No time to sail The reason I am selling is beacuse I don't really have any time to sail anymore. I am too busy with my new job. I have only taken the boat out about 6 times this summer so far, So perhaps someone else can enjoy the boat. Hey thanks for the compliment about the dodger...

HI, I am finally parting away with my E27- It is up for sale and the price includes winter storage (Hingham, MA) and spring launch. Boat is in the water until Mid to end OCT/06 and it is in sail away condition! For details, pictures, complete listing and price here is the URL to my ad...

Well I worked on this all day, and I think I got it fixed, I replaced the 2 front engine mounts and aligned the engine to the best of my ability. It had the same gap all around the flanges. now it seems to run pretty smoothly for the most but i find it strange that at 1,600 RPMs it ratles but...

I checked both flanges and the one on the shaft side is wobbly, it will not line up perfectly to the one on the engine side and when It rotates it will wobble a bit, now the boat is in the water if I take the flange out of the prop-shaft can I just take that to the machine shop? or do i need to...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with their engine coupler? I need to align my engine and I think the coupler is bent. I took all 4 screws out on the coupler and both sides now don't align perfectly straight as it should. It seems the coupler on the prop-shaft is the problem it...

Can you please post which brand did you use or product? I went to home depot but they told me they don't have vinyl floor sealer, only grout or tile sealer. Thanks!

Hi, Thank you for the warning I was not aware of the shrinkwrap/Paint problem. I will keep that in mind. However I have never shrinkwrapped it before. Well good luck with your case..!

She is all painted..! Well I just finished painting the hull, I used Interlux brightside and I have to say the results have surpassed my expectations. I painted it using the roll and tip technique, although I found that using just the brush would give me a better result. I did a trial run on...

Hi Ryan Thank you for the post. I will keep an eye on the rudder. The boat is only in for 6 months, I will check next haul out and possibly look into re-doing it if there are any problems. It seemed so solid with the resin though.

When i got to the bare fiberglass I found the cracks were on the gelcoat and luckely there were no blisters, delamination, or structural demage. I just sanded it with 150 grit to smooth it out and prepare the surface to be re-glassed over. Then I used a combination of 100 and 150 grit in between...

Fixed rudder cracks Well I just finished repairing my rudder. I am posting what i did just in case anyone is interested or need to do this process. 1- I removed all the paint and sanded it to the bear fiber glass - very messy job..! 2- drilled 2 holes at the bottom of the rudder to drain...

removing name I just renamed my boat ( I had de-naming ceremony and will have re-maing ceremony as well- recommended :egrin: ) and I used a heat gun which I purchased for $15 at Lowe's it came out very easy and used lacquer thinner to remove the glue. E-27 Tipsea. (ex- Cloud Croft)

I have a chronic problem with the rub rail leaving streak marks on the hull. My hull is flag blue (very dark blue) just repainted it this past weekend and the rubrail is white. I get these unsightly white streaks coming down the side of the hull everytime it rains, I wonder if there is a...

Nice Looking boat ! Congrats .....! :)

Is Nylon also marelon? is there a difference? Today I had to place an order for a new fitting to replace my bronze depth sounder transducer thru-hull and they no longer have the bronze available at least not for a few weeks, they told me they now use a reinforce nylon fitting with a very good...
