She’s a 2017 Limited E. After an extensive walthrough, the dealer stated she had 10hrs on her. Dug a little deeper and made a laundry list of replacement & rework items before taking delivery, which included removing gel coat chips & scuffs (from demos), rusted metal bits which seeped rust stains onto the white gel coat, corroded jet pump anodes, and weathered rear sea deck. Looking forward to this baby!

@tonyGinFL love that color!!! congrats
Thanks Benny - I actually wanted Black (as in the 2018 Ltd S/E -couldn’t justify $70k). Will have Jaxwraps wrap it in black, and leave grey above the bumper guard as an accent. I’ll also swap out the Bimini for an AR/Ltd S wake tower w black Bimini.

Been wanting a 242 for a while now, coming off a 21’ Rinker outdrive. We’re very excited.
