Who measures these things ??????
Was tied up at a restaurant in bristol next to a powerquest 290. Beautiful boat and from what i've seen there a lot of boat for the money but my 272 looked massive on the side of it ??? Even my buddy who was with me commented that it looked smaller. nothing against the powerquest but it sure makes it tough for consumers to compare boats when the 2' smaller boat seems bigger lol

Powerquest 290 is 27.5" not including swim plattform,29.1" with plattform...8.6" wide
I owned 3 PQ 290s in tha past,great boats,a couple of guys in our boat club have 272s not sure what your looking at but its pretty much the same size boat,,
Now put a 290PQ next to a newer Formula 292 and the PQ 290 is a much bigger boat...so whats your point?

wasnt much of a point other than side by side the 272 looked bigger, got nothing against the pq, i actually looked around at a couple last year when i saw this particular one for first time but they were out of my budget a little bit. just my view

Here's one for you to mull over. I pulled next to a Sea Ray 272 Pachanga last weekend in my 255 and my boat was longer by about a foot and my rub rail was about 12~14" higher out of the water all the way around...go figure.

1990 was the first year manufacturers started adding molded swim platforms into the lengths....by 1992 near all of them were doing it (I know Carver and Silverton did not for awhile).
Year ago I had a 1991 310 Searay Sundancer....the next year they made the 330 Sundancer. It was the EXACT same boat even down to the colors. A couple years later they re-designed the top cap and interior but kept the same hull.....then called it the 340 Sundancer.
Formula and many others did the same thing. The older 272SR-1 are much bigger than the newer 292 fastech IMO, even though they are technically the same length.
