The new 2018 R-27 review

Remaining fuel
The aft portion of the center engine fuel tank is somewhat exposed in the forward portion of the cockpit's center hatch. Thus at a pinch one can view the fuel level there. In addition this aspect is very useful if one is unaware of how full the tank is when topping up with new fuel.

Fresh water in the aft bilge
In my R-25 and R-21 I was used to seeing little water in the bilge. Now, for this R-27/OB it appears because of the shape of the centerline stringer molding in the base of the cockpit's center hatch the water level can reach maybe an inch or two high before the both sensors on the vertical black box are submerged in water and for auto pumping feature to activate. Thus more water will collected in this portion of the bilge.

Boat has tendency to lean to port
This issue has now been resolved somehow. After having boat returned from RT's factory for fixing/changing a few things the boat is now perfectly level..... magic I assume. :lol:

Bum got a bit numb
The ROHO cushion works very well.
