Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

Borrowed from a thread from classicwhaler.com, if you had to buy a boat under 28' OTHER than a SeaCraft, what would it be. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

cape cod 26 or conch 27

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

I would have to say either a Contender 27,SeaVee 26 , or a Conch 27 all with twin 200 Yamaha set up for little longer trips to the Bahamas.

For me, this boat simple looks like what a 27 foot SeaCraft SHOULD look like. Built with vacuum bagging and kevlar, it only weighs a mere 100 pounds than my 1978 (#2650) CC. A 100k price tag is a little excessive but not too crazy in todays market.

That is a nice boat ..... I don’t know the status but in an earlier thread (off topic ??) that 27 came up and someone mentioned that Hell's Bay was having a bit of financial trouble .... Too bad if its true and hope someone bails them out as that is a pretty boat

Would love to take a ride on one of them, as I'm curious to the ride vs. hull weight and how well it would perform in some real slop

Cost .... as Briguy says for a 27 with motors and a trailer ...that too aint bad in today’s wacko out of control market [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Scott & Bri,

I saw the Hell's Bay at the Miami show. She jumps right out at you like a long legged blond bombshell. You can't wait to walk up to her and gawk.

Look at who posted replies to this thread! I give you the Classic SeaCraft OCD Club!

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

Gotta love the Tides 27', saw it, drove it, and almost bought it, twin Yanmars, canyon runner...just as soon as I get divorced [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

Without any question it would be a 1967 20' Bertram BMR or Moppy.

That boat is incredible.
Rocks like crazy at a standstill but after seeing more Airtime then a motorcross bike, that baby re enters the water just as soft as you can imagine.

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

scott, the guy across the cannal from me has a 27 hell's bay with twin 225 yamahas and i seen that thing in rough water looks like she handles like a seacraft. and jumps up fast.

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

I would have to say anyone elses boat that is full of gas,beer and bikini's and fish did I mention fish?.....

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

25' Carolina Classic
Luhrs 250 Open
25' Bertram Bahia Mar
25' Grady Wahoo (single straight inboard. Drop a built 454 or a 496 in if it'll fit). Won't be the best riding boat but damn near one of a kind. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

24' Albemarle for me.

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

SeaMaster ....any chance you could get a real picture of that boat ??? would love to see it!

Joe ..that Northrip looks real nice !!

Re: Your second favorite boat under 28'
 

Other Tom's rendition of a 25'CC (Whitewater redo) is pretty close to ideal.... That said, I saw some nice Conch's/Whitewater's/old Contender's in Key West yesterday that were rather attractive. Joey's Fitz 25' ain't ugly either [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
