[Carlabear]

We r thinking about buying a 2017 27 xs. Found it in fla for sell by owner.Moters have only 144 hrs and twin 200 yamis and boat has many options. What do you think if the cape horn boats. Good and bad. Have always heard they we good boats.

I used to own a 21 footer. Heavy and built like a tank. I can tear up an anvil but couldn't hurt that boat!

There's a long discussion on The Hull Truth about Cape Horns, but it's from 2013 so things might be completely different now.

I have. 2002 22’ Bay Cape Horn, it’s a tank, it will outlast me and probably my children. I added a radio in the console, cutting the hole took 3 blades, the fiberglass was approx 3/8 to 1/2” thick. Cape Horns have gotten better since in my opinion. My boat is super strong but also utilitarian, not fancy or optioned out. The newer ones keep the built like a tank construction but they add more options and features. Also here that for the length, they are much bigger than a lot of other boat makes.

Went on a charter on a 31 with twin 300’s, I think was the size. On the way in the wind had kicked up and we were running in 3-4 footers. Captain had the autopilot on and kicked back in his captains chair. We were running 45-50mph. Best riding boat I have ever been on.
