Happy with my 27' ExpressI had an old Trojan Sea Voyager that had twin engines and a full cabin with a fly bridge. The keel gave up on me as it could not take the pounding of the Chesapeake Bay any more. So I put it on land and was distraght as to what I would do now.
The local fire department had a 27' Concorde on the side of the fire house that had been donated by a doctor that could not use it any more and one day at the hardware store I asked my nephew, a fireman, what they wanted for the Concorde. He said make me an offer, which I did.The result was buying the Concord for $800.00. Since I purchased it in June I have done about $3,500.00 work on it and cleaned it up. It has a single 7.4L Crusader 350 in it.In the use I have made of it so far I could't be happier.The Concorde rides well and the speed is great. The appointments and lay out work very well for me. The only draw back is using the single engine to back into the slip. It has a fairly big rudder on it but with the torque of the single engine it will only back straight or to port. Backing to starboard is impossible.
I hope it will keep me satisfied this fall in the rock season. That will be the test for it. |
