242 Limited S - Year by Year changes

[Bluewater272]

Apologies if this exists somewhere else, but I couldn't locate anything succinct - maybe this can serve that purpose.

Is there any place where I can see the differences between the different years of the Limited-S? I'm currently pretty well set on hunting down a leftover (or very lightly used) 17 next year, but I'm curious what the differences are going back further in the model years. Only thing I can visually see different on the '16 is that it doesn't have the snap on sea-dek - what changes did 16 bring over 15? etc.

This thread might be a good place to start. It has a lot of information about all of the Yamaha boats.

The 2015+ LS got the Connext screen and redesigned hull with increased sound deadening. 2012-2014 were the same boats. The difference between 2011-2012 was a folding tower and fixed oil coolers. 2010 and 2011 were basically the same.
