Very clean 2016 Yamaha 242 Limited S E-Series for sale in Northern California. Engines have ~190 hours and run flawlessly. Has only been run in fresh water (Lake Tahoe) for the past 5 years. Many upgrades and mods (including for high altitude boating) including: Ribbon Delete with high power air filters (have originals as well), altitude pitched impellers from IMPROS (have originals as well), Thrust Vector Wake/ Lateral Thruster Combo from JetBoatPilot, aluminum water bypass and bilge ports, KeelShield by Gator Guard, brand new Bimini top, 2 brand new batteries (starting and house), and a ton of extras and toys to have you jumping right into the water next weekend.

Taking her out of winter storage this weekend and cleaning her up a bit — more pictures to follow.

Looks like a nice boat. I have something similar. Curious - at Lake Tahoe altitude - what top speed do you get and at what RPMSs?

Hi there. Thanks. So there's a long answer (which highly depends on lake conditions, how weighted down I am with guests, fuel, toys, etc. ) and a short one. Right now, though, I max out at about 43-ish mph with 4-5 folks on board and pushing ~ 6700-6800 rpm. It took a bit of work to get this performance, though. I did a ribbon delete (removed a steal mesh in the throttle), replaced my air filters with a high performance version, and upgraded to altitude pitched impellers. Before I did all this I probably maxed out at about 34-ish mph and 6400 rpm (or something like that).

I just got done at Big Bear (6800 feet) - max speed with a light load was 38, medium load was more like 34-35. RPMs were max at 6300-6500. I'm thinking Ribbon delete is (although I do have high performance air filters) my next step. I haven't heard anyone regret their decision to do this

 

[Tahoe CAL]

yea, I think you'll be happy with the decision. good luck!

Depends on where you intend to boat most of the time. If you are going to be at BB a lot then you need a set of high altitude pitched impellers. You need to pick up 900-1000 rpms and the ribbon delete isn’t going to get you there.
