Price is in the ballpark for a 1994.

What condition was your 272 in? That's one low price!

Okay well that is good to know, most I see are atleast 20 grand....hey the 8k Idea is good, but with all the rebuilds I wouldn't trust to buy without a survey, I assume others could agree with this.

Thats a great price on a 272, not sure if Ive ever seen one that cheap.

$12k sounds about right on the 24. $10k would be a good buy if its nice.

Same here, and there have been some good buys in the 4 figure range on 24 Outlaws. Ive been waiting patiently for the right buy.

that is a good/ fair price for one. i would have started a little higher and my bottom dollar been around his asking number.

depending on the engine builder..... rebuilds can be awesome. the biggest enemy IMHO is an engine builder that does street/drag engines and will not listen to the specs you get from someone that sets up marine engines and is giving you this info out of the goodness of their heart. marine engines are set up different. they have a constant load and their internals can get HOT.
