Is it the Newport colored boat? If so, I spoke with the owner on Monday. Boat looks decent (sent me 20 or so pics) he did say it had a 1000 hrs on hull AND motors. I'm still not big on the colors. Lil red offered up his boat prior to selling it and although in real nice shape, I'm hung up on that color combo.
I'll check out Erie Craigslist in case its a different boat. Thanks for the heads up.

ya thats the boat

if you continue to get caught up with color combinations, year, model, price, condition, etc...you are never going to be a boat owner. buying anything in life, especially a boat (with your specifics) there will be compromises. think you need to start letting go a little. not trying to bash ya...just reality.

hope you find what you are looking for!!!!

thats not true i didn't settle on anything... well except price

I said compromise not settle...there is a difference.

some on once told me "patience" nah I'm not good at it either

How is your search going? Any Luck yet?

Search is going... OK. I've been talking to a fella with and '87 272 and I am waiting for video from another on an '89 272. Nothing solid yet. Fortunately there's no rush due to the off season now but I still do a nationwide craigslist search every couple of days and monitor ebay, for what that's worth.
How's the new ride? No hard feelings on my color preferences, LOL.

I have a 90 272 w fresh 365 mags in the 20s for sale. it is on e-bay now. Central Illinois.

New ride is great, i am going thru some buffing and polishing now , minor touch ups here and there, you are going to love the 272 .
Not too big , definitely not small , great ride.
if we all liked the same colors the word would be boring.LOL.
