Hello Everyone,

Gabe from Southern California. First time boat owner. Just purchased a 2018 Yamaha 242 Limited S E. picked it up Friday Morning and headed out to Havasu (Colorado River).
Don't have much experience in owning a boat. Been on a lot of them, but never owned one, so I will be looking forward to learning a lot from all you seasoned boat owners:winkingthumbsup"
Thanks for this awesome site.

Congrats!!! Hopefully we'll see you out there in Havasu and on the river! We were just out there last week. If you have any questions about the boat, this forum is the best and definitely the most helpful.IMG_4475.JPG

Thanks for the Welcome everyone.
It's nice to come to a place where everyone has the same interest. A place where I can learn from fellow enthusiasts that have been there and done that.
For those of you that get out to Havasu, see you out on the water✌

What an awesome boat, nice color choice! Congrats and change out the trailer bow roller to an orange stoltz roller. Super easy mod takes a couple minutes and will save lots of scratches marks in the future that the stock yellow roller would have caused.

So would I be getting the 4" or 3" bow roller for the 24' trailer
