Hey all! Been awhile and wanted to pop back in. Never left, but just haven’t participated in a bit. Recently sold our 08 232 to a good friend and replaced it with a ‘12 242 WSS powered by a VP 380. The 232 had a 320, so comparatively, this one can fly! Our young boys are excited about the tower and ready to start wakeboarding.
Wet sounds tomorrow (by a pro) and Marine Mat to follow (by me). Aside from that, we’re very happy with it!

NIce! 242 was our first boat, not as fancy as that, but we loved it. Great find!

Re: Picked up a 242
I looked at a 2012 Cobalt 242, but it wasn't nearly as good looking 5 years ago as yours is now.
Nice find.

Re: Picked up a 242
I'm convinced you've found a sweet spot for value in a family boat - the 242/262 of that era are tough to beat. Have fun!

Re: Picked up a 242
Thanks guys, I appreciate it! Miller Lite and I have a date this evening with Marine Mat...we'll see if I can knock this out fairly quickly. In the last boat bought rolls of Sea Dek and cut them myself. It turned out well, but if you looked close enough you could tell it wasn't laser cut. Opted for the actual laser cut template this time around. Installation should be the easy part haha!
jhnmdal- Yes, I agree. We were looking at 11-14 models and this one came up. Bigger engine, less hours, and a tower were on our list. This one hit it all!

Re: Picked up a 242
Definitely not the best pictures, but do have evidence that I finished up the Marine Mat this weekend! It’s very impressive. Think we’re going to like it!
