Looking to buy a boat.....
Im in the market for a 272 or 29ol. My question is, if i bought the 29ol can a windshield be installed? Looking for 00'-02' $20-$25k.
|
Man, you don't wanna do that. If you want a wind shield stick with the preformance series. I don't think your target budget is going to allow you to shop 00-02 29's anyway. JMO
|
If you want the windshield and twins go with a 302. JMO, but a 29 outlaw with a windshield would look like crap.

Well, i found a 01 fresh water 272 with the 496ho that I want to go with. I really only want a single engine. I have had a few 272's in the past so im pretty familer with them. I just not a fan on not having a windshield eaither. I was in fort laurdale and looked at a 01 272 502efi and found out why i do not want a salt water boat. Guess its fine if you maintain your stuff, but 50hrs later back in Chicago with no boat, lol. Looks like the Carolina's next week, lol.

I have a 1998 Boss 272 with a" New" 509 Procharged motor built by Shumacker Proformance, Only 80 hrs on motor and 312 on the hull. It has a new XR drive and Imco hydro steering.This is a fresh water boat from indy...And it is fast as hell...Used to be Indy whsl on this site...

In answer to your question the 29 O/L only came with a fairing.
The 272 could be bought either way. |
At your price point you wont find a 2000+ 29 ol or 302. At least one worth owning.

290s have a windshield and can sometimes be found in that price range. Unfortunately, I cant seem to find any examples. Checked OSO, Ebay Motors and Boat Trader and couldnt find one anywhere.

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 find this hard to belive

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....

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.
|
I have been talking to the person for some time now, and it is a legit deal. We are very close on price, but im going to probably have to give a little bit more. I have a budget just like everyone else. I have not seen it in person yet, pictures looks good though. So what would the boat be worth with new trailer?
|
Tough question to answer without seeing it or at least without alot more details. I would guess low to mid 30s.

I have a very nice Eagle trailer for sale. Custom fit for a 272 Baja. I keep my boat rack stored, And never use it.
