2011 Yamaha 242 Limited S, 160hrs, Greenville SC
Loaded, Like new, with Trailer...$42500 OBO
For sale is my 2011 Yamaha 242 Limited S. This is an extremely well maintained, option packed, highly upgraded, fast yet agile jet boat that is fun and easy to drive, and ready for anything you throw its way. This 24ft boat can easily hold 10-12 people with several adjustable seating options, and is powered by two 1.8L 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, 16-valve High Output Yamaha Marine engines, each with 180hp (total 360hp) with only 160 total hours. Easily gets up on plane in only a few seconds and has a max speed of about 50mph. The fuel tank is 50gal which provides a range of 100-150mi, with greatest fuel efficiency at around 35mph, and easily provides an entire weekend of fun on the water without needing to refuel.
This boat is perfect for a day of watersports due to its forward leaning tower, rear tow hook, low draft, and lack of an exposed prop for safety, as well as a day on the sandbar with its booming stereo, and its award winning transom platform with rear facing seats, low entry point, and full radio controls.
I have replaced and repaired all worn components including brand new reverse cables (~$300), brand new steering cables (~350$), brand new boat cover (2017)(~$800), new bimini top piping and cover (2017) (~$500), brand new bimini boot (2018) (~$150), all new deck hatch latches (~$100), and complete custom boat reupholstery of every seat and cushion (2018) (~$5500).
Features and accessories on this boat include the following:
-Aluminum Watersports tower with raised tow point, tower speakers, built in tweeters, and tower lighting
-Table and grill with mount
-Transom shower with extended hose
-Front and rear filler cushions
-6 bumpers with bumper ropes
-4 15’ dock ropes
-8 Life jackets
-Custom Faux Teak “seadek” on transom, walkthrough, and front
-Main anchor with 100ft of rope, as well as second anchor with 50ft of rope
-Battery charger, Battery converter
-Dual hose with splitter control valve for engine flushing
-Snap in/out carpet
-15 Stainless Steel Cupholders
-6 pop up cleats
-Captains seat with bolster
-Adjustable passenger seat (bench or forward facing)
Electronics Upgrades: I have completely overhauled the stereo, replacing all of the stock speakers, head unit and remote controller, cutting holes and adding two additional speakers to the center of the boat, adding tower speakers, two powerful amplifiers, a 12” subwoofer in a box under the font seat, and two 10” subwoofers mounted in the bench in the main cabin. This was professionally installed and tuned and can be heard loud and clear from several hundred feet away. I have also added two Deep Cycle batteries in parallel to power the house electronics, and tied the two original batteries in parallel to power the engine. Doing this provides plenty of power for a weekend on the water, never having to worry that the batteries will die on you. A full day on the water, running a total of 50mi, playing music for 8 hours, only drains about 25% of the house batteries, and about 15% of the engine batteries.

Lighting: The boat comes stock with docking lights, tower lights, courtesy lights, and front and rear nav light. I have upgraded the courtesy lights to a custom Blue LED light setup that will be perfect for night cruising. There are 12 lights throughout the boat that provide an awesome blue glow, as well as Blue LEDs for the two rear subwoofers that light to the beat of the music.

-All seats are brand new as of April 2018, in perfect condition
-Few scratches on side of boat due to docking
-Some gel coat has been worn away on bottom of boat due to beaching on sandbar
-No major gel coat chipping or any other minor/major fiberglass/hull damage
This is truly a one of a kind boat. I have put countless of hours of work and roughly $15000 into upgrading and updating everything. Why pay double the price for a brand new boat, when you can get this one, with such low hours, with twice as many options and upgrades. I am sad to let it go, but I am moving at the end of the summer and looking to upgrade to a larger center console. NADA boat average retail price is ~ 36k without options. With everything I have done to it, I am into it for about $50K. I am asking $42500, which is a steal for this boat. I have seen many similar boats listed with more hours, completely stock, listed between $38k and $42k. Get the boat of your dreams, make everyone jealous, avoid having to do all the work I have already done, and enjoy a boat that will last you many years and provide countless memories on the water.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions that you may have. I DO NOT have to sell this boat immediately as I am not moving until later this year and am willing to wait for the right buyer. $250 cash reward to whoever brings me a legit buyer. Make me an offer.
