I m a new at all of this, I m looking into buying a 2015 Yamaha 242 S limited, my credit is perfect and I need to know what is a good price to start negotiating with the dealer and what other freebies I should be asking. For example 5 years warranty! also, I found that Chaparral offers a jet boat as well, what do you guys think is a better boat with better options?

Congrats on the new boat. Yamaha did a great job of listening to their owners and making upgrades to the 2015 24' boats that addressed our concerns. I think you are going to be VERY happen. The best part is that this forum can answer any question that comes up regarding your new boat and keep you on the water instead of at the dealership.
