242 Center Console

1996–2013

EDITOR NOTES: Heavily built center console with a full complement of fishing amenities will appeal to serious anglers with an eye for quality. Jackshaft power system locates the engine low in the hull where it adds to stability and ride comfort. Engine can be accessed from all sides of the console. Exemplary fit and finish. Not inexpensive, but one of the best boats in her class. Cruises at 30 mph with Volvo 270hp Duoprop; 32 mph with Volvo 210hp diesel. Strong resale values.
