Well I have been bitten by the jet boat bug and just purchased a 2020 242 Limited SE last night. The dealer is taking it to the Cleveland boat show this week so when it’s back, I will get to pick it up. I’m looking forward to the exchange of information as I have owned boats for over 30 years and this all new to me.

Welcome! This forum is a great resource full of wonderful boat loving people. It might take a few outings to get used to the differences of a jet boat, but you're going to love the thing.

Welcome @336intrepid. I have a 2019 of the same model. There are a number of us here from the Cleveland/Columbus/Cincinnati area, what will your home lake be?

Welcome to one of the best sites on the planet for jet boat lovers. Great boat, i picked up the same one in Sep 2019 but was only able to get out twice before boating season was over here in freezing MN. You will have a great time.

one thought, I hope the dealer is compensating you somehow for showing and demoing your boat at the show? Frankly, I would have said no way In hell.

I’m thinking for right now Summerville, WV or Tygart lake near Grafton WV.
We moved here a few years ago after being in the Bahamas for the last 20 years so we are going to have to figure out what works best.

Will you be at the boat show with a taser making sure everyone takes their shoes off lol
I wish I was going to be able to go BUT it’s probably better for me not to see it as it would probably drive me nuts to watch.

Well you are 100% correct as I did say not but then they became very generous and also agreed to delay final pmt and acceptance until it’s back from the show. There was no way I was letting them take a boat already titled to me and carry the liability. They also agreed that should I not accept the boat after the show they would reorder another one to my satisfaction.
