How do you get the mast up/down? Don On Dec 7, 2007, at 7:54 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Or you can purchased a late model C-27 and a new trailer for less than the cost of a used C-270 alone. I purchased my 1988 C-27 Wing keel and tiller model with a new Mercury 9.9 4 stroke for $10500 last year. The motor alone was worth $2000. I put in on a brand new 10000 lbs., dual axle Trail-Rite trailer made specifically for the C-27 for around $7000. The only things I gave up are a walk through, wheel steering and diesel inboard. However, with the outboard, I have the whole engine compartment for storage and boat is lighter for trailering. I pull the boat with a 2005 Nissan Titan 4X4 Crew cab with no problem.
