Your still working on that thing? I would have guessed after all the cheap Katrina parts running around you would have the best boat in the fleet! Look at the bright side at least you know what your bottom looks like ;-)

I got mine salvage after Katrina and Gratis is still, over a year later, just a slow motorboat.

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.Mike M From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: catalina27-talk: IB verses ObDate: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:48:02 -0600 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!
