I've got an early 70's 27 Sport ( probably a '73) that has been painted maroon with a black boot stripe. The boat was originally lime green....had Florida tags at some point. I sanded some paint off the sides and there's no name. Long shot, but does anyone remember a boat like this? Any history would be great....lime was not a very common color.

Here's a link to a photo:

Gil Lieber ?

Aaron good luck with your search sorry I can't help, but are there any grease pen markings (under the deck) to identify hull #'s
With those atleast you might know who purchased the sport from the factory...........maybe a point to start at.

The boat was raced as Chartreuse, 75 and 76 for sure.

In the Production classes it ran as a P boat. Small block 350 cu in with 280 HP Mercruisers with TRS drives.

Wow!...really? That's so awesome Charlie.

Yeah, just talked with Mark O and he says Chartreuse is still in Michigan...

Sounds like it

Chartreuse was originally a Volvo outdrive Mag Gil Lieber converted it to Trs drives around 1975 covering the large Volvo cutouts with a stainless steel plate. Gil raced it as Chartreuse & after he sold it it became Wishing Well still in it's Chartreuse color. By the late 70's it changed it's color to brown & white & became BONANZA after the sponsors Steak house. Once again it was sold & it received a new color Silver & white & that's how it looks today with it's latest owner in Algonac Mi. This mag still sports it's very loud Wolverine aluminum dry exhaust pipes & chickin bar cockpit cage as it did when it raced.

That boat is awesome!!
