'92 is an interesting number for them to use. IC27/270A history doesn't start until C270 hull #3 a '93. The drawings I have access to range from August of '92 to July of '93 but '92 could be the year the molds were created and '93 the first production. #3 might be that first production boat.

I thought there were about 7000 hulls produced. As per Catalina web site hull 6000 was built in 1985 and the 270 replaced the 27 in 1992. --- In [email protected] <mailto:IC27A%40yahoogroups.com> , "Peter A.
