New to me 242 first ride
#11
I bought 86242ls boat in February out in Chicago. He said the motor was about that much, though I don't think it was dyno tested. Holly carb , Wieand TeamG dual plane, Crane roller cam, forged crank, Eddie Marine exhaust, Actual estimate is 400 HP , not 375. 1.50 Bravo one drive. Yesterday I found 3000 rpm gave me around 30 mph. It was really hard to quatify anything as there was a lot of boat traffic and no wake zones. I will document more next weekend

Thanks for chiming in Steven. Did not want to bother you with personal e-mail. So cruise is where it should be and I still have to test full throttle . The trim gauge barely moves so its hard for me at this time to tell where the drive is exactly. With time I will get the feel of it. Boat is beautiful and I'm already getting stares and compliments. Of course the stares could just be my rusty docking. Mark.

Sounds like there was some well thought out engineering put into that boat....strong BBC w/Bravo 1 in an '86 242 LS...NICE. The 60 plus is a reality with 65 being possible with a tuned 21" Mirage Plus.
You got yourself something real special mister!!
