Hi, I have looked over 15 boats since I started looking for a 27' sailboat. I have finally narrowed it down to 2 boats. a 1978 E27 in GREAT shape and an 1987 O'day 272LE
They are both the same price and this being my first sailboat I am having a hard time deciding. The E27 has a wheel and a yanmar 8hp with a 2 blade prop and has been very well cared for but of course the year of the O'day 272LE also wheel and westerbeke 10Hp has lured me into buying it.
Can some one advice me on the advantages or desavantages of getting either one.?
Any info is GREATLY appreciated.
I m planning on sailing on the Boston Mass area...
