    Where in the country to buy my New Yamaha

    So far RiverValley Rochester MN was my cheapest quote, so it seems RiverValley generally speaking are very reasonable prices. Do you recommend phone for quotes rather than emailing?

    Who got the best deal on their 242?

    Who did you buy that from?

    Where in the country to buy my New Yamaha

    Which dealer in Minnesota did you buy from? It has been said above by someone "Sales tax is charged when it is registered" I have started to toy with the idea of buying the boat, getting it run-in and having some fun on some US fresh water lakes for say 1-2 weeks solid... enough time to find...

    Rainy season in Thailand time to put some ideas into practice ( 2006 AR 230 bow seating headrests )

    Indeed, Krabi province is known for it's limestone mountains and some are bold enough to climb them! I can't think of a nicer place in the world to be boating and I am lucky enough to call it home.

    Who has a BLUE 242X E Series?

    Actually, I finally found a dealer who has taken some good pictures of a Blue 242X and answered my own question. http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2018-yamaha-242x-e-series-103153460 Looks 50 times better in blue than in red in my eyes... Yamaha are crazy not to offer pics of both colors...

    Who has a BLUE 242X E Series?

    Who here has a Blue 2018 242X E same as what is available from Yamaha now? The reason I ask is that Yamaha in all their wisdom doesn't show pictures if the Blue on their website, only the Red one. I would really like to see some pics of the current blue 242X if anyone can help me out?

    1.8L Engine from 242

    Thanks guys. I got myself all mixed up with SVHO and HO and really it's pretty clear from the website, just I was suffering information overload.

    Towing a Jetski with a 242 Limited S-E

    Seems to work just fine. I emailed Towdster and asked them which of their products they recommended for my 242 and a 750lbs 3 seater 12' long PWC. They said they Y shape not the V shape and sent me the above YouTube.

    Towing a Jetski with a 242 Limited S-E

    Boooo Ya My friend, I owe you a beer. :winkingthumbsup" LOL. Very true. They are not exactly cheap. But I don't mind, as they serve a wonderful purpose. I think you could hack one together really fast with PVC pipe and some hammocks, but I am the guy who buys the Towdster and tips his hat...

    New owner from Down under

    G'day from a fellow Aussie, though I live in Thailand now. May I ask a couple of questions as I am going to go through the same process? Who did you buy it from, and why did you select them? What did it cost for the shipping? Did you go the US at all?

    Where in the country to buy my New Yamaha

    So the closer to the factory the dealer is, the cheaper is might be? Anyone know where the factory is?

    Towing a Jetski with a 242 Limited S-E

    I think I'll stop pretending my 242 is a superyacht and that I can bring all my toys with me.

    Do you think Dinghy Davits will hold a 750lbs 3 seater PWC?

    1.8L Engine from 242

    Is there a 2018 model of Wave Runner that has exactly the same engine as a 242? being the 1.8L with no supercharger. I'm thinking that if I own a 242, I would like to have the same engine so that all repairs/parts/servicing/oils/filters etc for all my toys are the same.

    Towing a Jetski with a 242 Limited S-E

    When I get my new boat I will also consider getting a nice big Yamaha Jet-Ski to go with it. Would you just tow the Jet-Ski behind the boat? How far behind? and would you have any concerns going WOT in a straight line on the ocean with fairly calm waters, with said Jet-Ski behind you being towed?
