Besides the dirt and mold, there's probably problems in the transom, or power. Certainly the trailer is going to need 7 tires, and 3 axles to rebuild. You're going to have to run it before you buy it, otherwise you'll have a nice yellow formula hull and go from there. I would say go to $8k at the most.

I like the boat, and really it is a consideration... But yeah its in decent shape, just pretty dirty

ya its dirty but you gota go look at it in person.....

Right, skipper buds has lots of locations

Its in wisconsin Im in ohio....

haha. I was thinking of this yellow 272 over the weekend, yes. they are incredible boats, but again, probably rebuilding the power and drives is going to be mandatory. I wonder how much play is in the gimbal/steering? I see that as being a reason to pull everything out.
