Subject: E27 hull numbers and boom vang repair
Info: (25630 views) Posted: Tuesday 10-26-10 05:17:59 PM

:: Hello Mike,

:: The hull number is found within the serial number
:: beginning with ABQ that is

:: located on the outside, at the top edge of the transom,
:: starboard side.

:: The the hull number is the 6th, 7th and 8th in that row,
:: ie 080 would be hull 80.

:: The last four is the manufacture date.

:: Please share the hull number once you find it and list
:: your information on the class roster.
::
:: Regards,

:: Peggy.
::
::
:: :: How do you find the hull number on an Express 27?
::
:: :: Also, we tore the boom vang swivel cleat out of the top
:: :: of the deck and are looking for repair advice.
::
:: :: Thank you.
Hello, Mike, Here's how I would repair the deck under the swivel cam for the boom vang:

Remove vang. Tape the holes under the deck. Fill the damaged part of the deck under the swivel with a mix of epoxy, filler and chopped fiberglass cloth. Fair the surface of the deck. Re-drill the holes and re-install the swivel cam with a stainless steel or aluminum backup plate to spread the load. There is quite a load on the swivel. (I'm not a boat repair professional, so you might want to consult Will Paxton who is a professional.)
