Overview

The Yamaha 242 Limited S is a 23-foot 6-inch length overall boat with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a shallow draft of 16 inches. It has a dry weight of 3,519 pounds and carries 50.2 gallons of fuel. Powered by twin high-output 1812cc Yamaha marine engines, this model delivers a blend of performance and thoughtful design aimed at recreational boating enthusiasts.

Power and Performance

The Yamaha 242 Limited S is equipped with two 1812cc, high-output, four-cylinder, four-stroke, fuel-injected Yamaha marine engines. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 51.4 miles per hour while consuming 23.2 gallons per hour, resulting in a fuel efficiency of just over 2.2 miles per gallon and a range of approximately 100 miles. For optimal cruising, running at 6,000 RPM yielded a speed of 37.4 miles per hour with a more efficient fuel burn of 11.5 gallons per hour, translating to 3.2 miles per gallon and an extended range of 147 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 2.5 seconds and accelerating through 30 miles per hour in 4.2 seconds. Notably, the 242 Limited S does not feature trim tabs or trim control; it launches immediately upon throttle application, requiring passengers to be prepared for an aggressive takeoff. Handling in turns is stable with minimal sliding or spinning out, although speed must be moderated during aggressive maneuvers to maintain control.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

Forward on the Yamaha 242 Limited S, the boat features a combination anchor locker and a four-step beach boarding ladder housed in a self-draining compartment secured with stainless steel latches and hinges. The bow seating area is designed with comfort and versatility in mind, resembling a traditional bow rider layout with grab rails and drink holders. Yamaha has optimized the bow cushions to allow multiple seating configurations. For cooler conditions, the windshield can be closed off, and the starboard side storage door opened to block wind effectively. The port side storage compartment is spacious enough to serve as a changing room or potentially accommodate a portable toilet. The cockpit includes a self-draining scupper system that efficiently removes water from the deck and directs it overboard rather than into the bilge. The low-profile jet drive engines enable a spacious aft patio area, which can be used for seating either on the deck or partially submerged in the water. The swim platform is comfortable and includes a wakeboard tow point positioned seven feet above the deck. The tow tower leans forward, aligning the tow point with the boat's pivot, preserving maneuverability during towing activities.

Bridge and Helm Station

The helm area features a spacious and functional layout. The starboard console houses ample storage, though steering cables intrude somewhat into the space. The steering system includes tilt functionality with a half-turn lock-to-lock design. Instrumentation consists of twin multifunction GPS gauges capable of cycling through 18 different readouts such as depth, water temperature, heading, speed, and real-time fuel consumption. Engine controls are mounted at a 45-degree angle, which may feel awkward during low-speed maneuvering, prompting the operator to use a palm-up incremental throttle technique. To aid in precise speed control, Yamaha has incorporated a no-wake mode and a cruise assist function, allowing incremental speed adjustments at both low and cruising speeds. The captain's seat is a comfortable bucket style with fore and aft adjustment and a flip-up bolster for enhanced visibility over the windshield, though it lacks vertical adjustment. The port side seat converts quickly from a forward-facing position to an aft-facing lounger, enhancing social and relaxation options on board.

Engine Compartment and Mechanical Features

Beneath the engine hatch are the twin 1812cc high-output Yamaha four-cylinder, four-stroke, fuel-injected marine engines. These low-profile jet drives provide ample room in the aft cockpit and contribute to the boat's clean deck layout. The self-draining cockpit scupper system efficiently evacuates water from the deck area, routing it directly overboard through the transom, which helps maintain a dry bilge and improves overall maintenance.

Conclusion

The Yamaha 242 Limited S offers a compelling combination of performance, thoughtful design, and user-friendly features. Its powerful twin engines deliver quick acceleration and respectable top speeds, while the absence of trim controls simplifies operation albeit with a more aggressive launch. The versatile bow seating, efficient storage solutions, and well-designed helm station enhance comfort and functionality. Additionally, the innovative tow tower design preserves maneuverability during watersports activities. Overall, the 242 Limited S is a well-rounded recreational boat suitable for those seeking performance and versatility in a compact package.
