Yamaha Boats, 242 Limited S Jet Boat Pros and Cons

Eddie how is the fishabilty on the boat.

thanks for the info i live in NY It's going to be a yamaha or scarab don't know which one yet still doing research...

I want to buy one but I'm afraid of the debris getting into the intake... have you had any problems with that

I made so much improvement to my 2014 242 LS that would make the 2015 jealous.

Great video!  thanks for some honest reviews of the boat.  So hard to find good reviews, people either think they are flawless, or horrible and there is not much in between.   The "professional" reviews feel more like sales pitches.   Was ready to buy about 4 years ago, took one for a test drive and walked away with 3 complaints, looks like Yamaha took care of 2 of those (engine noise & Tracking) with their 2015 models.   The 3rd complaint was wakeboarding related, but its less of an issue as I get older.  May take the plunge in a couple years when the kiddos are no longer toddlers.

Nice video. Thanks for pointing out some of the things you don't hear much about in the boating reviews. I'm looking to get a 2015+ 242 L/S next year.

Great insight!  I just purchased a 2015 242 LS, and I'm sure you saw they changed out the decking to the SeaDek material - good call.  I think the seat material is the same, but so far I have pretty good luck in cleaning it with Zymol vinyl cleaner.  Hey, have you been waxing your boat?  If so, the bottom as well?  Also, what product have you been using to clean the interior surfaces?  Been waxing interior too?  Lastly, I am about to attempt to do the initial 10 hour maintenance myself...I bought two Yamalube kits.  If you have done this task yourself...any tips?  Thanks, Rommel
