2000 Sport-Craft Sportfish 272

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam and deep cockpit give this 27-footer the stance of a much bigger offshore hull. The helm layout is simple and practical, with clear sightlines over the bow and room to spread out charts or mount additional electronics if you like to customize your dash. Forward, the cabin offers enough headroom to change gear comfortably, plus a V-berth where you can escape the midday sun or grab a nap between tide changes. Non-skid decks, high gunwales, and sturdy hardware give a secure, all-business feel. It’s the kind of rig you can hose down after a long day and be ready to go again at first light.

This hull really comes into its own where weather and sea state can change quickly. The deep-V design and substantial freeboard handle afternoon chop with confidence, while the outboard configuration keeps draft modest enough to nose into creeks, sounds, and nearshore structure. On longer runs to wrecks or reefs, the protected helm and solid ride reduce fatigue, and the cockpit space makes it easy to work multiple lines or drift live baits. When the bite is in closer, the boat is still compact enough to trailer to different ramps or tuck into smaller marinas, giving you flexibility across a wide range of local waters.
