Santa Cruz California United States
$18,900 USD
Yacht for sale is a 1996 GRADY-WHITE 27' "THE OUTER LIMITS" 272 Sailfish Sport Fisherman in Santa Cruz, California, USA.
The Grady White Sailfish 27 is one of the most respected offshore fishing boats ever built in its class. They have earned their reputation for seaworthiness, comfort, and fishability, and this 1996 model continues to deliver. Speeds to 27 knots cruise and 36 knots at wide open throttle with Yamaha 200s,
With its wide beam and deep-V hull, this boat is designed to handle choppy seas with confidence, making it a trusted choice for serious anglers and families alike. The spacious cockpit offers ample room for multiple anglers, rod holders, and a transom door for easy access when landing big fish. Inside, the cabin provides overnight accommodations with a V-Berth, mid-berth, galley, and enclosed head—perfect for weekend getaways or long days offshore.
Grady-White boats have premium construction, high-end materials, and reputation for durability. They feature proprietary SeaV2 hulls for superior performance, extensive safety features, and high resale value.
This boat is in very good condition for its age, but on December 23, 2024 a swell event at Santa Cruz harbor submerged the Yamaha 200 hp engines and they are beyond repair. The boat was hauled and has been stored on its trailer ever since. None of the rest of the boat appears to be affected. Searching online it appears used motors are available. 225 hp max and 4 stroke is superior or replace with new and have a great fishing machine for a long time to come!!
