Thoughts on 27-2? Who has sailed one?

Looking at a derelict 27-2 tomorrow. It's definitely a project, which I do not mind in the least.

Looking for experienced opinions from people who have owned or sailed one. No here say.

Inboard or outboard engine. Cannot remember much even though I introduced that boat.
This one is an outboard model. I believe an inboard was optional.

Here is a pic. I posted it up awhile back when I couldn't figure out the model.

Yes, it's rough and full of water. I am aware it could possibly be beyond repair. I won't get to step foot on it until this weekend. I plan on showing up with my portable 1150gpm bilge pump and a battery along with my flashlight and tools to give it a thorough once over. When it comes to sailboats beyond practical trailerability, I am kinda of limited to what I can find already afloat on my lake. This seems like a reason step up from my c25.
I dig the lines, kinda faux sugar scoop/swim platform, roller furler, etc... it's just more modern.

I am mostly wondering how they sail? Is there a reason you don't see this model often?
