Can anyone comment as to the ride of the original seamaster 27 with inboards or outdrive models, compared to the bracketed outboard conversion. Is the 27 a much better running boat than the 23 seacrafts. If I could find a buyer for my seacraft 23 Savage, this 27 would be coming home.

I can , I own a Moesley SeaMaster 27. Yes it rides better than the 23. It is heavy but managable, the hulldesign "Likes" the weight, same with the Moesley 21.
I am usually skippering the boat, so i am on the bridge most of the time, however everyone tells me that in the cockpit that the ride is very smooth. My wife and child were in the V birth watching movies on a ride offshore one day in 5-6', I asked them if they got slammed around and they said no, that it was a little bumpy.
It gets up on plane much easier than you would expect, and it planes at suprising low speed. And from what I am told when buddys pilot their boats next to me, that the hulls disposition looks really nice.
I traded one of my 21 for this boat and I Have no regrets.
It feels and handles like a much bigger boat, you could potentially charter 6 packs out of this craft. Nice rooom in the cockpit and below. The glass in the hull & transom is very , very thick.
Mine is an I/O Mercruiser Bravo 7.4 , with a steel trailer.
My 2001 Suburban with 220,000 miles pulls it well. So towing is not an issue.
If I could sell my 27, I would prefer the 27 with twin Outboards on the bracket. I do not like I/Os.
I cant believe this boat is not sold yet. Hell I may end up with two, it's possible, I had 2 Moesley 21s at one time......
