Yesterday I became the new owner of a Yamaha 2013 sx240. 164 hours, very minimal Hull stuffs, thrust vectors, lateral thrusters, new trailering cover, new sea decking. Boat is in great shape. I completely checked everything over and only issue is the port side jet is slightly off maybe a few degrees when starboard is straight. Looks like simple adjustment. Test drive went great. Trailer has new bearings, tires and spare, surge brakes and swing away tongue. Picked it up for $27,000, I felt preetty good about the price. Attached a few pics

You should be.
I have a 2012 and you will have to shot me before I sign on the tittle for less than $40K.

I think you got a great deal! Congrats! Don’t hate me though but my first project would be replacing that SeaDek color. That boat is too pretty for that blue.

Dont hate me!!! 🤪

Haha when we were headed to look at it, we already talking about doing that but in person we both loved it. Few others loved in person as well. We’ll leave it for a while and see if we want to change it out.

Haha this site is about honesty! I hesitated 15 time before writing it. Such a pretty boat though. Really think he got a helluva deal and to be honest I’m jealous! New SeaDek and I’ll be offering a case of beer to come hang out on it.

Just having fun, hope there was no offense taken.

To be honest, you got a good enough deal on the boat, it's an easy thing to keep in the back of your mind that you can change it if the color didn't grow on you. It's a great deal in my eyes, with some potential landscaping in the future!

Heck, they swapped the graphics on the outside and kept it tasteful.

Enjoy it!

Def no offense taken. I like hearing what everybody thinks. Have few plans for it, I’m sure they’ll be more as we get on the water
