Can anyone comment as to the ride of the original seamaster 27 with inboards or outdrive models, compared to the bracketed outboard conversion. Is the 27 a much better running boat than the 23 seacrafts. If I could find a buyer for my seacraft 23 Savage, this 27 would be coming home.

Carl designed the boat to be 30ft long in his original
drawings. I received his blessing on the bracket of which
I plan to do with Hermco..

Go for it!!

I can , I own a Moesley SeaMaster 27. Yes it rides better than the 23. It is heavy but managable, the hulldesign "Likes" the weight, same with the Moesley 21.
I am usually skippering the boat, so i am on the bridge most of the time, however everyone tells me that in the cockpit that the ride is very smooth. My wife and child were in the V birth watching movies on a ride offshore one day in 5-6', I asked them if they got slammed around and they said no, that it was a little bumpy.
It gets up on plane much easier than you would expect, and it planes at suprising low speed. And from what I am told when buddys pilot their boats next to me, that the hulls disposition looks really nice.
I traded one of my 21 for this boat and I Have no regrets.
It feels and handles like a much bigger boat, you could potentially charter 6 packs out of this craft. Nice rooom in the cockpit and below. The glass in the hull & transom is very , very thick.
Mine is an I/O Mercruiser Bravo 7.4 , with a steel trailer.
My 2001 Suburban with 220,000 miles pulls it well. So towing is not an issue.
If I could sell my 27, I would prefer the 27 with twin Outboards on the bracket. I do not like I/Os.
I cant believe this boat is not sold yet. Hell I may end up with two, it's possible, I had 2 Moesley 21s at one time......

I have driven the 27' SeaMaster with twin 165 hp Mercruisers, and ridden in a 27' SeaVilla with twin Yamaha 220 hp OB. The 27' SeaVilla OB boat belonged to the Royal Bahamian Defense Force, and was used for drug interdiction. It had been converted from a single sterndrive to transom-mounted outboards, and had a top speed of about 47 or so.

Both had astonishing rides, like being on a boat half-again their size. The 27' actually rides better that the 36' Express by Tiara Pursuit.

Shortly after I got to take the 27' sterndrive out fishing with the owner, it sank at the dock in my marina. It was called "Raven", and was for sale for only $500 for 10+ years before it found a home.

They say that your memory is the second thing to go! LOL I'm just wondering if it would fit under my lean to. My Carolina Classic is 13'4" so it shouldn't be a problem.

Steve, My 27 is sitting on an old homemade mobile home
trailer frame that came with the boat. I put four new
14.5 inch tires on it to get her home. I would say that
the Continental that Carl's boat is on sits alot lower!

See ya, Ken
