That sounds a little high to me too. Even for retail. A 1999 with 500efis just sold here at 100k.
I like both boats. I was looking for the first 29 Outlaw or 302 that came my way in my price range. It just so happened I found a 302. I also like it because it's not quite as common as the Outlaw.

I don’t have any data but one would think a 302 might be slower because of the transom design. The curvy integrated swim platform on the 302 results in a very rounded junction at the point where the side of the boat meets the transom. This is bad for speed since water wraps around and drags you down. The more squared off this junction is, the better for speed. In fact, some people will really sharpen this junction as part of blueprinting their hull. Even on a flat-transom boat like an Outlaw, this junction will be rounded somewhat. Builders do this because it makes it easier to pull the hull from the mold.
