I don't like the way the windless mounts on hatch The 245 windless is similar, but I notice the anchor roller is different. I've not had any problems with the windless on my 245dc and from the rode storage access it looks pretty well supported. Although it looks like a standard anchor access hatch, it is locked and braced into place with 5200.

ordered a 2020 270 with twin f 150's. Test rode the same setup and cruised at 3800rpm's at 30 mph. Plenty of power with the 150's for me. Have a f150 single now and very economical to run and trouble free.Will be asking some questions on electronic suggestions in a few weeks, Rob

When is your expected delivery date? I agree all around re the F150s, that's what I have.

Just saw this that they came out with the 272. Like the extra storage boxes in the deck and reverse chines. Not to crazy about the platforms on the rear, could interfere when fighting a large fish I would think. Would not change now. liked the 270 as it is now no stopping at this point.

I’m not digging the wing looking platform off the transom either. Also, I bet they will be asking for more coins on this model.

Can’t take the money with ya when the clock expires. Who knows what the future holds. I’m enjoying it now while I can. Wow, Karma sucks. Wish I never posted this. A close friend/mentor just retired in June of 2019, moved to Arizona for wife to be near sister, kept working as a substitute teacher, was totally enjoying life. Well dammit he had a heart attack Wednesday morning and didn't survive even after the paramedics worked on him for over two hours. 62 years young. I'm gonna miss him.
