VERY RARE CSC - 27 Foot - Super Fisherman

[kerneltugboat]

Bigfluke,

If it helps, on my 1969 27' the height of my outer riser is 1.75" and the inner ones is 1.75" the center ones are only 1" because my hull was modified and I have a 24" flat. I measured my dad's 23', his outer ones are 2.5" and the inner ones are 1.5". I would be curious if the 1986 hull is the same in that regard.

Good Luck,

Dan

I just do not know. I may pull the boat this weekend, just to see. Curiousity is peaked.

I will measure mine tomorrow when I get to the shop. I have a CSY 27', 1986.

Blackfin,
I did buy the SeaCraft 25' in Massachusetts that wss converted to a center console by a commercial fisherman. He really knew what he was doing: removing the foredeck cabin and building a fishbox from the footwell to the forward end of the v-berth inner liner shifted the lcg forward and kept the vcg as low as possible. From what I understand the fishbox was always full of ice or fish so his set up is much as Moesly envisioned with his ballasting system. He also moved the helm aft a bit which is a lot more comfortable then the original helm about 2' more forward. With the big block sterndrive giving it adequate stern weight, it runs much better than the other two SeaCraft 25s I have that were originally rigged with a smal block sterndrive and the other that I retrofitted with a single large outboard on a porta-bracket. Excellent seakeeping out to about 22 knots. Above that speed needs to be driven very attentively and with constant tab adjustment to keep upright in rough water or it will loll.

Bigfluke,
Thanks for the report...As you can guess I'm still kicking myself for not making an offer. It looked like a solid conversion...best of luck, Steve

Someone asked if bottom painted. Answer is...yes. Black.

Let me know if any other questions.

[hitsgang]

Still for sale.

Also looking for a Bill from CT that called me. Wanted to follow up but cant find your number. Shoot me an e-mail if still interested.

Is the boat in project mode or is it turn key.

Thanks

[hitsgang]

Turned the key and fished on the boat yesterday. Seriously, I am not exactly sure what you mean by that. There are projects to be done as with any classic seacraft. Boat was not completely rebuilt if that is what you were asking. If it were price would have to be much higher. Boat runs good and has had recent upgrades, cosmetic, electrical etc. as described. Call me if you want to discuss anything in further detail and I will try to answer all. Easier in conversation than on post.

Thanks

Gere
