Hello! The jibs are hank on. I actually just took them out yesterday to take photos and measurements. They are still available.

Wow! Thats a lot of data. Thank you so much. They have a lot of variation and nothing that seems to be a perfect fit for the Ericson 27, but after looking at everything I think $600/ea or $2k for all 5 would be pretty fair. Always open to negotiation.

I would like to sell them all as a package, but if I was gonna split them up then I'd say $600 for the main.

Hello! I was almost an Ericson 27 owner, until the marina informed me that there was a balance due on the storage of the boat and now I'm being ghosted by the seller. Gotta love people some time. ANYWAYS, I took delivery of the sails for the boat which he had stored at his home that I have no...

All the manufacturers have some kind of High Torque model, the just all call them something different. Yamaha has Hi-Thrust Mercury has Command Thrust Honda has Power Thrust. Gotta love marketing departments and their corny names. I'm gonna design an engine and call my high torque model "hull...

That is awesome!!

It's like that with the Hondas too. The 15 and 20 hp engines are both the same 350cc twin, and the 8-9.9 hps are 225cc twins. There's only like a 10lb difference to get more displacement, and I've always been taught there's no replacement for displacement

I'm a little shocked that a little 8hp would be enough. There's a couple 18' sailing boats that a company used to train, and they both have 9.9s on them.

If extra long is a must, then it's looking like I'm getting the 15hp

Hey gentleman and ladies! Buying my Ericson 27, and it's coming without an outboard. The owner of the local marine shop is telling me to go with an extra long (25") shaft for sailboats, but the transom seems to sit super low already. Looks like I can almost get away with a short! I'm sure...

I avoid Facebook like the plague! I re-created my profile a bit ago just to use messenger, and I got banned almost immediately. They must have thought I was a bot since I didn't have any posts or friends

Hello fellow sailors! I wanted to introduce myself to the community and say hello! I put money down on an Ericson 27 and I'm excited to sail her home next weekend from Kenosha to her new home in Hammond. Hopefully I'll see some of you out there!
