27 Open

A great-looking boat, the Venture 27 is a beaujpgully finished open fisherman for anglers willing to pay the price for serious quality. Her deep-V hull is vacuumed bagged and reinforced with Kevlar for added strength, and a generous 9-foot beam results in a roomy cockpit with everything important close at hand. Although her purpose is fishing, molded bow seating allows the 27 Open to serve as a comfortable day cruiser as well. Standard features include a hardtop with rod holders, two-30-gallon fore and aft in-deck fish boxes, 45-gallon transom livewell, bait prep station with sink, leaning post with tackle storage, forward console seat with cooler under, pop-up deck hardware, insulated bow storage (under seats), recessed bow rails, below-deck forward storage, cockpit rod storage, fresh and raw water washdowns, cockpit bolsters, trim tabs, and anchor locker. The Venture 27’s walk-in console comes complete with a sink, marine head, and near standing headroom. Fit and finish is second to none and so is the driving experience. Rated for up to 500 horse, twin 200hp Mercury outboards top out 45 knots. An over-wide permit is required for trailering.
