Thunderballs is a great option for kiwi boating, with her refined internal finishes, presenting a new, fresh look. It has upgraded the 27 Runabout with some lush and warm fabrics, inviting some refreshing appeal and included piping on the seat and trim cushions. The laminate edges are now fully trimmed and the wide cockpit is supplied with a teak-look pop-in carpet that adds considerably to the prestige finish.
Inside the spacious cabin, where a generous V-berth with a plush infill cushion creates a full double bed – ideal for overnight stays and there’s a pump-out toilet as standard. Great access to machinery and best of all its simple. The 2024 Twin Volvo Penta 280 V6 engines with only 40hrs are stand out feature with unreal fuel economy, torque and balance of the vessel.
The way these engines are mounted gives the 2700 an open and uncluttered cockpit with no engine box as in the previous models. Safe to say she performs well. The cockpit boasts a convertible dinette, storage and large icebox on the port side, while the helm seating unit maintains a commanding view while being social.
All in all a friendly to use, versatile open layout that is the ideal coastal day boat, making easy work of the afternoon sea breeze on the homeward journey.
