You've read the title correct, Mikey's 2016 242 Limited S E-Series is now for sale. Miss Barbie has contacted me and asked if I can help her in selling their Yamaha which was purchased in the fall of 2015 right as Mikey got sick.

- JBP Red Thrust Vector XV's
- Upgraded stereo system, JL Speakers, JL Amp, & Rockford Fosgate Amp/Subwoofer.
- Extra Seadeck.
- Minn Kota MK-330PC 3-Bank Charger.
- Optima Batteries.
- CIPA Clamp-on Vision 180 Mirror.
- Bow & Cockpit Covers.
- Blue underwater LED's. (new update)
- The boat has been used a few times this summer and probably has less than 20 hours on it.
- Asking price, $52,000

Here is what I current don't know about the boat:
- What else is included with the boat, i.e. life vests, anchors, fenders, ropes, etc.

For a minute I thought Mikey was back with us. Didn't he always sign off with ya'll play nice? That is a beautiful boat.

I really like that you put the text in the ad in different colors, Mikey would be proud.

From Mikey's profile, these are the upgrades that he had listed; JBP RED Thrust Vector XV's, Extra SeaDek; Minn Kota MK-330PC 3-Bank Charger; OPTIMA Blues; CIPA® Clamp-on Vision 180 Mirror; Bow & Cockpit Covers; JL Speakers; JL Amp; Rockford-Fosgate Amp/SubWoofer.

I hope Miss Barbie is doing well, and I was happy to see his Emerald Zoysia still looks marvelous.

Thanks for the add of Mikey's profile info, I will update the first post. Putting the text in color was definitely my way of honoring Mikey, boy I sure miss his posts and our talks.

Miss Barbie is doing well, still a lot to take care of but she is moving forward. Her plan is to sell the lake house with the beautiful Emerald Zoysia yard and move closer to her son in the suburbs of Atlanta.

@Andy S Beautifully done, Sir.

Holy cow. Son of a sea captain. Unreal.
Whoever gets this boat will be an instant legend here.

I would consider buying, if I did not JUST purchase one.

I believe she would give you a very fair deal. I would even put in a good word for you.

I so wish I was ready to move up now. I'd be on my way down there tomorrow if I were!

Fairly new to the forum, and meaning no disrespect....who was Mikey?

MikeyL was a notable member (https://jetboaters.net/members) with over 2700 posts up until his passing earlier this year.

He was an exceptionally helpful forum member, and just a hell of a nice guy.

He would often give us sneak peek info on new Yamaha's launching as they were tested on his Lake frequently.

@Andy S provided a memorial summary here:

He was a member here with great posts, colorful posts, awesome meme's especially for the new welcomes, loved his miss Barbie etc.
I am sure more will/can be said by others!

@MikeyL was a fun loving, colorful and very active member of the forum who enjoyed greeting everyone, boating, fishing, grilling and caring for his zoysia grass. He often included his wife Miss Barbie in his posts. He became ill and passed quickly after buying this beautiful boat. This is is profile https://jetboaters.net/members/mikeyl.283/

Mikey had connections with Yamaha. He very likely was the first non employee to see the E-Series boats and I am sure was the first to order one. He spared no expense in the purchase or maintenance of his boats so his will be one of the best examples.

Unfortunately I am only allowed to buy blue boats.

This post makes me happy and sad at the same time...

 

[captras]

Thanks for the replies.....sounds like Mikey was a valued member....Obviously didnt know him, but sad to lose any member. This is a great site!

Hypothetically speaking, would a 2016 242 fit on a 2010 AR240 trailer for about a 12 hour one way tow??

I would think so, with the '16 only being 6" longer than than the '10 it shouldn't be a big deal.

I agree. It should fit on the trailer without any problem.
