Yamaha 242 that I'm considering and would like some feedback

That thing is almost a mirror image of my boat ( besides the tower speakers and hours) I think the price is in the ball park. Maybe get it down a little bit.
 
Its an expensive boat.... but its also an expensive boat. I think price is in the neighborhood, he has a lot of nice upvrades that will contribute to the boat. It has a setup to help with wakesurfing and other watersports, and a fancy stereo.

I wouldnt be ashamed to own that boat at all...
 
For reference I bought the same boat stock this past September, 35 hours with trailer and extended warranty out the door for $61k...included taxes and winter storage. I’m in NC
 
I Paid 69,300 + TTL for a 2019 242X two months ago.
 
That's a great looking boat! I paid $50k for my 2017 242 Limited S E-Series from a private seller. It does not have all the upgrades that boat has but it only had 84 hours. Seems there is nothing more to add to that boat! I think $60 from a dealer is a good deal.
 
That's a great looking boat and it sounds like it is pretty well equipped.

Depending on where and how it was used, the hours are about right. I have about 132 hours on mine after two seasons. I put about t80 on it the first season and 60 last year. That's in about 4-5 months of usage time each summer. In the overall scheme of things that number of hours is basically nothing on these engines.
