27 Tournament

Built on the same hull as the Phoenix 27 Weekender (1979–94), the 27 Tournament is a traditional raised-deck express with a clean and uncluttered fishing layout. She’s built on a beamy deep-V hull with prop pockets and a steep 21 degree of transom deadrise. Her bi-level cockpit eliminates the engine boxes found in the Weekender while providing much-improved helm visibility. Below deck, the cabin accommodations are centered around a convertible dinette forward and a small galley to port. There’s standing headroom in the head, and the interior is tastefully finished with teak trim and off-white mica laminates. Additional features include a molded bow pulpit, transom door and gate, an in-deck fish box, raw water washdown, lockable rod storage under the cockpit coaming, and good access to the engines. Among several gas and diesel engine options offered over the years, a pair of 260hp gas engines cruise at 23 knots cruise (29–30 knots top), and Volvo 200hp diesels cruise at 25 knots and top out at just under 30 knots. Twin 250hp outboards cruise at 25 knots and reach a top speed of around 40 knots.
