2018 242 Limited S E-Series, 1st New Boat

[VaMarine]

Well the Wife and I made the plunge and traded our 2006 175 Bayliner I/O for a 2018 Yamaha 242 Limited S.

Took the maiden voyage this weekend out of the Great Wicomico to the Little Wicomico. She handled like a dream in the 1-2ft seas we saw on the way back. Still have a little getting used to (sluggish directional control at no wake speeds), but we will overcome that. Otherwise hoping to learn a ton from everyone here and help out where I can..

Congrats! I have the same but in black! Lovely boat. I'm having issues with house battery and possibly the solar panel. Make sure yours works well

Nice! I have the same boat and absolutely love it. I have taken mine through 5-6ft seas and although sketchy the boat still did great.
