt water errosion with I/O's.............lots of +'s

Call me and I can explain everything to you. It's the only way to go. Half the fuel,no maintenance,balance is perfect. Call me and I'll tell you all about it. (315)382-8828 cell. Home (315)699-7331. Thanks Cary
