    Highest HP a 272 Sailfish can take

    Had the same question so I called Grady White. Their comment was the euro transom on those early models was not designed to withstand the weight of current four strokes. Their suggestion for me was the newer Mercury Four Strokes. So, that's what I did and haven't look back. The old two stroke...

    272 Sailfish re power

    FWIW...I have a 94 272 with the euro transom like yours with the same Yamaha 200 2strokes. I called Grady and they told me my ONLY option (due to weight) was the Mercury Four Strokes. The old two stroke Yami's weighed in at about 440. The Mercury V6 four stroke weighs in at 475. The 200 and 225...

    1998 272 Sailfish Re-power

    I went with the Mercury 225's w/ fly by wire. Can't say enough good things about these engines and systems. I'm very pleased.

    2003 Marlin 300 transom handle replacement. How do I get in there?

    I believe you will have to pull the live well and crawl down in the void and do the best you can. Good luck!

    Auto pilot

    Installed AP on my 94 Sailfish 3 years ago. Pump was mounted below, aft of the lower berth. Processor was mounted under the dash on the bulkhead. Control head was mounted on the dash.

    1999 Grady 272 Stringer Question

    I agree with Hookup. That is very similar to the way my 94 Sailfish looked. Once opened up, the transom was mostly mush and the end of the stringers were very wet as well.

    1996 272 Sailfish running F 225’s

    I repowered my 1994 27 Sailfish in 2021. Went with the new Mercury 225 V6's. According to Grady White that was my only option for our style of hull (not extended). I have thoroughly enjoyed them. They are super quiet. Push the boat extremely well and do well on fuel mileage.

    Purchase of 2004 Sailfish

    How do you plan on performing your 100 hr. service on the engines? That will be very important to maintaining the engine warranty. Changing the oil is doable in the water but the lower unit grease is dang near impossible. By the way, I have a 94 Sailfish and absolutely love it. Good luck with...

    Transom Failure Incidents

    I agree with Glacierbaze. You may not have a problem now...but it ain't far down the road. Do you have access covers that will allow you to snap some pics of the inside of the transom? I'd love to see them.

    Transom Failure Incidents

    The only stringer that was compromised was the middle one. As you see in this pic, it was completely removed and replaced with Coosa board as was the transom. The other stringers were stripped of any loose fiberglass and re-glassed and sistered with Coosa board as well. Unfortunately, I don't...

    Transom Failure Incidents

    Repowered my 94 Sailfish in May 2021 with Mercury 225's, V6's. Had the original Yami 200 smokers prior. About three weeks after the repower, the mate told me he noticed the transom flexing back and forth over an inch while crossing small wakes in the no wake zone. I verified the movement the...
