SeaCraft did make a 27' CC with a 10' beam. Over 20 of these hulls were made in '84, '85, and '87. (None in 1986) Tracker did not take that hull mold when they bought SeaCraft. Last I heard, that hull mold was still in Tampa, about 8 or 9 years ago.

It was offered with a single 340 hp gas 454ci inboard; or twin Mercruiser 200 hp 305ci gas inboards or 260 hp 350ci inboards; or twin outboards; or twin 185 or 235 hp OMC Seadrives; or twin 190 hp Volvo-Penta sterndrives. The OMC SeaDrive configuration was the most common, with nearly half being rigged this way.

I have seen single IB and twin IB, twin sterndrive and twin Seadrive examples of this boat. I never sold nor saw an outboard model, although the Royal Bahamian Defense Force bought three of them in early 1985, all rigged with twin Mercury 275hp 3.4L V6 outboards.

They also custom made one,(just one), 1985 model with twin 165 hp Volvo diesel IB's that I sold in late '84 to a doctor from Palm Beach Gardens, who kept it on Pelican Island in the Isles of Capri by Marco Island. Although a center console, it also had a small cuddy cabin, which only a few had. He also had a full tuna tower put on it. Last time I was fishing there in '06 he still had it.
