I'm looking at a 1997 Sailfish 272 with same year Yamaha 225's -- 900 hours. It's a brokerage boat. The marina that's handling the sale says both engines need PT&T replacements and water pump PM. The compression tests showed all cylinders in the 120 to 125 PSI range. Cosmetically, the boat is a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. The seller is asking $34K but I think in the current market this is a $25 to $28K boat (no trailer) plus the $2,000 in engine work. I'm familiar with this boat/engine combo pre 1997 and I've done business with the marina before and they were always fair and honest with me. I'm interested in hearing opinions on the boat/engine combo and the deal. There is a LOT of other stuff out there for sale. We'd like to spend about $30K and already have a trailer.
Thanks
