ChrisCraft Concept Cuddy 27 Volvo 5.7 efi? Opinions wanted

[cjd]

Can anyone give me any information on a ChrisCraft Concept Cuddy 27 feet with twin 5.7 Volvo efi's?

My neighbor just asked me to go look at the boat, and he is considering making an offer. Offer will be contingent on a hull and engine survey, as well as sea trial.

Asking 19,600. Boat looks solid, and well kept.

Can anyone give me any information/watch outs on the Hull and the Volvo's?

Meh. Underwhelming styling, typical Winne-Boat-o features. Totally forgettable. Twin Volvo EFIs should move it nicely and be trouble free with regular maintenance. OK for a cocktail cruise I guess, not my cuppa.

What year? My '96 Concept 19 bowrider had numerous gel coat issues. I've seen better Bayliners in that regard. Also, kinda nose heavy, would not really get up and fly. But that issue may have been limited to the 19. My Volvo was a Ford block with carb. That may have been the best part of the boat. Well, that and the uphostery. All to be taken with a grain of salt, I've never even seen the 27 cuddy. For good comparisons try Chaparral and Regal.
