I found a 01 272 496ho riptide graphics that is a very clean boat with 120hrs. I can be in the boat for high teens, but the catch is no trailer. So after a nice trailer, it should put me where i want to be. I decided i do not want a twin motor boat and windscreen. I just always liked the 272's anyway. I know there are many other powerboats out there for the money, but they all show there year. From 94-01 there the same boats minus the graphics. I feel they are the best modern looking powerboat for the money.

I just sold my 1996 Baja for 23,000, With 800 hrs on her, and no trailer. I would say it was a 6 out of 10 being best. It had a very tired 454 "carb" and original bravo drive. If i could buy 2001"s in the high teens with 120 hrs, I would quit my daytime job and go into the boat business....

Smurf, that is the boat that pacalim is talking about. It is one of the nicest 272's anywhere. It is a 98 but still only has less than 300hrs on the boat and the only hrs on the motor are the ones pacalim put on it.

No, it is a 1owner fresh water boat. Guess it is a buyers market for a boat right now. With no trailer it makes it tough tho, loadmaster and haritage is 3 weeks out.

Where? If this deal is legit, buy a new trailer for it. It's a no brainer. Have you actually seen this boat? Lots of scams on the net. Price seems too good to be true.
