What do you guys know about these

[THEFERMANATOR]

I'm with spare, that thing looks like a nightmare to do maintence on. And 22MPH at 3400 would make that thing a hog to feed. I see it is a pretty flat hull in the back which would make it solid at anchor and the drift, but will not be a smooth ride in the snot. And the only stuff I could find on the WHALER board said it is the dog of the WHALER fleet, and a real gas hog. If your looking for a boat in that size range with twin screws, look at a BLACKFIN. They were built by employess of BERTRAM who worked on the 28, but decided to fix all of it's shortcomings.

That is what I needed to know from a couple of guys I needed to hear from. A buddy sent me the link.
Thanks
Much appreciated, the hunt continues

I love the looks of her. I see one up close every time I go fishing at the Suwannee. Bracketed with twin 250 OX66's. I was just commenting to my friend Bruce this past weekend that I liked the looks of it as it trolled by us a half dozen times. I was somewhat disappointed when I read what Spare and Ferm thought of it. It is just real big and I figured being a Whaler and Big it would crush the waves. Nice smirk like the classic Whalers too. Oh well. I've been wrong before.

Theres quite a few different 27 WHALERS, and I believe this model was only offered as a straight inboard. The bracketed hulls were a deep V hull to the stern from what I found doing a quick search, and is a much more desireable hull. Same length and beam, but quite a bit different below the waterline. They reffered to this model as the 27 full cabin over at continuouswave.
