Re: 25 VS. 27 FC
I've showered on my A27, but not in the head (I'm a bit on the 2XL size). I usually make sure no-one's looking then hit the hose in the wheelhouse. Works for me and doesn't scare the natives.

Hangs a shower curtain next to galley. Added a diaphragm pump to drain the bilge. That has a valve and a second hose that tie to a sponge in the bilge allowing me to get it dry.

Re: 25 VS. 27 FC
The deciding factor between them is trailerability. We trailer ours all over. Covered pretty much all eastern inlsnd waterways. Unfeasible with a A27. If you keep it in a marina and dont trailer, you have much more room in a A27

Re: 25 VS. 27 FC
You can trailer an A27, but you need a substantial 3 axle trailer and a similarly robust tractor unit. We actually put Mazboot on a flatbed to haul her round from Deale MD to Alexandria VA, to avoid a 4-5 day trip by sea (yes, it was the wimpy way out but saved a lot of time when we needed it).
