2018 Yamaha Boats 242 Limited S

This 2018 Yamaha 242 Limited S is a 24-foot fiberglass jet boat built around Yamaha's internal propulsion system. The design pairs twin gasoline engines with intake and discharge tunnels that pull water through internally housed propellers, eliminating the need for exposed outdrives or an engine hatch. That configuration allows the boat to plane quickly with minimal bow rise and shallow draft, making it well-suited to varied water conditions.

The absence of a traditional engine box frees up significant space at the stern, where an expansive swim platform provides room for passengers to gather near the water. The 8.5-foot beam supports a layout oriented toward open entertaining and active water use. The boat carries luxury appointments throughout its design, with Yamaha's engineering focused on reliability and fuel efficiency alongside the operational benefits of jet propulsion.
