Fred - good luck! ive been seeing that thing on craiglist, would be sweet if you could work out a trade. trailerable? sure, but not with the kia... so much for that! keep us posted!

The flybridge 27' is great. It is 9'6" beam, however, (114", and so requires an oversize load permit. Here is the application form. Blanket oversizr load permit
The year-long multi-use permit for oversize not to exceed 12' wide and 13'6" height is $20. Single trip permits are $5.
The year-long multi-use permit for oversize not to exceed 14' wide and 14'6" height is $150. Single trip permits are $15.

So yeah, it's trailerable.

FD I would go with you but i will not be home till friday.
I also saw that on craigslist. looks like an awesome boat. because of the width it is trailerable, but you would certainly need a substantial towing vehicle!
could be a very serious fishing boat!

I have a 27, I trailer it all the time. I tow it with a 3/4 Ton Diesel Suburban with no trouble. My Flybridge is long gone, but I do have a diesel, so the weight is about the same. I love the 27 Hull, I was not crazy over the rear layout of the 27 in regards to Freeboard (Because of the I/O). With twin outboards, you may be able to lower the rear floor, the front cabin was pretty good.

Good Luck,

Dan

Thanks all for your input..
Matt-cancelled due to rain..but recd call from owner this am..said he did a sea trial for another interested party and had some engine trouble..and other issues not previously known..been calling around for wet slips..$9.00 month per foot cheapest I could find. Might have to hold off for now but would be a great boat for someone else with the cash to fix it up and a safe means for transport. Ben your right my Sorento wont work. :(

I know how you feel, not that my wife would have let me have it, but I missed a 20' SeaCraft just 10 miles away by a day or two.....cheap.
