Sea Wolf, MdR I'm going out on this Ericson 27 tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1 PM with one of the owners, Bob. Room for another if anyone wants to come. From Marina del Rey. My phone 909-538-1524

Service for Tim Mitchell Thanks for posting this Matt. We too much take for granted these officers who risk their lives for us sailors each day.

Sea Wolf Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate all their replies. However, it was on another forum (I wasn't aware there was a forum for Southern California). I might have a more responsive reply here. I'm asking about this particular boat and its owners.

I have the opportunity to get a NON-EQUITY SHARE in an Ericson 27 in Marina del Rey. I met one of the partners, Bob, who seemed to be a good guy but one can't be too careful in this kind of deal. I was wondering if anyone here knows these guys and can comment on them (in a private message of...

Maybe you recall that a couple months ago I asked about an 1971 Ericson 27 in Long Beach that was on sail on eBay. I won the auction at about $850. Then two experienced Ericson sailors, recruited on this board, took me for a test sail and convinced me I should reject the boat and get my money...

share Thanks. Good idea. I know there are local (Los Angeles area) Ericson owners on this board and thought it likely that they would recognize the boat.

So no one knows the guys who own Sea Wolf out of Marina del Rey? So no one knows the guys who own Sea Wolf out of Marina del Rey?

Hey Eriicson friends: You may recall I asked opinions about an Ericson 27 I considered purchasing on eBay. After an inspection and test sail by two experienced Ericson sailors from this board, I decided NOT to buy. Now I have the opportunity to get a SHARE in an Ericson 27 in Marina del Rey. I...

fixing up a bargain boat I appreciate your input and you are absolutely correct that I could sail her as she is then part her out and make money on the deal. For me, that's not the right solution; I'm an old guy and don't want to spend time working on the boat or parting her out. I've got a...

to buy or not to buy that is the question Ericson friends, I've decided NOT to buy the boat. It's true I thought I got a good deal but the opinions of the two board members who sailed with me on Sunday and the many responses on the board convinced me that this old girl needed more work than I...

Ericson 27 in good condition cost Captain Don, I found three for sale in southern Cal: $5,500, $5,750, $15,500. Around the country prices range from $2,900 (RI), $11,250 (TN), $6000 (SC) $4800 (MD) The $5,500 and $5,750 look like they're in very good shape. I don't think it will cost $4500...

What to do with Ericson 27? Thanks again for the varied advice. I'm having the bottom looked at tomorrow by a bottom cleaner. I'll add that to my decision base.

Conflicted. Thanks for the varied advice. I'm conflicted. I can get my $745 back but I do like the boat. Installing life-lines is really a big project though. Also I'm having trouble finding a bottom cleaner and I would like to know what the bottom looks like. All the "big guys" I called are...

Test sail Ericson friends, I went on a test sail with two kindly and highly experienced sailors (both users of this board but I would not use their names without permission). I thought the sail went well, except for the massive bottom growth that affect the speed and the steering. But both of...

After seeing lifelines on another Ericson 25-2, I have to retract this statement. Most lifelines on small boats are only about a foot high. Those I saw today were two feet, which makes them much more functional.
