SOLD Moving sale! 2018 242XE $65K Kentucky

[Liftr]

I love my jet boat; but it would be sorely out of place in Anchorage, Alaska!
I will sell it fully equipped, and can deliver within a day’s drive of Lexington, KY.
I bought it new at Stokley’s Marine in KY, and have about 80 hours of freshwater time during 2 summers.
Here’s the details:

3 years left on Yamaha factory Warranty.
Shipping and Deluxe mooring cover.
Wake Booster kit and Surfboard. Wakeboard, 2 man tube, and ZUP 2.0 knee board. Half dozen life vests.
Stoltz bow roller and 10’ Keelguard. 60” VeVe loading guides.
ProMarine on board Dual Battery charger. Group 24 start battery and Group 27 House battery.
CobraJet steering fins and Mega Fangs. I did damage one steering nozzle, and documented the fix in a prior thread here.
Cobra Jet Install and fix.
I also had documented trouble with the Ballast Controller, Stokley’s replaced the Pump controller, but fixed it just by tightening electrical connections in the Battery control switches.
Please forgive my use of File photos, as I don’t have many candid pics of the boat.

As soon as I saw this I txt my wife. That was a fast no, lol. Gorgeous boat, good of luck with the sale and your move.

I think it’s the perfect color for a Buckeye to bring down to Lake Cumberland!

Better yet it is UC Bearcats colors.....

Either congrats or condolences on the move. Hopefully it's a promotion and not a demotion. I hear Alaska is a beautiful state, you know, aside from all that cold and snow

Good luck with the sale, I too did an immediate text to the "Household Financial Committee Chairwoman" with a surprisingly quick decision handed back. Even commenting it was UofL colors didn't help the cause.

Good luck with the sale! Sharp looking boat!

It is a promotion of sorts. I’ll be changing airplanes, and flying almost exclusively to International destinations.
I/we lived there before back in the 90’s, and are excited about going back for a while!

I say you put 2 keel guards and bring that maybe with you. To hell with ice

I like where you’re going with this. I wonder if the Coasties have considered a Jet Boat Icebreaker?!

When are you trying to sell this by? I'm interested, but located in MD

Ideally, it sells ASAP, but my planned deadline is before June. Thanks!

I’m down the road in Indiana and interested as well. Have a few questions when you get a chance. Thanks

I have made a deal, and received a deposit on my boat.
And, as a sign of the times, I have two backup offers.
I will close the Classified ad, when the check clears...

Congrats on the sale!

Although I won't lie, I was hoping for a price drop so I could have some more ammunition to convince the wife we need a larger vessel

Our big red boat pulled out of my driveway today, hooked to another Forum members truck.
Is there such a thing called “Seller’s remorse”?
I hope their family has many years of enjoyment!

Congrats !! I think ?

What he said...... Congrats, I think.

You sir, have a overly optimistic opinion of my budget!

It is bittersweet. We had no intention of selling the boat. Heck, I had even paid the registration fees for next year!

Now, I will have to commit to at least 6 months of Compare/Contrast, and perusing the classifieds.

I’m exhausted just thinking of the task ahead...

That's the fun part!
Even in this crazy market, boat shows will go on, spring is around the corner.
