Man I like my 242
Coming from a 97 250 Sundancer. Bought a 86 242LS. 260/Alpha. Anyway the kids never come with us and it was a pain to winterize. I was in 2’ chop yesterday on Saginaw bay and I was cruising at 3,000 rpm at 30 mph. (GPS) smooth ride, my DA pounded hard if I would try that, great handling boat, lovin it.

I grew up in offshore fishing boats. Family has had wellcraft, sea safe, sea craft, sea hunt, numerous contenders. I wanted a formula, if I fish I'll go with them. I love pounding waves in the formula. It's a whole different ballgame.

I'm still missing a lot of the functionality of the cruiser style boat.
After a few short weeks of owning the 242ss, i'm already looking to upgrade! The 272ss and 351 look fun, but i'm hoping to get into a 330 or 400SS.
I think they're the perfect boat!

I can see i won't love how close they are together. My last two boats had more room in the engine compartment than my 242 has on the deck! LOL
