27 Sportcraft have been the bread and butter for a great boat on Erie. Some have 350's and some have 454's. Do your homework on the year for the so you know what your paying for. The newer 272's had a better stringer system and fuel injection sys for fuel economy. Put a 4 stoke kicker on the rear if you troll. Happy Days in Port Clinton has some 27's as well as a friends 300 Sportcraft that is in excellent condition as I had run it several times. See Kevin Gottron at Happy Days and they can find you the right boat for what you are willing to pay for a quality boat.
