I have been thinking the same thing almost. But I have been looking for a 29 with stock power, swap my power into it and sell the 27 with the 29 power in it. What power does your 27 have.

I like projects. I know the motor so id had to get another high horsepower motor and know nothing about its history.

I think they are very much alike and I hade the same thought about trading from a 32 to a 35 just not much difference. and why put your self through that. Hassel keep it.

If you like winter projects then go for it. I think you could find a 496HO motor and drive used, put it in the 27 and get more for it. When I bought my boat new a 29 was 50K more and I just couldn't see it. If you put the tabs down and the drive in my '27 jumps on plane very quickly. Just over a minute. I doubt a '29 hops up on plane much faster.

Mine gets on plan great fully loaded. The top end and rough water is the issue. Like the more room in the. 29 and still be a single engine boat.

I am going to keep the 27 until I'm ready to upgrade to a twin engine boat. I like the swim ladder and anchor locker on mine. Also I'm pushing my 1500 silverado's limits with this 27 so I should be satisfied with what I have. Thanks guys for the input.
