Much flatter hulls and not as good a ride as you might be used to from your 242. I went from a 1991 242SS to a 1996 330SS and the ride was totally different. The 330 has only a 20 degree hull and pounds a bit. I noticed on the current generation of Sun Sports, Formula has increased the deadrise a bit.

If you stay in the FasTec line, no worries.
Very true statement! I went from a 311 to a 330ss and my only only complaint is the ride is much different at speed. In terms of layout the 330 has more usable space.

I will say for a 242 to take up as much real estate it is quite cramped for more than 4 people.
