I did this research a couple years ago, when planning a truck purchase. For objects that are bouyant; displacement = weight. I would say the boat weighs all 5500#, add the trailer and cradle, your easily around 7500#. Just be sure your trailer has working brakes, and has sufficient tounge weight. Also be advised the 27's are wider than the legal limit in Minnesota so a permit is required, and the height is within a few inches of legal too.
I've used a 3/4 ton Chev diesel to pull our boat around, and it does it with ease. I also figured it was cheaper to borrow a truck to move the boat. So I still drive my Jeep.

<P align=left>We've decided to part with our Mk3. "Fever" has a gold hull, which, when buffed out, has good color and shine to it. It is a freshwater only boat. The deck or hull have no soft spots, except one small spot on a cockpit lazerette hatch. There is some crazing in the normal places. Everything is in good working order. The particulars are below. $15,900 USD

I'm planning on racing my 27 next season, and am wondering about any model specific tips anyone has regarding this boat. I have been racing keelboats for the last five seasons, but only fractional rigged boats.
I've heard crew placement fore-aft is important. I was told to keep the crews weight foreward of the companionway during tacks. Is there merit to this?
What about headsail size coorelating to wind speed?
I am already getting anxious to get back the boat in the water, and ice out is still over three months away.
