242 is a much better boat all around! and is actually bigger

That seems to be the official truth. However, boating in waters that are notorious for breaking hulls with sharp chop (Fountain hull warranty claim capital, some say), I can't really say I prefer one over another. I clocked several hundreds of hours on my 242 and last couple of weeks with a 252 have showed little difference. A thorough side by side comparison would be interesting to read.

Any one still looking here is a beautiful 242 ls!!!!

someone's always looking

hours but appears nice with bolsters

I would like to revitalize this thread. I am now looking for a 242. My goal is to find a 1986 because I like the squared windshield. I find it more classic looking. Big block as well. Any help would be much appreciated. I'll drive almost anywhere to get a clean one. I am not totally against a real clean 87 to 89. 88242, did you sell yours? Thanks

Sorry but couldn't sell. My 2 son's are plotting to float her this year and with a brand new fresh water cooled 8.1 375hpMAG and a 2001 Bravo I outdrive and SS Prop with about 150 hours, I doubt I could replace her. Just Engine and Prop worth $20k without hull.
