27cc value?

Rlbol · #1 09-19-2012, 09:43 AM

I have found a 27cc for sale. It doesn't look like I am going to be able to do anything with it. It seems like a pretty good deal on a very rare boat. I am not selling it and have nothing to do with it, just thought it should go to a Seacraft person. I don't want to upset or offend anyone from this website so if you want information on it email me while I wait to hear if it is ok to pot here.

Is this the one up near Ken, north of Titusville?

It is on the west coast north of Tampa
I am not sure of the exact town. So what is the deal with the one in Titusville?

It belongs to a friend of Ken's. (NoBones) A bunch of us looked at it during the gathering with Gillie at area 442. The owner was off fishing in the caribbean at the time. Send a PM to Ken if you want more info on it. Denny

I'd like to hear or see more about the 27cc. I'm about 45 minutes south of Tampa and may be interested.

I would be very interested to know more. I might sell my 23, depending what happens with insurance claim, and I would LOVE to rebuild a 27'

Never mind, I found it.

I looked briefly but could not find any specs on this model, any idea?

It's one of these: http://www.moeslyseacraft.com/seacraft-raceboats.html. 27' long with an 8' beam and shaped like a knife! Ken said it will run off and leave a bigger Contender with 2X the power in 4' seas! Deadrise looked to be similar to a 25 Seafari (24.5 degrees), but only 2 panels on each side. (The outer panel would be out of the water anyway at racing speeds!) I think CSC member Steve (Flying Time) of Mathews Yacht Design also has one and can probably tell you a lot more about it.

We tried to talk Sandy into buying it . . . he was sort of foaming at the mouth and climbing all over it! GFS should have a bunch some pictures of it. A few were posted in this thread: http://www.classicseacraft.com/commu...ad.php?t=24235

Hey Bushwacker, Im not so sure its on of those race boats

its a 1986 hull.

Mainly Im wondering about the beam/displacement

found this old listing for same boat (less enclosed transom)

its 9/.5 beam and about 5,000 pounds (sounds a little optimistically light to me

)

Shine, that's the same basic hull as the 27' Seamaster. Much more beam than the race boats, less deadrise and heavily built to handle the cabin and flybridge, originally powered by a couple of I/O's. In the late 70's, Potter built a Savage-type "Master Angler" model on that same hull with a large cuddy and a leaning post with T-top. http://www.classicseacraft.com/MA27.htm It's listed as about 7000 lbs with an inboard and much more superstructure than a simple CC, so I'd say 5000 lbs would be about right for a stripped outboard CC version. CSC member Todds Lures has a partially restored 27' Master Angler he's been trying to sell for quite a while, set up for outboards on a bracket. Should be able to find posts on it under his name in the For Sale section. Seacraft Industries evidently built an open CC model on the same hull during the 80's like the one you show.

The ex-race boats I sent the link to are like the one up by Ken and are totally different animals. The boat up by Ken is laid out as a simple CC with a flat deck with a couple of fish boxes under the deck. Had a nice T-top, but looked like it had been used pretty hard. I think it could stand a lot of your TLC! Denny
