Default 1996 272 Value????

Looking at a 96 272 with 454, 400hrs, comes with alum dual axle trailer. Guy wanted 15,500 but will take $14k. Good? Bad? fair?

IMHO buy 97 or newer.

Several changes made that makes it worthwhile

What were the changes?? Im looking at another one but its less motor and drive, gimball is still there but they want 8500 for it on trailer. Interior is 5 out of 10 etc. A good motor drive combo will run 5 to 6k for nothing special

Sounds like a fair deal to me. I had a 94 and was really impressed with how great of a boat it was.

Go look at it in person and you can always offer even less once he see's you have the money. But if its super nice you might not want to lose out on the deal!!!

Yes, im considering anything from 24 up, i had a 29 outlaw last year, we didnt have big enough water for it. I want to catch some air this year. Last year we only went out once in 5 to 6 footers

Owner dropped the price to 12k,So i went and looked at this complete POS. Owner lied...........boat is a 94 not 96, engine hatch is cracked BAD, looks like a whale landed on it, interior is badly weathered and cracked, dr seat is ripped out of the floor completely on one side etc.

Search continues.
