Pearson 27 info

There is a 27'' Pearson listed in my area. The year is 1984. is this a true P27 or a P26 listed incorrectly? I seem to be seeing that P27''s weren''t made before 1987....

My brain is failing me right now, but Pearson bought some molds in the 1980''s from an outfit that went belly up and was producing a Pearson Triton line, or something like that. This boat may be one of those. The P-26 was last produced in 1982, and you are correct that what we Pearsonites call the P-27-II (to differentiate it from the Pearson Renegade, a design from the ''60''s that also was 27 feet)came out in 1987. I own a 1989 P-27-II.
