OK guys on to the next topic. Following the title chain, sorry but, it isn't going to happen. The owner before me got the boat from someone who owed him money at his marina in Jupiter. He then took the boat from Florida to North Carolina, where you do not need to title a boat to register it. I actually brought it home from Hatteras NC one summer after fishing up there and he just wrote me a notarized letter so I could get a title back in Florida.
Lastly, A JUPITER? OH!!!! YOUR KILLING ME!!!!!!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANY OF THE JUPITER BOATS RUN WITH MINE!!!
Later,
Richard

I could be tempted to make this boat a perfect dream. I got to meet richard garlington a few times even before he sold his company to landeweres. He was a class act. And if he gave you the info on this hull then it is true. I remember him saying he never made any money in the boat building business until he started yacht surveying after selling. I been there also.
If anyone does go after the history of this boat and they are at a loss in hatteras. I still have more then a few local friends alive down there and I am usually there a few times fishing every year. I might have even seen this boat down there and not known it was a moesly sea craft many years ago. Many years ago a local from south jersey bought a 27 black fin OB CC that was so unique like this boat.{ 8 ft beam!! Not the typical wide bertram looking blackfin} Very similar. It was narrow and had two old johnsons on it. It had about as much gunnel height on it as my sons very custom moesly sea craft 20. The guy that owned that boat who I still see and fish occasionally with kicks his self in the arse for ever selling that rarity. He has a twin diesel boat now but wished he kept that narrow 27 fter. Hope you dont end up regretting selling? Good luck on the sale I hope. So I am not tempted. If anyone does want to buy it and close the transom and put a bracket on it. It could be done if the boats design is factored in and the engine choice or choices is light.
