2017 Intrepid 327 Center Console

What really stands out on this 327 is how Intrepid squeezes big-boat confidence into a nimble, driver-focused package. The deep cockpit feels secure when the seas stack up, and the wide bow with forward seating invites everyone up front without feeling crowded. At the helm, the sightlines are excellent, so you’re not craning your neck to see over the bow on plane. Intrepid’s hull design delivers that soft, dry ride they’re known for, and the boat feels solid underfoot—no creaks, no rattles, just a reassuring, quiet run. Step below the console and you’ll find a surprisingly usable space for stowing gear, changing, or taking a quick break from the sun between runs offshore or sandbar hops.

In this region’s mix of choppy inlets, scattered reefs, and long open stretches, the 327 Center Console hits a sweet spot. It’s large enough to feel comfortable when the afternoon wind kicks up, yet compact enough to slip into tighter docks, restaurants, and shallow anchorages. The stepped hull shines in short, confused seas, letting you maintain speed without beating up the crew. For local fishing, the layout makes it easy to work baits around the boat, while still keeping plenty of cushioned seating for family days. Quick runs to nearby islands, sandbars, and offshore wrecks all fall squarely in this boat’s wheelhouse, making it a versatile choice for these waters.
