Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

I need to see some pics of this boat. Let me know if you need help posting. From the description I assume its a CC with a cuddy and tower? Pics and price please. I am interested.

Because you said SF, I am assuming it is not this one.

Hi,
I am having trouble trying to post a photo. I can email you a photo. I am asking $14900.
Thanks, Ed

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

Here is one he sent me the other day. Hmmmm....

If it is a 72, it's one of two.. hard to tell if it's a seacraft from this shot...

Need better pictures.. :D It kind of looks like the Master Angler, but if it is it's more likely a 77 or 78. I have only seen one of these 27 master anglers for sale. It was up on yachtworld.com out of NY.

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

It kind of has the same lines as a Seafari, with that windshield and the shape of the trunk cabin. Did SC make a 27-foot Seafari early on?

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

I think the "Sea" part is right.. just that its a Sea Bird not a Sea Craft. The early 27 hull didn't have that chine that runs together in the bow...

Look at the differance in the chine..

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

Don,
I see a chine on the black 27', just below the red waterline stripe. I say capeed's boat is a SeaCraft.

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

I agree Scott.. I just feel its not as pronounce as on capeed's boat.. It is hard to tell.. anothe pic...

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

Capeed,

Looking at the stern of the boat, is the transom shaped similiar to this?
http://www.classicseacraft.com/broch...edium/0002.jpg

Does it have the stepped hull?

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

TO all you disbelievers
I just took a ride and went and looked at that black 27 and they are the EXACT same hulls. My hull has the steps in the hull and it is a SEACRAFT
Thanks, Ed

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

Ed,... We're not "disbelievers".. Your boat is one version of a Sea Craft none of us have never seen or seen any type of info on. Most of the people on this site live and breath Sea Craft dust. If you have noticed, there is more info here on old Sea Crafts then is in the back rooms of Sea Craft its self. So don't get mad if we don't believe its a Sea Craft, we've seen a lot of quote Sea Craft's. A few more pics of the boat,maybe out of the water or even an old add showing the boat may have helped out a bit. So don't get mad if we question the boat, we're not the Sea Craft cops, but just a bunch of guys keeping a legend alive.

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

Right, It looks like it's a SeaCraft, just one that no one has seen before. Maybe It's been modified. Looking at the gunnel cap towards the back of the boat with the railing, I've never seen anything like that. Also looking down at the deck, usually you would see an engine box attached to the transom. It has twin IO's right? not a straight inboard? It looks like you have a experimental model or a heavily modified one. You should get some more pictures up so we can see more.

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

Its a SeaCraft, one of the late 27's from the Mosely era although it is from the potter years IE one of the last 27's while both Moesly and Potter were onboard, there were different configs aft for the power combo chosen. Granted there were only a handful built and Ed may very well have the only one set up like this.

It is a sharp boat and looks like a great deal.

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

The boat is shrinked wraped so I can't take any pictures. But If it does not rain to hard I will take some pictures of the hull. I talked to the father of the person that own the black 27' last night and him & his son are going to stop by this weekend to take a look at my 27'. Any one is welcome to take a look I live in orleans on the cape. just let me know and you are welcome to crawl all over my Seacraft. Thanks, Ed

27' seacraft-need advice on I/O diesel conversion
 

I just came back from looking at Capeds boat, his hull is the same as mine, actually it confirmed that my rear transom was cut flat to make it an inboard (Rather than make a pocket). The bottom rear of my hull has about an 18-20" flat, as opposed to the 4" flat where the "V" usually comes together. My mechanic is worried about the I/O installation and having good water coming back without the
"V". Anyone have an opinion, I figured if anyone knew the answer, you guy's might. I have a choice to "V" it off, install the jackshaft I/O the way it is, or keep it an inboard. From an engineering standpoint, I don't think it will make a difference having a larger than normal flat, maybe I will lose a little speed, but I am not sure. I want to make it an I/O for trailer-ability, better fuel economy, manueverability and better cruising speed.

Thanks

Re: 27' seacraft-need advice on I/O diesel convers
 

In my experience, the wider the "pad" - the faster/higher the boat will run. The pad will make the boat more stable at speed. If anything, I believe that the pad will give "cleaner" water for the prop to spin in. I wish my 25' Seafari had some kind of pad on it- might keep it from listing. Maybe this winter....Again, just my experience & opinion- :rolleyes:

Re: 27' seacraft-need advice on I/O diesel convers
 

I agree with Doug, most go-fasts these days have some kind of pad on the aft bottom of the "V". Apparently this will help the boat plane better, be faster out of the hole and should work great with the jackshaft.

Re: 72 27' seacraft
 

I was thinking of taking a trip to Alabama to see a Seacraft listed on boattrader.com.... I'd much rather buy one in my own back yard...

Please give me a call. I'm in Orleans every day.

Thanks,

Re: 27' seacraft-need advice on I/O diesel convers
 

Thanks for the input, I agree with you and Doug, I may go for it. The transon was checked today, We were sure we wold have to re-do it, but it is very solid, a little damp, but not rotted. It is 2.75" thick, it will have to be trimmed down on the inside to 2.25". The glass on the outside of the lower transom is 1/2" thick !!! It is amazing how much glass was used on that hull, no wonder it is so heavy. Theoritcally it may pound if I launch it hard, but I have only been able to do that once in 3 years, and the landing was not that bad.

Thanks,

Dan

Re: 27' seacraft-need advice on I/O diesel convers
 

Seacraft POUND? You are a funny guy. You should enter that comic show on TV. :D :D :D

I say go for it. That 27cc with that pilot house is a cool boat. Be shure to take pics of the install and post em. Good luck.

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari
 

Spring sale, I have too many Seacrafts. I will let this boat go for $8500 :(

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari
 

This boat use to to sit in a slip in Rock Harbor in Orleans. It is indeed a 27' Seacraft. The tower on the boat came off of friends 26' Lyman Offshore.

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari
 

Capeed, about how heavy is this boat?

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari
 

It is about 8000 lbs.

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - new low price
 

I have just dropped the price to $7000
If interested call me at 508-240-9265.

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - SOLD
 

THE BOAT IS SOLD !

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - SOLD
 

Congrats!! Hard to sell a boat these days.

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - SOLD
 

The boat is back up for sale in my neigborhood. I had to stop and check it out. The thing is an absolute BEAST!

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - SOLD
 

Did the do anything to the boat? did they clean it up and get it running and how much do they want for it. That boat was one of the best sea boats for it's size I was ever in.

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - SOLD
 

capeed,
I am not sure what has/had been done. The boat is just off the side of Ridgevale Rd in Chatham. I just stoppend in for a look see. It is for sale with a house (I dont know how much) or for sale on its own for 15K. It is a huge boat but then again I am used to the 20SF.
Cheers

See ya, Ken

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - SOLD
 

That is a perfect photo the way my boat looked when I purchased the boat. Finally I know what model that boat was. I wonder how many 27' he made that style. :D

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - SOLD
 

NoBones, Nice job ... I can tell you've been cruising the Moesly site!

Capseed, I know very little about the SeaVilla, other than what Trayder said ... not too many built. I'll try to find out more info for you.

Re: 72 27' seacraft Seafari - SOLD
 

Thank You ! I would just like to know a little more about the boat.

i have one of these seacraft
 

i just bought a 1972 27ft seacraft that looks just like the one with the tuna tower but mine has twin 165 mercruisers inline sixes

Welcome aboard waterhazerd. Congratulations! Kudos for searching through the olde threads. And thanks for reviving a 4 year old thread. It's always interesting to see how we've grown. Hope you can post some pictures to make NoBones sweat a little this winter;) as his 27 rescue resumes. Tell us about it...

If this is the boat that was at Rock Harbor In Orleans for several years and then was tucked in by the old Chatham crest inn for the last few years I have seen it many times and it definately a Seacraft
