I ended up buying 2019 Nautique G23 ... thanks for everyone's help. Jay is a great guy! If you want a yamaha this is a great one!!!
Hey Jay - Have you seen/driven the 255? I have a 2020 242xe like yours and was considering the same move as you are. I am not sure I could get used to the color. I would really like the automatic wakeboosters. the manual wakebooster is a pain in the butt.
Not in person, Yea it’s a tough call I love this boat, I think both boats have there pros, 242 has a larger Bimini, soft ballast bags, I like how the swim platform looks better, white boat is easier to keep clean, 255 has automatic wakebooster, bigger fuel tank supercharged and drive control, latest and greatest, either way they are both nice boats
The soft ballast bags in the 242 is a big pro for storage over the 255. I've been on the prototype 255XD and the hard ballast tanks take up most of the storage in the back half of the boat, basically leaving the head compartment and bow as the only storage areas.
