Hate to do it, but our family's gone to a BIG cabin cruiser, which means I have to sell my 2011 Yamaha AR240HO bow rider jet boat. I'm the second owner (purchased from a Yamaha boat dealer) & have the title in-hand. Asking $33,500.
I've uploaded a few photos, but I have an entire gallery of high-res pics and walk-through video here: https://goo.gl/photos/idjGFoBCS7vQn8Rt7
Features:
Twin 1.8L I-4 jet drives. Impellers don't have any dings or chips.
Wakeboard tower and bimini. Both are in great shape.
Just shy of 24' long, and has a draft of just 16."
Cobra jet steering.
I had both a Raymarine a78 chartplotter, transducer and VHF with antenna professionally installed. Very high priced and they rock! The Raymarine and VHF are wired together, so the GPS coordinates from the chartplotter also go the VHF. If you were ever in need of assistance, this is a big safety feature. There's also a compass located between the steering wheel & gauges
SeaDek non-skid flooring from bow to stern. Once you go SeaDek, you'll never go back. I also have the factory carpet (never used).
Dual batteries (one starter/one deep cycle) are installed with a battery switch.
The boat will come with all the tables (one for the interior, one for the swim platform), seat cushions (bow and port) and a port-a-potty for the changing room.
I have the all-weather cover and poles (though I've never used it). Stored inside.
The boat has an aftermarket steering wheel (because it's red and looks good), but I also have the original.
There's a freshwater shower on the rear swim platform. The tank is located on the starboard port side. Very handy when it comes to rinsing off.
Trailer Features:
Galvanized tandem axle trailer with surge brakes (yes they work).
I swapped out the rear lights to LED for better visibility.
Last winter, I did a trailer overhaul and replaced the following items -- Shackles, springs, equalizers, bolts, nuts, new wood bunks, bunk carpet, stainless steel staples, galvanized lag bolts. You can see my posts regarding it.
Tires and galvanized wheels are less than 1 year old and have maybe 600 miles on them.
Maintenance:
I've used this boat in both the intra-coastal (Halifax River) and fresh water lakes in Orlando. After each use, both engines were flushed with water and salt-terminator. The entire boat (inside and out) was also hand washed and dried after each use. The engines, steering linkage, jet drives and anything else metal was also sprayed with Boeshield T-9 afterward too. I'm very particular with the maintenance and upkeep. Oil recently changed with Yamalube oil and factory Yamaha filter. Boat was freshly compounded and waxed two months ago. Water beads up incredibly well.
With less than 100 hours, the boat is in great condition. It does have wear and tear though, as any boat that's used will have. Few light scratches on the stainless steel rub rail, little corrosion on the hatch latches and the pin-striping could benefit from being replaced. All of this is normal for this boat. Feel free to call/email me if you have any questions. The boat is all there and is ready to go.
