Hi all,
Our 1986 O'day 272 has a brand new 9.9 Yamaha installed. I saw the bill of sale. The speedometer doesn't work, which for Jean and me doesn't affect our decision on the purchase. However, the boat is in Charleston SC and we need to get it to Wilmington NC. We think it's about 140 miles, give or take. We know a broker who will help me get it to Wilmington. He charges 300-500 per day, so without knowing at least roughly what the 272 will do under power, we can't make an informed decision. Anyone have similar sizing and know what kind of speed it will do? Jim says he has the bottom scraped by a diver at least every 6 weeks, so I am going with it isn't covered... Thanks for any insight.
Jesse
