Fjordklubben

Doesn't that make her about 5 old tons? I always took her as being round about that. I would have thought that it would make it illegal to pull unless you had something pretty hefty. At least a Discovery.

having said that, you mind the pictures on this link to YBW forums quite interesting

hello John

I also have a Selcruiser (I am assuming yours is a Selcruiser - I think there was another 27 as well). Mine is just about to come out of the yard having had a new engine fitted. Cost me more than the boat but I think the old girl is worth it. Supposedly built like tanks. I intend doing ...

Hi Rob,
it would appear that it is a handy place for the galley. I seem to recall that the galley was originally where it was due to some regulation about gas cokkers not being situated below. Bit of a nightmare up top though.
Seems to be a ...

Hello Bob,

Absolutely tragic news. I hope you can salvage something out of this. I noticed the start of this thread when having a browse on my phone and logged on to my laptop with the intention of sharing how mine was going. I am gutted for you mate. I would imagine that all your interior work ...

hello all,

finally taken the plunge. My boat goes into the yard next week to have a 250hp Yanmar installed. Can't wait to get her on the water. I'll let you know how it goes.

How many Selcruiser 27 owners out there that have had a similiar engine fitted?

nice idea. thanks

greetings all

still thinking of repowerring my Selcruiser 27. If I stick with the one inboard then I want an outboard as a spare. What sort of power do you think I would need as a "get you home" if I am a few miles offshore. I was going to leave it permanently on as a river/parking engine but ...

Hello Cepe,

thanks for the post but I am afraid I don't speak Norwegian. Are you putting a sterndrive in that boat and was it originally sterndrive or inboard.

Greetings again.
I have started this as a new topic to my other query about repowering my Fjord 27.

Basically, I want to clear the space in the cockpit area and lower the sole prior to putting on a hard top. I also want to solve the spare engine issue. I also want to have 175-200 hp on tap. As I ...

Just a thought, would 2 outdrives with 100ih engines be feasible?? Rules out the spare engine poser. How do people view outdrives compared to inboards.
It would allow me to lower the sole in the cockpit considerably.

regards

Many thanks for that reply Lars.
Stunning translation by google!!!! Your English is far superior.
So my thoughts on putting in something in the region of 175-200 hp will see me with a nice coastal capable boat.

thanks again.

Greetings to all and my apologies for posting in English.
I have recently bought a Fjord Selco 27. It has a 106hp volvo on a shaft. At the moment, we will be running it inland but hope to go coastal and eventually give her a trip home to the fjords.
The previous owner says that she will only do ...
