Only 89 hours on this 242 Yamaha Limited S HO. The 2011 Yamaha 242 Limited S HO is propelled by two twin 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, 16-valve High Output Yamaha Marine engines with a displacement of 1812cc (each). The engines are fed by a 50.2 gallons fuel tank that offers a fairly good range.
The 242 Series features an all new deck and hull design. Above the waterline, Yamaha increased the height of the freeboard, which gives the 242 Series an impressive profile. The seating area at the bow is wider and longer than ever before to allow the tallest passengers and multiple riders the space to stretch out and lounge while moored. The two-tier stern lounge area and swim platform of the 242 Series is Yamaha's most impressive design ever, providing more space and more comfort.

Pairing an open layout that feels exponentially larger than 24 feet with the explosive power of twin 1.8 liter high output Yamaha Marine engines, the 242 Limited S stakes its rightful claim atop the luxury category.
Without an engine box to work around, Yamaha designers created transom seating that no one else has been able to copy. It's always been the envy of the competition, and now it's even better. There are two very comfortable aft facing seats, drink holders, the previously mentioned stereo remote, a removable pedestal table, and padding behind your legs that doubles as a separate padded seatback when you're sitting on the swim platform. The platform is mere inches above the water making the re-boarding ladder a bit redundant. It's an attractive and comfortable package, and Yamaha has really hit one out of the park this time.

Yamaha 242 Limited: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Yamaha 242 Limited S is Yamaha's flagship jet boat, designed to combine family-friendly water sports capabilities with high performance. At 24 feet in length and weighing 3,700 pounds, this vessel features a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 17 and a quarter inches. It is powered by twin 1.8-liter, fuel-injected, four-stroke, four-cylinder marine-specific Yamaha engines, delivering a balance of power and efficiency. With a fuel capacity of 50 gallons, the 242 Limited S is engineered for both spirited performance and practical use.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The boat's exterior and deck areas emphasize comfort and functionality. The bow offers some of the best seating for cruising, featuring a pair of dedicated lounges on each side with plush upholstery and unobstructed views. A storable air dam helps retain warmth during cooler morning outings. The portside companion seat is ergonomically designed with flip-up armrests and reclining capability, ideal for observing towline activities or swiveling to join the U-shaped cockpit seating area. The captain's chair mirrors these comforts and includes a flip-up bolster pad for enhanced visibility when standing. The aft cockpit accommodates five adults comfortably and benefits from a built-in bimini top for shade. A removable centerline cushion facilitates easy access to the transom walkthrough, a thoughtful design element given the high traffic in this area. The transom lounge is notably practical, featuring aft-facing seats and a deep swim platform covered in soft, non-skid C-deck material, complemented by mini seatback cushions on the swim platform for added comfort during water activities.
Storage and Practical Features
Yamaha has prioritized storage throughout the 242 Limited S. The bow houses large lockers beneath the seats for dry storage, as well as a sizable hatch concealing recessed anchor storage and a beach boarding ladder that can be deployed without disturbing the anchor. Cockpit storage includes a dedicated beverage cooler on the starboard side and easy access to batteries and switches on the port side, facilitated by hinged seat cushions for convenience. A bracket for a side-mount table enhances the entertaining options. The companion-side console contains a versatile compartment suitable for large gear storage, a changing station, or a dayhead, with cleverly designed drink holders on its exterior. Additional storage is found at the stern with large wet lockers on both sides, ideal for fenders, lines, or deflated towables. A 12-volt courtesy outlet is conveniently located over to port, and under the seat bottoms, there is access to jet pump cleanouts and the freshwater fill connector.
Helm and Control Systems
The helm is equipped with Yamaha's fully integrated command center known as K'NEX. This intuitive touchscreen panel consolidates control of all boat accessories and provides comprehensive information on engine status, tank levels, and temperature. It also manages the radio, lighting, and other boat functions from a single interface. The K'NEX system offers versatile control methods, allowing operation via touchscreen icons, physical buttons on the screen, joystick controller buttons, or by using the joystick as a mouse, enhancing ease of use and captain engagement.
Power and Performance
The Yamaha 242 Limited S is powered by twin 1.8-liter, fuel-injected, four-stroke, four-cylinder engines specifically designed for marine use. Routine maintenance is straightforward, with simple daily checks for oil and coolant and excellent engine access. A standout innovation is Yamaha's articulating keel system, which integrates a shallow keel running the boat's length to improve stability and tracking, paired with an articulating paddle guided by the steering nozzle. This system significantly enhances turning control and off-power maneuverability. Performance testing with two people aboard showed a time to plane of 2.3 seconds and acceleration from zero to 30 miles per hour in 4.2 seconds. The boat reached a top speed of 51.8 miles per hour at 7,500 rpm, consuming 23 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle. The optimal cruising speed was recorded at 27.8 miles per hour at 5,500 rpm, with a fuel burn of 9.4 gallons per hour. Yamaha's Quiet Cruise program effectively reduces noise levels, with measured sound levels of 54 dBA at idle, 87 dBA at wide-open throttle, and 76 dBA at best cruise speed.
Conclusion
The Yamaha 242 Limited S is a well-rounded jet boat that excels in both performance and family-oriented features. Its thoughtful design, high-quality materials, and innovative engineering such as the articulating keel system make it a standout in its class. The boat offers comfortable seating arrangements, ample storage, and advanced helm controls, making it suitable for a variety of water activities and cruising scenarios. Overall, it represents a compelling option for those seeking a versatile and high-performing jet boat.
