Tired of the boring Pontoon Rentals available at the lake??? (YAWN!) Want to have some REAL fun? Coast Guard Approved up to 11 Passengers! 24 Feet Long. 2013 Yamaha 242 Limited S HO Powerful 360 HP Twin Engine Jet Boat. This was the absolute top of the line Yamaha sold in 2013. Not only that, no expense was spared in adding options to this boat. It has been upgraded to rival any dedicated watersports boat, with the safety of no exposed Props! Also big enough to just enjoy cruising or partying in your favorite cove. Yamaha's flagship 242 Limited S delivers the most rewarding boating experience on the water. The inviting bow features a variety of comfortable seating configurations. An all-new dash evokes the look and feel of a high-end luxury car and features state-of-the-art gauges. The forward-swept folding tower features integrated LED cockpit lighting and flush-mounted speakers. The two-tier lounge is well appointed with upholstered back and seat rests, stainless steel cup holders.
Upgraded Clarion Stereo System with Bluetooth module (not standard) with Boss MR1000 Amplifier, and rear platform controls and premium Polk® speakers through out boat.
Upgraded Sampson Typhoon Spinning Board Rack wake board/wake Surf Racks to allow you tilt in the rack and get into tight spaces or on a covered lift. Also has the $2000 Perfect Pass Star Gazer Wake Edition GPS Speed Control System Option installed to allow precision control of your speed no mater what water sports you enjoy. Let me just say if your intent for this boat is for water sports (and it should be), then Perfect Pass is a Must! I could never go back to a boat that doesn't have it. Maintains an accurate GPS speed that you preset for whatever activity you are doing behind the boat. Dial in the exact speed for the water sport you want to do, WakeSurf, Wakeboard, Waterski, Kneeboard, Tube, and the GPS does the rest!!! Sampson legendary 3 lens Rear View Tower and a freshwater shower. Custom OEM fitted Yamaha Boat cover.
Power twin engines have 360 Horsepower combined, but also give you the peace of mind if one engine were to fail for some reason, it wouldn't leave you stranded, and you can always get back in with the other engine.
This boat also has CobraJet Steering Fins installed. If you have never driven a jet drive boat there is a learning curve with steering, especially at low speed. These will help, but I will discuss with you as well to make sure you are comfortable.
Boat well maintained. Boat always kept inside my building when not in use. FRESH WATER USE ONLY. Upgraded Galvanized Trailer. Has a shallow 16" draft so you can go just about anywhere and be kind to plants and animal life.
I also have a youtube video of us enjoying this boat out on the water this past summer and everything we do on it, including wakesurfing, Sky Skiing, Wakeboarding, Tubing, Kneeboarding and skiing, but I can't not list links in this ad.
We also used the boat this past summer to take some awesome senior pictures of my daughter (see examples). Great for some unique action shots!
Important information regarding rental:
I live in Louisville, but boat is stored in Shelbyville, KY inside my building where it MUST be picked up and returned to. Rental does not include delivery of the boat to you or the lake, nor do I provide that service except rare circumstances and additional cost. It just takes too much time. It can be used on the Ohio River launched from Captains Quarters or Cox's Park or Guist Creek Lake or Taylorsville Lakes which are close, or even Cumberland, Dale Hollow, Nolin etc for long weekends or week rentals only. (NO 1 Day rentals for longer trips) Can be trailered to other lakes as well for week long rentals. You must have a vehicle with a 2" Ball capable of transporting this boat as it is heavy. It is almost 5000 lbs dry with no fuel. Your trailer lights must be functioning properly or rental can not proceed for safety reasons.
I do not do half-day rentals as the travel time eats up too much of the rental period and ends up being a full day rental anyway.
**IMPORTANT** - When submitting your rental request you must include your boating experience, where you want to take the boat, how many people, what type of tow vehicle, and what you plan to use the boat for.

Water Skis - Adult, Children, and Slalom
