242 SS with singel 454 330 hp how fast?

242 SS vs 242 LS any performance difference?

Consider to buy a 1988 242 SS singel 454 330 hp

low 50's with the 330, no performance differance just depends on how you like the layouts for comfort SS to me is a nicer day boat for hanging out on it more cockpit room

The LS will be a few MPH faster because there is less weight forward. It will pull the bow out just a tad more than the SS will. I like the running attitude of the LS better too, it feels lighter the way it rides.

my 242ls ran 57 all the time with the mag, 59.8 once:Dwho knows maybe it did go 60 once but them marks were when I had gps

57 - 60 not bad, how many hp is the 454 magnum?

I had a 1987 26 Scarab exel with 350 magnum it went 54
it was 270 hp at that time. The Scarab hull is lighter and faster maybe.

88242LS 11-25-2007 10:43 AM

the 242 is a heavy boat, hp on a mag is 365hp

Had a 242 than a 292ls. Both great boats but not the fastest.
