I agree, $15K can buy you a lot more boat than
27ft. in today's used boat market...some old Bristols and or Pearsons in the 29
to 32 foot range?can be had for this much...but buyer beware as to the
condition of these...maybe the T27 in perfect shape is what you'd be better off
with.

Good luck, enjoy the journey.

Subject: Re: [T27Owners] Your impression
of the T27?
I love my 74 T 27 but in my opinion $15K is a little
on the high side
for a 1978. Of course a T27 in
really good shape could certainly be worth
that much
or more so there is a judgment call here. What I am
saying is
that 1978 is fairly old and for that money
You may find a more modern
design (technology and
computer designed hulls have come a long way . (I
am
an engineer)
As I write this I feel disloyal to my classic but
It
is my honest opinion which is what you are asking for.
Perhaps
asking this same question outside the T27
world may give you another
unbiased opinion.
