Any way a guy I know with that boat had twin carb'd 225 Johnson's on a whalerdrive got low 40's max WOT, it cruised in the mid - upper 20's, and burned about 1 gallon per mile.

All hulls of this dimension and weight are prone to this type of fuel usage. Just the nature of boats this size. I would say at least seatrail the boat. Have them fill the tanks to the top. Run the boat and use a GPS to track your travel. and refill the boat upon return. These 27's are great boats but, because of the size and fuel use they sit for sale for LONG periods of time. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

Those HPDI's will sip fuel compared to some old 225 carb Johnson's...The boat has some nice features, super leaningpost, hardtop with gold rodholders and marlintower. The eisenglass looked pretty good...Those HPDI's have very few hours too. They are great boats and can go virtually anywhere. It's true, those hulls tend to be on the market awhile unless priced low but thats what makes them so appealing. Take a seatrial and see how you like it. You can always start the offer low. If I was in the market and everything checked out, the boat ran well etc my offer would START at 23,500 (remember you can always go up)...Good luck if your going to check it out, keep us updated.
