Like her little sisters, the Little Cod 21 and the Lingcod 24,  the Lingcod 27 is a Garvey type boat (bow transom, Vee bottomed) and makes for a really good and rugged skiff. With so much volume forward, the boat can be nosed into the shoreline and the skipper and friends can safely and securely walk off the bow. There are good and sturdy centerline keel and bilge keels that keep the boat off the bottom in a beaching or grounding situation.

A center console rounds out this design but you could work out many different arrangements for passenger seating or even fit a removable small cabin on her like the Honker 18 design.  – Sam Devlin
