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.

One thing Formula has always done is split the sh/t. I love coming through the inlet slop an blowing by one of those 90 mph flats boats while everybody in it is trying to keep the cooler from flying out. You guys are all hooked... see you in rehab.

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
