Good luck with this one Ken! It's the ultimate SeaCraft! I have a friend that bought one new - had a big block Mercruiser in it. It was a great Bahamas rig! Denny

Re: 27 project
 

My only hope is that whoever wins will have the moral, physical, and financial dedication to make her just as sweet as the No Bones! This boat deserves to be a christmas ornament not a lawn ornament! That`s gonna take some serious jack and a whole lotta sweat.

Area 442 would be the perfect triage unit. I wish to partake in the imagineering please! :D

Cheers,
GFS

does this mean "I" found an old girl before the experts :eek:

please send pics when you get her

Re: 27 project
 

Ken, I humbly beg your pardon for spilling the beans. :(

Re: 27 project
 

Hi NoBones:

That would be a cool name for her. I always have thought the SeaCraft really missed the boat by not pursuing the 27’ CC as a key boat for them instead of the 25 footer. Don’t get me wrong I like the 25 footers but for me when you already have the 23 footer as a key boat you need to really kick it up a notch and the differences between the 23 with a bracket and the 25 are kind of competing against each other where as the 27 foot CC would have been a defined major difference. If you get her what’s your plan CC or keep her like she is? I/O or twin outboard on a bracket?

******** eXtreme Makeover---- 27' Edition*******
 

Update....
Tarpun and I just returned from the recon.
All I can say is if someone is serious about this
boat "BE PREPARED" for a major expense in just
moving her. The boat has not moved since 1982.
It is a TOTAL gut. What the weather did not take its
toll on the rats, termites and racoons did!!!!!

Keeping in mind that there is the one in Texas for sale
right now for $12,500. Where as this restore will be
somewhere between $65-$85,000, just a conservative guess.

May the best man win ;)
See ya, Ken

That's too bad. That thing looks like a total wreck. Were the stringers and transom rotton too?? Or did you even go that far b/f throwing your hands up and waiving the white flag?
