I'm sure that's what the original buyer wanted, and I can understand- he didn't need speed, but wanted the best built boat (IMO) that there was. Can't argue with his logic, and it probably even cost...

Sure sounds like the boat a friend of mine came home from FL with last week. '08 (I think) 33 with no motors/drives, a repo. He lives about 5 miles from me (central IL) and I'll be by there this week.

I've had my 27 for 6 years- a '91 with a standard 454. It's only a 50 mph boat, but a very comfortable cruiser. Wife hates it- we've skied with it a few times, and it actually did OK, but she wants a...

Re: Best used 27 footer
