here's the thing...the SS's still ride good enough that unless you jump back and forth between the two you aren't going to know the difference and the overall difference isn't that much...you just happen to feel it differently based on what part of the hull you are sitting over too. I have never done a 242 ss vs ls ride comparison but like I said...space wise the SS is light years ahead of the LS making it a more useable day boat.

Purchase complete! 88 242 LS. Pictures are forthcoming.

congrats!!

Tried to post a pic, but can't :-/

242 ls
 

ive got one for sale with aluminum trailer

I have been reading here off and on, but I figured it was time to register. Anyway, I am also looking for a 223 or 242. If I get my choice I want a red 242 SS with a 454 mag and the split throttle/shift controls. I may not be able to find that so I would also consider other colors, engines, models, etc. If anyone has something or knows of one around let me know. Thanks.
