1948 Elco Sport Cruiser 27 - 1 of very few left on the planet.   Very rare.   Deck and cabin forward/top need to be rebuilt as well as some cabinet work needed on interior.  Ribs & planking/keel in good shape.  Recent work done on bottom as you can see in picture with new bottom paint..  It is a project but will be worth it. This includes the hull and everything else except the Engine and V Drive which in which am willing to sell cheap.   Steering/rudder is all in place and in working order.  Working head.  Located Channel Islands in Oxnard CA.   If you restore boats, this is a gem.  Originally owned by Hollywood screenwriter Earnest Tidyman wrote Shaft and The French Connection.   The boat in the ad pic is exactly what this boat would look like restored.  This boat was in the water running 3 years ago.   If you have any questions feel free to email me at 1948elco27@gmail.com   This boat is scheduled to be destroyed on May 05/17.    Must arrange trailer/shipping.    This is obviously less about money and more about saving this piece of history.  I just paid $800 to basically give away the boat.  
Please help save this boat.
