Re: 1967 SeaMaster 27 ft
 

Can anyone comment as to the ride of the original seamaster 27 with inboards or outdrive models, compared to the bracketed outboard conversion. Is the 27 a much better running boat than the 23 seacrafts. If I could find a buyer for my seacraft 23 Savage, this 27 would be coming home.

Re: 1967 SeaMaster 27 ft
 

Carl designed the boat to be 30ft long in his original
drawings. I received his blessing on the bracket of which
I plan to do with Hermco..

Go for it!!

See ya, Ken

I can , I own a Moesley SeaMaster 27. Yes it rides better than the 23. It is heavy but managable, the hulldesign "Likes" the weight, same with the Moesley 21.
I am usually skippering the boat, so i am on the bridge most of the time, however everyone tells me that in the cockpit that the ride is very smooth. My wife and child were in the V birth watching movies on a ride offshore one day in 5-6', I asked them if they got slammed around and they said no, that it was a little bumpy.
It gets up on plane much easier than you would expect, and it planes at suprising low speed. And from what I am told when buddys pilot their boats next to me, that the hulls disposition looks really nice.
I traded one of my 21 for this boat and I Have no regrets.
It feels and handles like a much bigger boat, you could potentially charter 6 packs out of this craft. Nice rooom in the cockpit and below. The glass in the hull & transom is very , very thick.
Mine is an I/O Mercruiser Bravo 7.4 , with a steel trailer.
My 2001 Suburban with 220,000 miles pulls it well. So towing is not an issue.
If I could sell my 27, I would prefer the 27 with twin Outboards on the bracket. I do not like I/Os.
I cant believe this boat is not sold yet. Hell I may end up with two, it's possible, I had 2 Moesley 21s at one time......

Brian, check your pm.

Re: 1967 SeaMaster 27 ft
 

WOW! How tall is it on the trailer? That is a cool boat. :cool:

Re: 1967 SeaMaster 27 ft
 

Mine sits 12'8" X 10 wide
Steve if you recall from when I tried to get her in
the barn with 12 X 12 doors she would not clear!!

Re: 1967 SeaMaster 27 ft
 

I have driven the 27' SeaMaster with twin 165 hp Mercruisers, and ridden in a 27' SeaVilla with twin Yamaha 220 hp OB. The 27' SeaVilla OB boat belonged to the Royal Bahamian Defense Force, and was used for drug interdiction. It had been converted from a single sterndrive to transom-mounted outboards, and had a top speed of about 47 or so.

Both had astonishing rides, like being on a boat half-again their size. The 27' actually rides better that the 36' Express by Tiara Pursuit.

Shortly after I got to take the 27' sterndrive out fishing with the owner, it sank at the dock in my marina. It was called "Raven", and was for sale for only $500 for 10+ years before it found a home.

They say that your memory is the second thing to go! LOL :D I'm just wondering if it would fit under my lean to. My Carolina Classic is 13'4" so it shouldn't be a problem. :cool:

Re: 1967 SeaMaster 27 ft
 

Steve, My 27 is sitting on an old homemade mobile home
trailer frame that came with the boat. I put four new
14.5 inch tires on it to get her home. I would say that
the Continental that Carl's boat is on sits alot lower!

See ya, Ken
