Got her out in the water yesterday for the first time. I love how smooth this thing rides. And the room compared to our ls 2000 is amazing. Going to love this boat for many years!!IMG_14991.jpgIMG_15361.jpg

I’m actually feeling envious!!!

Those are the best yammies ever, I almost got a 2009 242ls three years ago but the eBay sale fell through and I ended up with a new 2016. I’ve learned to love my 2016 240, but I’m still slightly tempted to go back and get myself a nice 2008, or 2009 232!

I have not been on many of the newer boats but I can say the feel of the materials on this 08 is great. Everything feels heavy / Thick. Knocking on the hull sounds dense. The seat cushions feel well made as do the compartments underneath. The ski locker in this this is a huge cavern. I think I could lay down in it with no problem at all!!

Congratulations,
update your profile with your new boat and add a signature line with your old boat so we remember your 2stroke knowledge base,

be sure to look through the list of issues in my signature,

I'm just glad I won't have to follow behind your last stinky boat anymore:)
@buckbuck , so am I!! Although it will be for sale in a couple of weeks. Who knows maybe someone from here will buy it and come to Shelbyville. Then we will all be following behind it😁😁

I have had your boat sitting in my driveway before. You got a sweetheart. I know you and your wife will take good care of it.

I have this same boat and I’m loving the way yours looks with that tower and seadek. I probably won’t ever buy a tower, but I’m definitely getting the seadek.

Thank you, we love this boat. We were not looking for a tower when we bought it but it is a plus. I have sea deck in my LS2000 and love it. That was a must have for us in our search for a new boat, it makes clean up easy. Also upgrades the look of a boat and does not get the nasty stink that carpet gets. If I am not mistaken there is a group buy going on now from @JetBoatPilot where you can save a lot of money on a sea deck kit.
