Loved our 27 Open but one odd thing was the forward bilge area which had no real access. Once a year or so I would remove the dinette table and insert a manual bilge pump into the stanchion base and pump out standing water. Check out the rudder shaft support plates, mine were rusty so I replaced with newer Tiara product. I also replaced the stuffing box packing with GFO packing which was a significant improvement. Bob
