Whats's Up Guys. Another New B.

[techno]

New to the board but not to boating. It's time for an upgrade and am considering making the move over to a Yamaha 240 or 242. I have always had sterndrive type boats. Most recently a Sea Ray 190. Any info from other that made the switch would be helpful. My main concern is the noise level from the engines.

Welcome Dave! Great name.. same as mine..lol

I have a 2019 SX190 and I came from a life of stern drives. Love the jet, takes a little getting used to with docking and putting on trailer but this is by far my favorite boat. As far as the noise I don’t find it any worse than an I/O. Hope that helps.

I’m a new owner myself,I had same concern about the noise level, once i test drove mine i’m Not sure what all the complaints are about. To me it isn’t any/or much louder than a stern drive V8. I noticed if i try to slowly take off its louder than if I give it throttle to plane and then back off a little. I have not got to spend lot of time on mine yet, summer seems so far away

Welcome! I switched from a 2006 Sea Ray 185 sport. I've been out on a number of jet boats and made the switch as well.
