I have a Z210 and am looking to upgrade to a bigger boat. I just drove 200 miles to look at a Z252 in Cincinnati to find out it was sold last night. Can anyone help me find one?

If you look right under your post there is another one that is titled Z252 for sale the luck is in your favor, good luck!

What'd you think of the Z252 at Captain's Cove in Cincinnati? I live right down the street from there! I could have checked it out for you and saved you a 200 mile trip! I saw it and honestly I think it was a bit overpriced. I paid less than that for my Z250.

I never got to see it in person since they sold it the night before I headed that way. There will be one come up. They are just few and far between. Thanks for the info.

Patience is the key. I looked for over eight months before I found mine. You'll have better luck when it comes towards the end of the season. People usually make the decisions to sell then once the winter storage & harboring bills start coming in. Do your research, see which model years you like best, what engine, options and color scheme you'd like, and what's within your price range. Check out boat classified sites as often as you can.

there's also been a few Z252's show up on ebay and craigslist.

If you're interested in a Z272, there's one for sale locally on craigslist in Cincinnati, it's beautiful. 2000 model, Gray & White duotone gelcoat, 454mpi, captains call exhaust, custom trailer, all the options, etc. He's got it priced at $29,900 which is a pretty good deal for this boat. If I was in the market for a bowrider, this'd be the one I'd buy!

I have talked to this guy and he sent me a bunch of pics of the boat. It is a beautiful boat and a pretty good deal. It is basically the same boat as the Z272 mid cabin cuddy but with a walk thru windshield. The problem is that I only have 7'10" clearance height into my garage and this boat won't fit without some modifications. It is a deep boat. Thanks.
