I am looking for an older 242. Approx 1990-1995.
Is there a difference in the hull between the SS and LS models or is it just the interior layout?
The SS seems to have a lot more cockpit space.
What kind of speed should I expect with a 310HP 454?
Anything in particular to look for?
I am not in a hurry to buy but I have seen some fairly good deals.
Thanks
CJ

The 242 is a great choice for and older boat and can be found for a good price, 55mph is about what you will for speed. For a 24 foot boat it has a great ride.

I spoke with the dealer today.
Boat is one owner, retired couple.
750 hours on 7.4L.
No trailer.
I figure a trailer will cost about $3000.
He says it is in very good shape for its age.

Not shopping the 242 market in a long time that seems high w/o trailer, end of season, and 750hrs. That puts you around $17k total before any rebuilds, etc. For not much more (maybe no more?) you can get into a 272 and some 311's - maybe that's larger than you want, but I'm just stating the facts on the prices. Maybe the 242's are doing ok holding value?

242's are priced from 10k to 20k depends on the boat the SS is generally around 10k, unless mint with the LS following around the 15k, when I was shopping I was looking at mint for 20k a few times willing to pay it
