Hello Everyone!

I lurked here for a month or so before deciding to join the club and get a used 2012 242 Limited S I found on Boat Trader. After a few weeks of going back and forth with the seller, getting the inspection done and sea trial and all that I finally brought it home this past weekend. It was bone stock and had 27 hours on it.

So far I've done the maintenance (oil, plugs, grease) and installed a battery charger. I've ordered a set of Cobrajet Steering Ulitmates and a Ramp n Clamp to hopefully install this weekend.

So thanks to everyone who contributes here, I've read most posts for the 24' boats going back a year or two and that info was really helpful in making my decision to pull the trigger.

Welcome! I know you have already spent some money on your new addition but hold on to your wallet, this group has a way of causing you to spend money, haha.

Yep! Had a great experience with them, they sold the seller the boat when new and did the inspection for me.
