Heavy built and made to handle serious conditions. This boat was built and designed with one thing in mind: getting home when shit hits the fan. At commercial speeds, she’s got a range of nearly 1,000 nautical miles and over her lifetime has fished every canyon from Wilmington to Powell. Inside, she’s equipped with full heat and A/C; the fishing may be rugged, but the ride doesn’t have to be. She is commercially inspected to fish cold waters over 100 nautical miles offshore, loaded with well beyond all the necessary safety equipment. She’s my main offshore workhorse, and when the weather turns or the runs get long, this is the boat to get it done.

If you know boats, you know the 27 Conch has a reputation, and she more than lives up to every bit of it. Fast, dry, stable, and built tough, this boat punches way above her weight. She’s not the biggest boat in the fleet, but she’s more capable than most. Whether you’re hopping wrecks for blackfish or punching it to the canyons on short weather windows, the 27 gets us there and back no questions asked. No fluff, just a true-blue do-it-all machine.
