Hello all,
I am looking for a good used 27 in the 1986-1990 year range.
If you know of one please drop me a line at catalina9405@kc.rr.com
Thanks,
Chad
A Com-Pac 27 is a beautiful boat. Far better then the competition. And that's from the mouths of three Hunter Salesmen who I followed around from boat to boat at the All Sail Boat Show at Navy Pier, Chicago. The hunter 27 is a 'light weight' compared to the Com-Pac 27. I can't sell you one. I don't have one. skip.
Will be selling in the fall (getting too old) 1987 compac27
If interested you can contact me at rsterner001@ec.rr.com
Ron, where are you loctaed?
I'm also looking for one in the NY area.
My wife and I are going on a boat shopping trip next week. If we are successful Pooka may be on the market.
Our boat will not be one of those cheap fixer uppers. She is in very, very good condition.
Bill, curious...what are you shopping for? I mean what kinda boat? Trading up? Down? Powerboat?
Pooka on the market? Hey, what in the wide wide world of sports is-a- going on here?
Say it ain't so?

Easy there fellers, Pooka is not on the market, yet.
Here's the story:
I'm about 5 years from retirement. We would like to get a 38ish cruising boat in the next couple years in preparation. However the market is particularly strong for buyers right now. So we are just looking but you never know. The right boat at the right price might just present herself sooner than later.
I honestly love my Com-Pac, a fantastic 27 footer. In fact even though I'm considering selling she got all new running rigging today, reconfigured the davit supports and just general putzing around for the last couple weeks.
We will still splash her on Dillon this summer then we'll see what happens.

Bill:
Should you find yourself a non-Compac owner, I believe you are grandfathered in here with full lifetime priviledges. I almost bought a 27 last year; twas the deal of the century. Well, almost. I consulted with Koinonia about it...she thought is was a bad idea. She was right. She usually is.
Bob23...wrinkly as a prune here in the Northeast rain!
Thanks Bob. We are in San Francisco right now getting ready to go shopping. We spent the day looking around the delta region for marinas. Pretty cool up there.
Bill
There is a new listing on the South Jersey Craigslist for a 1994 Compac 27 with reasonable equipage.

Peter and all:
I wonder if that 27 is still for sail up at Silver Cloud or Forked River Marina (NJ) I can't remember which. It was about 14K.
Bob23
Hey Bob- we both missed out on that 1986 C27 at Silver Cloud. It has been gone for at least six weeks, and I assumed they sold it or hid it really well. Just repeat.........."Bigger boats-bigger problems and expenses." I don't miss all the big bills from the last big boat- I only miss being able to go to New England or the Chesapeake at the drop of a hat. I guess, though, that is still possible with the help of a bigger tow vehicle than the Ranger 4 cyl. !! See you on the water.

I'm glad I didn't go for that 27. I'm quite content with my 23 although I wish I were only 36 inched tall so I could have standing headroom. I'm able to store her on a trailer in my back yard, launch easily, no slip fees, winter storage fees, which equates out to more $ for the important things in life.
Bob23...at the State Marina for a few more days- thanks Dennis!
Why are there so few 27s on the market? There only seem to be a handful for sale at any time. And those that are for sale are in most cases early models (pre-1990). Is it that Compac owners don't like selling what they have? Or is there a thriving black market???
Cost a lot of $$$'s plus how many 27's were built? I don't know the last hull #. They sure are nice boats. But big and still barley trailerable.
I saw a Com-Pac 35 [?] in the sling at Sister Bay's Yacht Works Marina. Boy that is a big sucker. And They let me walk through it once she was in her slip. Impressive and distinctly a Com-Pac in flavor.
skip.
Good point. So how many have been built? Some details on the production history would be interesting - annual production since 1986, model changes over the years, etc.
