Just came in from trialing my new '18 242 LS with Cobra Jet's Magnum AK steering upgrade and I couldn't be more pleased. We traded in a '13 with Thrust Vectors which worked great for low speed handling, and of course that boat alrerady handled fine on plane. New boat was a total dog at low and high speed thanks to the addition of the keel and "articulating keel" (also known as Insufficiently Large Rudder). Now the new boat handles like a dream, the maneuvering around docks is especially fine. Also no more "hunting" which wears me out in about 5 minutes. On plane, very responsive and no longer takes a football field's length to make a 90 degree turn. Of course Jeff was fantastic in the customer service department. So here's a shout out to Jeff and Will for doing the hard work that Yamaha was either unable or unwilling to do!
