Boattest.com Review
Overview
The Yamaha 242 Limited S E-Series represents a significant update in Yamaha's 24-foot boat lineup, blending luxury features with modern boating technologies. This model emphasizes comfort and innovation, aiming to deliver an enhanced experience both on and off the water.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The bow area is thoughtfully designed with Seadeck non-skid surfaces for safety and comfort, complemented by well-padded, custom-embossed aft-facing bolsters. A hatch covered with Seadeck material serves as a convenient water entry point, while a lift and lock latch provides secure access to a four-step reboarding ladder and an anchor locker equipped with an anchor keeper. The hatch is supported by a gas strut for ease of use. Seating throughout the exterior incorporates multiple vinyl textures and tones, bead welding, and varied foam densities to enhance comfort and aesthetic appeal. Stainless steel self-draining drink holders, recessed courtesy lights, and eight strategically placed speakers contribute to a luxurious and functional environment. The cockpit features a pedestal table that can be relocated between the central seating area and the stern, allowing flexible use for dining or relaxation. Additional amenities include a starboard pull-out freshwater shower, padded bolsters in the stern seating area for comfort, and a walk-through windshield with an air dam to enclose the cockpit during cooler conditions. Overhead, a large bimini top integrates a tow point for water sports, LED courtesy lights, and speakers, while solar panels provide a trickle charge to the batteries when the boat is not in use. The wakeboard tower is designed to complement these features.
Interior Living Spaces and Comfort
The bow lounge seats offer ample room for stretching out, with removable forward cushions that convert into jump seats. When combined with filler cushions, the bow transforms into a spacious sun pad. A clever design allows the front filler cushion to be repositioned as a backrest for three-across seating. The port console includes a storage area that can be converted into a head compartment by adding a porta potty, providing 3 feet 10 inches of headroom and 17 inches of width for comfort. A glove box with a lid that flips down to serve as a dining tray, both surfaces covered in non-skid C-deck material, adds to the convenience and usability of the space.
Helm and Control Systems
The helm area is outfitted with luxury seating featuring multiple sections, separate headrests, flip-up armrests, and a wide flip-up bolster for elevated seating. Mounted on a pedestal, the helm seat swivels and slides for optimal positioning. The dashboard is finished in faux carbon fiber, and the steering wheel is wrapped in padded soft vinyl to reduce fatigue. The observer seat matches the helm seat in comfort but lacks the flip-up bolster, blending seamlessly into the cockpit seating. The helm incorporates Yamaha's fly-by-wire control system, highlighted by the K'NEXT touchscreen and joystick control, which manage essential boat functions, system controls, and entertainment. A new feature for this model year is the Yamaha Drive Control, identifiable by a red tab, which allows the operator to select from up to five preset acceleration and speed profiles tailored for individual users, enhancing control during water sports and cruising.
Power and Performance
Powering the 242 Limited S E-Series are twin 1.8-liter, 1812cc high-output Yamaha Marine engines. The boat features an integral keel running the full length of the hull, complemented by an articulating keel linked to the steering system to improve maneuverability across all speeds. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 50.3 miles per hour at 5,750 RPM, with a fuel consumption rate of 23.3 gallons per hour. Optimal fuel economy was recorded at 5,500 RPM, yielding a speed of 32.2 miles per hour and a fuel burn of 9.7 gallons per hour, resulting in an estimated range of 149 miles. Handling was confident and responsive at both low and high speeds, with the articulating keel helping to maintain wheel centering and deliberate steering. The boat exhibited typical turning behavior, with controlled spins only occurring under prolonged, slow-speed turns. Overall, the steering system with three-quarter turn capability provides an engaging and enjoyable driving experience.
Conclusion
The Yamaha 242 Limited S E-Series successfully integrates luxury appointments with advanced technology and thoughtful design. From its comfortable and versatile seating arrangements to its innovative helm controls and strong performance characteristics, this model demonstrates Yamaha's commitment to enhancing the boating experience. The combination of refined aesthetics, practical features, and reliable powertrain makes the 242 Limited S a compelling choice in the 24-foot luxury boat segment.
