buying a 87 242 sr-1 how fast?
 

i am buying a 1987 242 sr-1 with twin 350 magnums and alpha drives,bolster seats. looking for estimated top speed,and cruising fuel consumption any issues with these boats? it is a fresh water extremely clean boat super pumped they look so cool!!
thanks scott

Is this the blue one that was on ebay?? that boat looked clean and at 11500 was a steal, I ve heard the twin 350 242 runs low 60's but cannot confirm, I had a 88 242 with a single 454 and loved it

65 mph is what I've always heard. But, no first hand knowledge. Nice rig, show us some pics. These are fairly rare boats, if it's nice, it's worth having and keeping. You know what they say............. someday................

There is one for sale in N.H. red I beleive.

it was originally from NH fresh water boat. interior is perfect!!boat is reall clean got it for 11k seemed like a smoking deal??any way i will post some pics.
thanks scott
ps i will post top speed after this weekend.

Great boat, good luck and enjoy!

cool dog!

62- 65 depending on load. If you bought the one from NH 11k is awsome it has been for sale for upto 15-18k without trailer for over the last two+ years.


Bowen nice looking corso
