Do any of the 24 foot boats have the convertinlevchaise lounge like my SX230, or are they all dual bucket seats?
 
I think they stopped around 2015 when they went to the new interior. You’d have to find a 2014 or earlier I believe but don’t hold me to that.
 
What @haknslash said, the pre-2015s had that.
The 2015+ have generally higher freeboard and great hull, but the seats int he back of the cockpit have very short back supports, I like the older style vinyl way more!
Except that seats are hinged in the 2015+ MY 240/242s - and that is GREAT.

And that's another reason, we may be hard-pressed to upgrade our 2015 212X. The J-Seating is a lot nicer for our usage than the dual bucket seats!
 
The 2010-2014 240/242 have the J seating that u want. These also have the 1.8L HO engines, so same as the 240/242 2015 and up. Good luck on ur hunt.??

Am I right in saying the 24' AR's of that vintage were J-seating, and the SX's had dual captain chairs? I have not seen too many 24' SX's, but it seems familiar.

Here is a 2014 242 Limited, rather than the Limited S.

Yes SX of that era was dual captains chair (strangely passenger side sits higher than drivers IIRC). The higher trim AR and Limited S got the convertible J-seating.
