New here! We are currently upgrading our boat. Right now our choice is a 2013 Yamaha Limited S (dealer sale with 350 hours) or a 2019 Yamaha AR240 (private sale with 125 hours) for about the same price. Which should we go for?
thank you!!
 
The newer one with less hours. It’s also a second/final generation 240 so it’s has a lot of features that the older first generation does not and everything has been tweaked/tuned over the years by yamaha.
 
The newer 240 for the same price is likely the better deal - have a marine inspector go over it for you if needed and do a water test.
 
Hmmmm, someone just having some fun?
 
Thank you for the replies everyone! It’s our first jet boat and wanted to make sure we weren’t missing anything!!!!
 
Always go for the new with better technology; 6 years newer means everything is newer.
