Just wondering if any one has one of these boats and if so how they like them, I'm looking to buy my first "power boat" and was also wondering what people thought of this one and a respectable price for it. thanks

A buddy of mine has that exact same boat. I've spent a lot of time in it. Very nice handling boat, 24 degree V, molded cockpit liner, built very well and solid feeling. But as with all older boats, check for transom/stringer rot.

Looks to be in great shape, great boat for the money.

looks like its in nice shape! survey survey survey!

Yup, get a survey. Looks clean in the pics, but that can be deceiving.

A friend of mine has a very similar 270 for sale with more HP that you might want to check out. I know he wants it sold.

For a survey I've used Tom Ferguson he is in Manchester NH 603-669-0734 or [email protected] he has tons of experience and all the certifications.

Thanks but i talked to the owner of this one and was only looking to get around 12-13K for it, there have been no HP increases unfortunately but the price is a bit more comforting

Sunshadow--- off the cuff do you know what tom may charge, the boat is in Gilford Just a couple hours from Manchester. i have never used a srveyer before dont even know what to expect.

I just sold a 1990 30' baja with twin 454's all stock had it for five years had no major problems just normal maintience
