I looked over both these boats and I can see that the flybridge (1969) is built much better than the 1970's seavilla. I have seen a local 27 master angler in my local waters and have not been able to contact him for his take on these hulls. Are these 27's the "red headed step child" of the seacraft lineup?

Carla Mosely (and Carl + Jeanne Mosely) endorsement is gospel. I would question those sources since there were only 38 built before tracker's run of 27 center consoles in the 80's (even then I doubt many were built by tracker). hard to get any reputation from around 50 boats. Maybe those people are confusing some 23's that leaked around the scuppers and sank at the dock or the 23 walkaround that fipped when pulling in a giant tuna???
