So you show me this AFTER I buy the other one...
 
:mad::banghead:
 
Y does the price differ SOOOOOOOO much based off the color, on Amazon?? Thats strange.
 
Not the greatest review!

"I REALLY wanted to love these things but they let me down on the cooler part.

The stacking design is cool and I use the colors to identify the contents. Red=meat, blue=drinks, green=veggies. The 25 quart models low-profile is designed for canned drinks but works great for meat and cheese products that are flat.

The problem is that this cooler sucks at being a cooler. There is no drain and the bottom is so thin that you can feel the cold coming out!

Summary: Fine for short outings but not to be counted on beyond a few hours."
 
I dont have mine yet. I just ordered it this morning. I stole that picture from @eggwhite93
Based on the picture, it looks like a near perfect fit.
 
For $19 I didnt expect it to be a Yeti but I like the size for it to be under the seat. The current one I used is in direct sun light out in the open so, naturally, the ice goes quick. These being in the shade may help. I will let you all know the results.
 
Ok, guys fill me in on what I am missing. This looks like a good deal, and maybe this is the wrong place to post this. As anyone in the Midwest looking for a 24' Yamaha should be interested as well.

http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/boa/5060898880.html

If this is anyone's boat on here, please reach out to me, as I am interested. With the release of the 2015 hulls, the prices of AR240 and 242LS from previous years have dropped huge. When I saw 242LS under $35K, they had my attention. When I see an AR240 under $25K, then I am calling my credit union.

So what am I missing. NADA is saying this vintage AR240 is a $27-$30K boat in good condition. What should I be looking for in that year? What about those engine covers? Those are not stock right? 2010 should be the latest 1.8ltr engines, but those covers look custom. I suppose a water test is the best way to find out.

I am working on a project next week in N Central Wisconsin, so the potential of driving my truck and checking it out are great. As always, your advice and comments are always welcome.

Thank you!

Also let me know if this would be appropriate in the general forum.
 
That looks like a clean boat to me. The covers are from jet boat pilot I believe. If so, there is a good chance it has thrust vectors as well. Bow roller has been upgraded and the trailer guides are after market as well. If the nada value is $25k to $30K the price is great and not one I would expect "in season". Still it could be a scam, if I were to check it out I'd ask to see and test drive it right away and would bring cash or a cashiers check with me. Oh, look for broken bolts or cracked cases on the oil coolers.
 
Ronnie, your advice is gold and greatly appreciated. It does look like CE Smith guide posts with the lights and possibly a keel shield is installed.

Thank you!
