Notes: Hull # 435-915.\nWheel steering became an option in 1976.\nDiesel power became an option in 1978.\nNear the end of the Mark III production run, the Yanmar SYP 12 diesel became standard.\nStandard keel is deeper than previous versions.\nBut a shallow draft version was also available. (4.0')\n(No boats were ever sold as C&C 27 MK III and it's a designation adopted later.)\nPhoto courtesy Adam Hunt.
