BOATTEST.COM - 2015 was the first year of the new hull design for Yamaha jet boats. The Yamaha Watercraft Group has brought several innovations to the market with its 2015 240 Series of jet boats which includes the 242 Limited S. One of the items that shined during our test and evaluation was the way in which this model drove and handled. An entirely new hull and deck design along with an Articulating Keel delivered a crisp, responsive ride that completely changes the way a boater will look at jet boats. Our report will also look at the Connext Helm Control System, Yamahas Quiet Cruise, and her additional key features.
