272 Sailfish

Among the best outboard fishing boats of her era, the 272 Sailfish is a redesigned version of the company’s popular 255 Sailfish (1981–93) with an integrated transom, minor interior modifications, and a redesigned bottom. Heavily built, the 272 Sailfish was one of Grady’s best-selling models during her production years. A wide 9'6" beam provides more usable cockpit space than many 27-footers as well and a reasonably roomy cabin. The side decks are wide enough for easy bow access and a deep cockpit keeps everyone secure when the going gets rough. Standard features include a bow pulpit, 20-gallon aft livewell, rear bench seat, insulated fish/storage boxes (2), cushioned bow seating, cockpit bolsters, transom door, deluxe helm seats, raw-water washdown, transom shower, trim tabs, and rod storage racks. Nearly all Grady-White 272s were sold with the factory hardtop. Below deck, a functional cabin with mini-galley, enclosed head/shower compartment, an athwartships aft berth, and convertible dinette/V-berth forward sleeps 3–4 people. The Sailfish will reach a top speed of close to 45 knots with Yamaha 250 outboards.
