Hello all--I'm considering considering a 1970 27' Express, and I thought I "ask the experts" what they thought of this model. It's in pretty decent condition, no major issues that I can tell yet. Twin 318's
I'm out here on Lake Erie, and the boat's been a freshwater boat since new. There isn't a lot of Uniflite's out here, actually they're pretty rare, but I'm well aware of their reputation of build quality. The boat is still on the hard, so I haven't had an opportunity to give it a sea trail. I want to do some light to medium-duty great lakes cruising with it. Lake Erie has a mean reputation for a short, steep chop and I'm curious how this boat might handle this.. The twin Chrysler's seem like a bit much for this boat, so I image it's pretty fast. I'm not really interested in speed so much, but GPH is a concern. Can this thing be cruised at say 15-20 knots with some relative economy? Any other thoughts, perceptions, "look-out-for's", ideas would be appreciated. Thnaks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
