Welcome to OSO. The 272 is a GREAT boat. I had one and still miss it.
True story - Friend and his wife that owned a 29 Fountain rode on our 272. His wife asked him why their boat did not ride as good as our Baja and it was two feet longer (she did not know about the beak). Well in about two weeks they owned a new 35 Fountain with 575's. You may have seen it. The boat was all Yellow and was the first 35 built with 575's and ran over 90 MPH. He was a Fountain fan all the way or she would have pushed for a Baja.
As for money I could care less. I don't have a lot of money either. Mainly because I spend too much boating. I guess that is one reason we all here on the Baja side get so ticked off at those that have spent three to four times what we did on a boat and want to bash our brand. No it is not an Outerlimits, but it is a hell of a boat for the money.
Thanks for your reply.

I'm surprised yours has not sold. The 272 turn pretty good down here. I sold mind in three weeks, and a guy on Norman that now has a 36 also sold his 272 Islander in ONE day for a lot more then I ever thought he would get for it.
Good luck
