About
1992 Grady-White 272 Sailfish — Twin 2019 Suzuki 250s, Turnkey Fishing Package
Every so often a boat comes up that's been owned by someone who used it hard, maintained it properly, and kept the receipts. This is one of those. It's a Grady-White 272 Sailfish that's been repowered, upgraded where it counts, and set up specifically for serious Pacific Northwest fishing — not dressed up for a boat show.
The power
The big one first: twin 2019 Suzuki 250s. These are seven-year-old motors on a hull that most people expect to find sitting behind tired two-strokes, and that changes the math on this boat considerably. A repower like this runs well north of $40,000 today, and it's already done.
The hours will catch your eye — 2,785 on the port and 2,913 on the starboard — so let's talk about them honestly. Roughly 80% of that time is trolling. Anyone who fishes salmon on this coast understands what that means: hundreds of hours at idle and just above, barely loaded, which is a completely different life than the same number of hours at cruise. Add to that a maintenance routine most people don't come close to — annual service, oil changes every 100 hours, and lower unit oil every 200 — and there's a logbook documenting all of it. Bring a mechanic, bring your own eyes, and go through the book. It holds up.
The motors run fly-by-wire controls with troll mode, which is one of those features you stop noticing because it just works. Fine throttle control at low speed, no cable slop, easy synchronization, and the ability to hold a precise trolling speed without fighting the levers all day.
The ride and the comfort
Close to $10,000 went into Shockwave S5 suspension modules and Corbin seats. That number sounds like a lot for seating until you've run 40 minutes home into a short, steep chop and gotten off the boat still able to stand up straight. Suspension seating is the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade you can make on a boat this size, and it means longer days, less fatigue, and a crew that's still willing to go out with you next weekend.
The 272 Sailfish hull is a proven deep-V design that's been running this coast for decades — it's the reason these boats hold their value the way they do. Combine that hull with the suspension seats and the boat handles conditions where a lot of 27-footers turn back.
The full enclosure means you fish in weather instead of watching it from the dock. And the enclosed head is a genuine consideration — it's the difference between a boat that only the hardcore crew will ride on and one that your family, your partner, or your clients will actually get on board with.
The fishing setup
Two Scotty 1106 downriggers are mounted and ready to go. Three spare stainless props come with the boat, which is a detail that tells you something about the previous owner — he thought about what happens when you find a rock a long way from home.
Electronics are straightforward and functional: a Garmin 4210 chartplotter with radar overlay, a Raymarine sounder, and a Standard Horizon VHF. Radar overlay is not a luxury on this coast. Anyone who's been caught out in fog off the Island knows exactly why that matters.
Getting it home
The boat sits on a Load Rite tandem axle trailer, so it's yours to take wherever the fish are — no slip required, no yard fees, no waiting on a haul-out. Fresh bottom paint is already on.
The bottom line
This is a boat you can buy and fish immediately. The expensive work — repower, seating, electronics, bottom paint — is done and paid for. There's no punch list waiting for you, no "I'll get to that next season." Load your rods, your bait, and your cooler, and go.
Serious buyers are welcome to review the maintenance logbook and arrange a survey and sea trial.
