Old school 242 or late 90's 271??
 
Greetings all! It's time for another boat. Just trying to get some thoughts from the experts. Should I go with an old school 242 or get the tech of a stepped hull and injection of a 271? Any thoughts, comments appreciated.

What's the issue with the 292?

Later is usually better. Better hull technology for fuel and speed

Even you have looked for a newer larder hull for your power!! Lol

No Issue's with 292.. Guy followed me to the ramp and made an offer I could not say no too. Did they make a 271 with a bravo III??

I owned both, 242 first boat, 271 second boat both had a cpl minor things that was nicer then the other, buy the nicest one u find, my thoughts are u would be happiest with a 98-up 271 with the fastech technology

oh6662b 02-26-2014 07:06 PM

Thats what im leaning towards the 271. Was your 271 with the 502? I was told those will hit 68mph, That seams a bit optimistic

I have 2005 271 fastech and it is a great boat handles rough water well,fit and finish is awesome.I won't be looking to buy for awhile very happy so far.Good luck with your purchase.Bill
