I have a feeling the Formula bolsters will be a tough find. I really want the Formula ones in gray and blue, but If I find a set any color, I do have a connection to get them changed at a resonable price. The square ones that aftermarket shops make just don't look near as nice.

I have a 1990 242ss with a 454mag/330hp.
WOT with 4 adults and a full tank of fuel see's 47mph (gps) at 4700rpm.
Cruises at 30mph at 3000rpm under the above conditions.
I really love this boat, she is an absolute joy to drive.
I am about to remove the swim platform from mine this winter, have any other 242 owners removed theirs? If so, id love to see a picture of the back end if poss.

R-Don, In the Formula section do a search on swim platforms, Yes, there have been a few members here that have taken the platform off . Thier should only be 4-6 bolts an it should come off.
Nice looking rig

242-502, first investment would be a prop, dont spin that BB to high, with more pitch youll see more speed and the rpm's should drop 4800-4900 is real sweet for topped out and not spinning them too hard.
