I looked into the 232 L and LS before I bought a used 242 LS. The easiest way to explain the differences are to compare them to the 240s. That is, the 232 L is comparable to 242 L whereas the 230 is comparable to a SX 240 or AR 240 depending on if the 230 has a tower or not. The high level overview is that the 232 comes stock with SS cup holders, swim deck seat cushions, berber carpet and I think a fresh water wash down system. The compartments, especially the head compartment is finished/carpeted and the stereo may be an upgrade to the 230's as well. The towers on a 232 LS is forward swept like the 242s, and it probably doesn't fold (since Yamaha didn't introduce that feature in the 242 LS towers until 2012. the 232 LS's tower may also have integrated lights and speakers but I doubt it. Oh, also, I think the 232s only came in tan. If Yamaha followed the same basic themes than the 232 L will have to captains chairs and the LS will have one plus a convertible lounger.

This answer was so good, I found myself reading it twice! (But it seemed different the second time I read it!)

I really wanted a 232LS when I was looking but there were very few to find for sale.
I looked at a couple 232L boats, the above post(s) pretty much sums it up.
Carpet, swim deck shower/cushions, different radio/swim deck remote...
I don't remember the head compartment being different than what my '09 AR is.

Sorry about that, my PC is doing funny things lately.
