Today we said goodbye to our Yamaha, it gave us 10 years of trouble free memories. I didn't know how I would feel, but I'm not going to lie I'm bummed. Good news is I'm going to order a new boat, we just need to do a demo before we are 100% sure. We have to wait a few weeks for our dealer to get their next boat in before we can demo.

This will probably be our next boat.

I feel your pain; our 242 was the easily the funnest (is that even a word?!) boat we have owned. For us, our shallow home dock made the decision to move to an outboard a no brainer, but I'll always remember the fun factor!

Dang dude! That’s nice!
Thanks, I'm pretty excited, but the wait is going to kill me if we order. The boat dealer has 3 boats coming in by the end of fall and if we like any of them we may not order. The guy that bought our boat is from Greensburg and he may frequent our pool, so if you see the Yamaha and they don't say hi it's not me.

Super nice boat! I have a few friends on the lake with the NXT 20. It’s a great platform for water sports and super easy to drive. Fit and finish is top notch. The 2020/2021 models have added a bunch of new electronics especially for surf control.

They did a great job with the 2020, its bigger, 6.0L Ilmor is standard, upgraded vinyl, it's a sexy boat
