I love my MA. That hull has tons of potential. My neighbor has a SF but he prefers fishing on my MA because of how high the gunnels are.

Re: 27 project

Those 4LH series diesels were by some accounts the best small mechanical diesels ever made. Sadly, Yanmar no longer produces them due to emissions restrictions. I had a single 4LH-STE in my Fortier...

Re: stringer question

Some of the 20's were built with foam filled "box stringers". My 78' Master Angler is an example of such design.

I made a few cuts in the stringers and checked the foam; which ended up being...

Re: Intersting 27 in Florida

Probably very economical with decent performance. I had a GRady 25 with twin Cummins Mercruiser 1.7 I/O's (120 HP) and the boat ran terrifically and economically.
