I agree I had a 272 was ass heavy ,kplanes would be a must, hard to find a 272 with them, Id go for the 292 or 311
I seem to find that most of them have kplanes unless there 350/alpha models

311 is better ride in rough water and like the others said, is less ass heavy.
Is the 272 with the 350/alpha better balanced? I know, not as much HP available and slower, but still a decent boat for less coin. Either one is pretty reasonable right now, just how much you want to spend! Plus you can get more than 260 HP from a small block through an alpha.

great boat, only a cpl mph slower, build em up to 383's and get 70 out of it, night and day differance when it comes time to maintain, ask anyone with 454's:lolhit:

Just the engine bay room in a Bravo 311 is enough of a selling point to buy one. Try changing a water pump in a Bravo 272!!!! You litterally have to stand on your head. I can sit down in the engine bay in front of my engines in my 311. Winterizing is almost a breeze compared to a 272.

Yes, that is one reason I was looking at a sbc 272 vs. a bbc 311. the 272 bbc look REALLY tight!
