Wow..Great listing! Whats your plan...upgrading?
 
Yeah, eventually.

But first another rental property and possibly a pool.
 
Good Luck..shouldn't have a problem these days.
 
Wow.
Amazing boat. Awesome setup.
I would argue this is Yamaha's best X-tower, they started cutting corners with the newer ones. This tower is bad azz, retails new about 14k, uninstalled... (otherwise I would have one on top of my AR240, lol).

I hope you stick around forum, love reading your posts!

I have the same exact boat with almost identical hours and accessories purchased last spring (pre-pandemic pricing). I would love to know what its worth today, I'm fairly certain I can get more than I paid for it. I look forward to following your sale, good luck!

I plan on sticking around.

The wife wants a 27ft yamaha. But she also wants a lake house. I'm trying to get to where I can buy the lake house, so that I can get 27ft for her.
 
Bump

Sold today to a gentleman from the Lake Lanier area. Says he been lurking around the forum a bit, and that he planning on joining. Hopefully he does, the info here is priceless.
 
mind if i ask what you sold for?
 
Asking price.
 
nice- congrats@!
 
Asking price.

$70K - NICE WORK!!! I bought my 2017 242x same color scheme, same hours, similarly equipped for $18K less a year ago pre-pandemic pricing. Good to know it’s worth more than I bought it for. As much as we love it, It would be hard for me to say no to a $70K offer. Congrats!!!
