back at the 1st Anclote gathering, Carl said the 27' SeaVette had a "wide" beam. He revealed that the first three prototypes were made for the CIA, and all were equipped with twin big block Mercruiser stern-drives. The 3 prototypes were "all equipped differently", although he didn't specify what that meant. When I asked Carl directly if he had ever built any other 27' SeaVettes after the 3 prototypes, either for the CIA or any other agency, he said he "still can't talk about that".

I do know where one sank in 1970, in West Africa.
