What are the possible issues as to why this is not working? He said at the price I am getting the boat at he feels he is not going to fix it. Apparently that is the only thing wrong with the boat.

Thss boat has never spend the night in the water. He was just a day runner and when he did not use it, it was kept in the garage. He has owned it for the last 10 years and was the second owner. Just not sure if I can line up a surveyer in time.

The listing expired and I didn't get to see it.
If it checks out I'd call it a 20k plus or minus 10% boat. Don't be fooled about its performance abilty. That hull, my Canadian Internet friend, with more power will really wake up and haul the mail!!! There are a few members here that have some wicked fast 272's As in much faster than I would care to go in a less than low 30 foot boat. Does your potential boat have hydraulic power steering??? At 415 hp I'd guess it's a 502mag. You don't want to power up more than that without it. I don't see you having a problem as is hitting mid 60's with the right prop. Congrats on your find!!!:coolcowboy: See ya, Kelly |
Yes, it has Power Steering. Just got it home. I wish I could figure out how to post a pic, then I would. Its a 99, Baja 272 with a 502, Bravo 1. It has 302hrs on it.
Also, what is the best prop for this boat? Its a stock 502 with I believe a stock prop, 23p. I need to verify. But, it certainly is not the best prop. It seems to wash out very easily. I am thinking 24p Bravo 1. I am not looking for the almighty top end. Just looking for better out of the hole and mid range pull with keeping the same top end or more. I guess I want it all. lol... |
502 mag MPI?
|
a 24p b1 should be the ticket.. I went from 23p m+ to 23p b1 uppitched a 22b1 and worked great!!

Yes.. 502 mag mpi.

OK, so you went from the stock 23p mirage plus to a 23p Bravo 1, then to a 22p bravo 1? |

I also tried a 21p rev4 which ran really well, but couldnt find a 23p rev4. According to bblades, basically the rev4 is better out the box than a B1. But labbing a B1 is better... mine wasnt labbed but felt really good over all. Better holeshot, cruise, bit, docking, etc! oh, I also only had the 454mag, so you should be able to push a 24 b1 which will have better cruise. I pushed it to 4k at 51 and topped out at 4700 at 63 in cool weather. (385hp) |
