The 272 is every bit as stable as the 25 Outlaw. If fact I think it's beam is 2" wider. I rarely ever had to use the tabs on my 2000 272 and if I ever did was because it liked to porpus (spelling?) a bit but I never felt any roll.

Not knocking you or anything, but I think it might be your driving. I love my 272. I did have the porpose problem above 60 MPH. I had the hull blueprinted and its gone.
labbed prop, went through the 502 and bumped the cam a bit. Runs just over 70 MPH,, very stable.
Does yours have tabs? The boat does ride high at speed. I keep my tabs at neutral and dont have a problem.

The ride characteristics Im refering to is at 30-40 mph, in very thick boat traffic chop. Weekend at the 14 MM of LOTO. Not too many sub 30' boats running 50+ for very long in that stuff.
