Sold boat

[Scott griffith]

Decided to sale the boat after one of the motors throwed a rod . Was talking with a guy about a motor and he made me a offer I couldn't turn down so I had to let it go . So now on the look for another .

Are you sticking jet or making a move?

 

[Scott griffith]

Staying with jet didn't really want to sale but I couldn't turn down what he offered . Had the boat a little over 4 years and got what I had in it

Congratulations if you use the boat for four years blew a motor and were able to sell it for what you paid for it you did great

 

[Scott griffith]

Yes that was what I was thinking now to find a new one

Congrats on the sale! Did you try to figure out why it threw a rode?

 

[Beachbummer]

and...Do you know what you want to replace it with?

Thinkn about a 06 to 09 230 unless I just find a hell of a deal on. Something newer

 

[Beachbummer]

The jump from 09 to 10 is around $15K on the lowest possible price. I'm not a super fan of the styling of the 240 with the wider bow, because I did not like tri-hull type, and it reminds me of that, but the newer 1.8 Engines might be worth it if you want to have that. I have not seen many 240s under $35k or so. but right now is the right time to buy for sure, before spring comes. Best of luck! I'm sorry your 230 failed like that. Any clues as to what happened? I have an 08 and I hope it lasts for a LONG time...so far so good, but I've only had it 3 years.
I lied, looks like AR and SX 240s below $35k is normal.
Used 2012 YAMAHA AR240, Gainesville, Ga - 30501 - BoatTrader.com

Yea I'm not a fan of the 240 either . Really hope I can find a nice 08 . There are a bunch of blue ones but I'm not a fan of blue . It slung a rod

I found mine on search tempest 700 miles away. They are out there, I'm sure you will find what you are looking for.
