Subject: Express 27 "Espresso"
Info: (17780 views) Posted: Friday 12-4-09 01:54:06 PM
Thanks Jason: The serial number, which was located on the top right corner is A(8)(Q)27097F585. The number was difficult to read so there was some uncertainty regarding the 2nd and 3rd digits. The 2nd digit was either 8 or B, the 3rd digit was either Q or O. I was unable to determine the hull # when I saw the boat.

Thank you for your help, Mark

:: There was a red boat in the SF bay area a few years ago
:: by the name of Radio Flyer (hul #89), but it sold and
:: went somewhere??? Could be this one just renamed, or it
:: might be a lost boat that we don't know of. Check the
:: hull identification number on the top right corner of
:: the transom. That will tell you everything you want to
:: know. I have a pretty big file on the history of all the
:: boats and can give you what I know once we find out what
:: the hull# is.

:: :: is painted red, with large decals on the side
:: :: "Espresso". Any information would be helpful.
