He did say he has had other lookers but the were young guys who didn't have the money handy , they had to get financing and that was the last he saw of them. My buddy is taking money with us.

With any luck you'll be bringing home a 242. Good "hunting"...Russ

Hey what's wrong with young people! We prop up the lower end of the market!

But one other thought. When I was looking for a 242, bank would only finance the book value of the boat...book is probably quite a bit less than the asking price...so unless the buyer has the cash to cover the gap financing would be tough. Not sure if banks use NADA or BUC or both.

So did you friend tow this boat home?

Chuck,
Books did range from 17K to 23k.....asking price was 28.5 I beleive, We got back @ 2 am this morning with the boat in tow ( never made it there last weekend). Pics to follow...gatta get some breakfast right now

PS It's a keeper

Stupid me , I left the camera on the puter table yesterday but here's a couple of rainy shots today

Pardon the duct tape on the cover. We used the old cover to trailer home. Came with a brand new cover and a 502 Mag

An absolutely pristine one sold here last year for 25k with 300 hours and a freshly rebuilt 502 bowtie block to Hp500+ specs. Nice boats.

Congrats, To your friend looks very nice, hope your friend has a chance to put a couple of hours on it before winter.

Weekend doesn't look real good but he has to work anyway). He's hoping for one day next week. We sea trialed in on a VERY wind Lake Ontario yesterday which was somewhat limited due to the conditions.

Very clean looking 242. Great boats, I still miss mine.
