I’m a new Ericson 27user in Mobile at Turner marina looking for other Ericson owners in the area. Especially a 27.

Hi Mark, sorry about the delay. For some reason my iPad wouldn’t let me type in the reply box. It seems ok now.
I bought my 1971 E27 at Orange Beach a few weeks ago. I am going to move it up to Demopolis from Turner Marine in Mobile to do my yard work. I know it is a project boat before I bought it. This is my third project boat. My last one was an Islander 32 but I lost her in hurricane Ian last fall.
I am going to restore this boat As best I can. I need to find out first a recommendation for a transport company around Mobile to truck it up to Demopolis sometime around May to the haul out yard at Kingfisher Bay.
I don’t want to drive it up. Ibe done the trip a couple of times and I’ve had open heart surgery in Jan. The 15 hp 4 stroke isn’t running and I haven’t been able to find anyone to work on it yet on the boat. The Honda mech will not work on it unless I take it off the boat. So trucking it is.
I also have a 8’ walker bay dinghy and oars plus a few other things from my islander. Is there a place on here that I can post things for sale and I can look for things to buy or trade?
I’m also looking for any people in Mobile bay that have a 27 that I can look at the interior and how they have done things. I am 76, retired so I have plenty of time for this project and I live on board.
My name is Harry Fischer and I’m docked at Turner Marine at Dog river. I can be reached directly at ericson27@duck.com
