Been around I/o boats on lake Michigan my whole life but never had my own. I've been looking at the 24' boats on here for several years and I finally bought a blue 2017 ar240. Very impressed with the quickness and speed of this boat. I was also impressed at low speed manuvering, compared to a small 18 foot Bayliner this thing seems very predictable and actually does not wander as bad as the small boat. I'm very impressed!! It was worth the 1000 Mile drive from upper Michigan to southern Kansas to get it.

Nice. And welcome new Yamaha boat owner. I am also in Michigan, but Southeastern Lower Michigan about 20 miles from Lake St. Clair. If you are ever down this way with your boat, hit me up.

I will if I’m ever down that way. I wouldn’t mind checking out lake stClair. Definitely would like to check out torch lake someday too. Btw did you ever figure out your boat storage for the winter?

@906Tony Haven't figured out storage as of yet. Got side tracked with two software launches and apparently finally demoing and remodeling kitchen, meh, Admiral wants it done.
