Yamaha 242 Limited S:
Quiet Ride in a Speedy Twin Jet
The Yamaha 242 Limited S is larger than most jet boats at 24' (7.32 m) LOA, but she's fast and agile thanks to her twin 1812-cc Yamaha Marine High Output jet systems. She's quieter than earlier twin jet models, and the Articulating Keel steering provided good tracking and cornering.
See how she behaved on our test here.

MAKO® 334 CC:
Fast Fisherman w/Standard Tower
For those who just have to be first to the fish, the MAKO® 334 CC delivers: She turned in an impressive 64.4 mph in our test runs, powered by triple Mercury Verado 350s. Just as important, she's got more than 400 miles of range at a fast cruise, 29.8 mph. We tested the Sportfish edition, which offers the fiberglass hardtop and upper helm as standard, but there’s more to this boat than that.
Come along on our full test here.
