Both the 25ol and 272 hull are just versions of the original 24 Outlaw. The original 24ol hull was stretched to 25' and the hull sides lowered for the 250 Sport/270 model, then the 250/270 hull was raised 2" at the nose, and lowered at the rear with a new more rounded transom and the strakes lengthened at the front to create the 272/275 hull. The 252 hull was just a shorter version of the 272 hull, and the 25 Outlaw is the same bottom design as the 272, but it has raised hullsides, and the flat transom. Oh, and the 25ol has that notch in the bottom, and cutouts down the chines that do nothing! They were all variations of the original 24 Outlaw hull. Trust Me, we did allot of putty slinging in those days.

So these 272 are good boats all around and can handle some seas if needed?
From what I have been shopping i am seeing a few of these and even at lower prices than what I was looking to spend which is never a bad thing.

Hey Nate,
I see you're a neighbor of mine practically speaking.
Since we boat in the same waters, here's a word of adivce: Don't do what I did. I bought a Hammer and 8 months later upgraded to a 25 Outlaw. What a world of difference! Save yourself an expensive step.
Nothing wrong with the Hammer/H2X, great little boats, but the 25OL/272 are just so much better in the ride department, and the cabins are no comparison.

Ya i started with thw hammer or a 20'outlaw but i think i would fast out grow both.
I am really interested in these 272 as of late so it will be that or a 25 outlaw. Hopefully next season we will cross paths on the water.
I am always in st pete and have a great buddy that has a house on the intercoastal on sunset beach so i will be making frequent water way stops there lol.

You mean deeper hull sides!

Nate 5.0-BUY THE BIGGEST BOAT YOU CAN AFFORD!!! I have boated right were you are, my parents live in Bellair bluffs and my 272 was ok on calm days but I have gotten pounded running the gulf from Clearwater down south to the next inlet on average days!!
