O'day 272LE
The boat is on Ray Hubbard, It's never been on Texoma.
"felton" wrote in message ... I don't know anything about the boat, but remember that the offer was most likely "subject to survey and sea trials". Where is the boat? I am on Texoma (Cedar Mills). I do recall speaking to one of the yard "techs" a couple of years ago and he was telling me about the substantial amount of work they had to do to one O'day to beef up the hull where the chain plates attached as the owner had apparently put some muscle into the backstay and the hull deformed "significantly" on both sides where the chainplates attached. It left two sizable concave areas on either side of the boat. I hate to use the term "clorox bottle" when describing someone's prospective purchase, but I am afraid these boats are pretty lightly and cheaply built. As many boats at Texoma don't come out of the water EVER, be sure and be there when they haul the boat for a survey before the blisters have a chance to dry out and shrink and the broker tells you, "those are just paint blisters" There are good boats on the market in the 27' range, but I don't think O'day would ever be considered one of them.

O'day 272LE
Has a wheel (Iwanted a tiller!). Fixed FIN keel (lead wing). Here are some closeups. Don't like the "ports," but probably not a
safety problem for lake sailing. http://members.aol.com/oday272j/ "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... Can't be too bad a boat, boobs is already jealous. Wheel or tiller? Swing board?

I've always liked O'days. Did you talk to Katy, she used to sail one IIRC.
