Good luck, it's hard waiting but if your offer is fair, he should call you! :)

it is certainly fair, we are only 1200$ apart, his asking price was 18000$

yes boats in europe are pricey than in the us :(

Today the big day, the owner of the 242LS agreed to my offer, first a trial run and if everything is in order, I take him home. :)

Let us know how it goes

Everything went well, the boat is in excellent condition.
I brought him right back home :)

Now clean up well and he is ready for the summer. :)

Not twice ;)

Good news, congrats!

Don't forget to post some photos....... :)

Ok thanks :)

Nice!

Congrats very nice

Just an update, the boat is completely cleaned up :)
Now we have seen the white button of the fader system of the speakers is aborted, the axis is too short to restore it. Does anyone know if that part is still to buy?
More photos are still to come but there is snow in Belgium :(

Today we get the formula out for the first time, engine turns like a swisse watch :-) only top speed was a bit disappointing... 48mph but then we saw that the trim tabs were totaly down :faint2: so if they were both up it would still have to make a big difference I think.
Now there we have a vengeance 19p prop on it. What should be top speed of a 242 ls with a 7,4 bravo engine?

Looks good, with a 330hp engine it should run 52ish, but dragging tabs would slow you down.

What rpms are you turning with the 19? You want to be around 4600 with that engine

With the tabs down it can run 4900rpm, with the flaps down he does easily 4950rpm, which prop would best fit for allround use?

21 mirage, maybe 21 mirage plus.

I have a 21 mirage but that has been damaged, so that I can't use it anymore.
Would he come out off the water fast enough yet with the 21?

Our power is a little different but from what I've noticed, my 19p 4 blade vs my 23 mirage plus. They both came out of the hole well. I would think if you come across a 21 mirage plus you could come out of the hole well.
