O'Day 27

Can the O'Day 27 be trailered?

I think so

I have one -- no trailer -- but I remember people mentioning it in previous posts

yes it can

I trailered my Oday 27 from Annapolis Md. to Brunswick Ga. There are trailers out there for them, they are just scarce as Hen's Teeth. I borrowed a trailer from a fellow in Annapolis. If you can get one with an extending tongue it makes launching a lot easier. The only other problem is stepping the mast. With the right rig I guess it can be done, although I found a construction crane working on a dock next to the marina and got them to lift it in place for quite a bit less than the marina wanted. Good Luck.

Yes, I did it last weekend

Just bought a 1987 272 Oday. Trailered it last weekend 60 miles to new lake. Not far, but all went well. Boat came with a trailer, Shorlander. (Boat has a fin keel, so only 3 feet of draft) We have a 2001 Tahoe, and it had no problem pulling it out of the water and going down the road. 50 mph was about the fastest because trailer would fishtail a bit at higher speeds. Lake we removed it from had a mast stepping pole, so we were able to take down the mast with past owner, but when we reached new lake they have no pole so we have to pay to have them do it. Oh well, I've spent money in worse ways.Good Luck.
