You're doin' way better than me. I got mine salvage after Katrina and Gratis is
still, over a year later, just a slow motorboat.

Mine is slow because when I bought it I paid alittle over $1K it had not
sailes in over 10 years and to top that I was told I would not be able to get
her to move in under 2 -3 monts! Being the person I am I could not let a
challenge like that go I had her out n the bay in 2weeks and 3 days. Since
there were so many repairs I have not had a chance to haul her out yet but hope
to soon. Since I have been taking her out on the bay on a regular bassis she
has risen almost 3" in the water from loosing all the crud that was on the
bottom. This is my second C27 Hull # 68 it is a 71 dinette model My first was a
73 traditional with Atomic 4 and that was back in the 80's. Since ther is so
much work still needs to be done I realy could not say witch is better but I
sure got my bang for the buck.

You may be a little "slicker" w/out the prop, shaft and strut...but what
about all that weight hanging way out back.
Back in the day when I had a Soverel 33 O/B, I had a buddy who bought a
Soverel 33 I/B.
We raced with/against one another for 2 seasons. I won some, he won some.
We both had good sails, good crew and clean bottoms.
But there was this nagging "argument" at the bar about O/B vs I/B.
During one series we decided to swap boats, just to put the "argument" to
rest.
He won 2 races...sailing my boat, I won 2 races sailing his boat.
The fifth race was not sailed due to weather.
We were tied for 2nd (that damned J-33 w/ the sailmaker driving), and the
"argument" rages on!
