This is the kind of boat that lets you leave the dock later, go farther across Tampa Bay, and still feel relaxed bringing everyone home. The Elite 27 OB Bowrider replaces the common compromises owners feel when entertaining, running in afternoon chop, or managing crowded cockpit space with friends and family.

With a deep-V hull and outboard power, this platform is built to handle variable Gulf conditions while keeping operation straightforward at the helm and predictable at the dock. The hardtop, integrated cockpit layout, and dedicated head compartment reduce the friction that often limits how long people actually stay out on the water. This is a setup designed for real use around St. Pete, Clearwater, and Sarasota—not just short hops.

Power comes from a single Mercury Verado outboard, delivering confident acceleration and simplified maintenance access. Fuel capacity supports meaningful day trips without constant planning, while thoughtful cockpit storage, wet bar, and convertible seating make hosting easier instead of more complicated.

Thunder Marine represents this boat with a focus on long-term ownership success, not just delivery day. You get local expertise, service continuity, and guidance that fits Tampa Bay boating—not generic advice.
