Beautiful boat! Ive had it saved on marketplace for a few months! Ill trade you a really slick 272! 😁😁😉😉


Haha! I appreciate the offer - and I do love the classic look of the 272!

Sadly, I think I'm stepping away from boating for the first time in my life for a bit. May come back at it down the ...

$119,500

Relay gets bumped behind the helm. (Where the radio amplifiers are, I believe). I haven't had that problem yet but anticipating it.

(Or sometimes they go bad)

You need a 3/4 or 1 ton. I pulled my R7 for a year with a 1/2 ton Yukon Denali. Plenty of power. Upgraded (Brembo) brakes helped. But the few times I had to stop harder than I wished, I could tell that, even with good trailer brakes, the boat was pushing the rear around - not a great feeling ...

Hello All -

I couldn't figure out how to edit the main post. I'm dropping this to $125,500.

While still likely high. I think it's a reasonable starting place for discussion. I do think it's a reasonable value given the condition, options, and extras being included.

Looking forward to Michigan ...

Make sure the radio's zone volumes are up. I've stumbled over that a few times.

I have been thinking the price is a little too high. Thanks Norris! (Can't wait to get back down there this June! Likely with the boat in-tow! haha!)

Shameless bump. Also interested in thoughts about how/where to list this. It’s only here and FB marketplace for now. I tried Boattrader last year and only got bites from brokers.

Looks like a really nicely spec'd and maintained boat - good luck with your sale!


Thank you! It really is a beauty and I'm still not sold on selling it. The reality is we use it about 2 weeks out of the (short Michigan) summer as the kids age. We're sad that part of our life is beyond us. I'll ...

Hello All -

Nearly every option available! This boat is in excellent condition, and has been carefully maintained with only light use. Everything to get you on the water safely and legally is included! Kids are off to school ...

I think I cleaned mine a few years ago by removing the bottom bolts. Two of them are shown in your image.

The error was checked for prior to key off. There’s another thread talking about similar failure modes where there was no (user)readable code. My dealer couldn’t find one either but this was a few months after the last event so I wasn’t completely surprised- assuming it’s similar to the automotive ...

When mine was acting up, it was **usually** under load or acceleration (again, it was not consistent in what kind really) and I could hear a hard-to-explain change in engine noise (perhaps a cylinder dropping for a few seconds?), a very slight power change, then the beep, and then everything back to ...

I had the same issue earlier this summer. It just stopped after a tank or two of fuel. (I was running last year's fuel still) I'm not sure if that was the issue or not but it's the only thing I changed. I too couldn't read any codes or get it to act up on a regular basis.

I also have an R7 with the 430 and experienced the same issue several weeks back while on vacation (haven't used the boat since). For me, it happened 2-3 times throughout the week. There was no code to be read from the Volvo EVC screen. A simple key off and restart cleared the alert.

Just before ...
