Patrol,
I used the fly high 1100's as they are the same brand as the 750's I had installed. I did reroute the vents for the 2 rear bags. Normally, the left vents to the left side of the boat and...

My 2011 242 has all 3 pumps behind the carpeted cover on the back wall of the left rear locker. Guessing the 2012 would be the same. I put 750's at first and then 1100's now in both rears on my...
Haugy,
I have the only one of these. A friend and myself developed the Saetta Classic as a kit as a side business to our custom aircraft building and vintage plane restoration. I built it with...
Haha! As you can see, I am selling 2 boats and will buy only 1 to replace them. Still not absolutely set on the SA550 but it is one I am looking at. I first drove the prototype test "SA" back in...
Yeah, we are about 20 miles south of where the surf contest was in Ocala. Lake Dora/beauclair/Carlton on the Harris chain is where we play most of the time because it is 5 minutes from home. Dora...
I have a 2011 242 and switched the prop to the OJ 5 blade. Best update I have made on the boat. Lot 3mph top speed but the hole shot hook up, time to plane when loaded, lower noise in the cabin,...
Yes it is. Awesome boat. As you may have read elsewhere, I got a chance to drive the new SA550 and I am thinking to get one. So, to do that, the 242 needs a new home. I have my 2010 Saetta Classic...
We surf our 242 both sides. We have settled in on this set up:
1100 sac in each locker (use appropriate one for goofy or reg)
500lb (10 each 50lb bomb wake ballast bags) on the floor in same...
$63,000.00 Like new condition inside and out. Stored indoors. Upgraded Indmar 340hp engine with 5 yr warranty. Sandrock base color and Black accent. Sandrock interior with black trim bead, playpen...
OK. Grabbed some photos and made a quick sketch for you guys.
This 2011 platform has a core about 1/2" thick. So, we removed some of the core and underside glass, beveled the edges, bonded in...
Hey, sorry for the delay in responding. Actually, I didn't bother taking photos of the process involved in adding the mounts to the platform. I will gather some pics and info and get back with a...
I too have some family members who could not enjoy the water because of difficulties getting in and out. So, I added a retractable locking ladder under the platform on my Launch 242. The one I used...
Randy,
Here is a link to the Navionics web page with the listing of the lakes included on Southern card:

Scroll the list on the...
Randy, Maybe. I was told by both SC and Murphy, the maker of the Vision system, that for GPS data, it was a card change. The story I got was that USB port near the helm is for Vision system...
The base card that ships in the unit has some data from all over the country. We had the same issue you saw on your test. One of our lakes was on the stock card but pass thru the canal to the next...
The Supra vision uses Navionics HotMap premium cards. These are available from various retailers. I upgraded mine from a card I purchased from Navionics.com webstore. You need the Premium card on...
The dealer for nearly all of Central Florida is now Land O Lakes Marine near Tampa. A friend of mine from the Orlando area is part of the Supra Moomba program with them. If there is a call for it,...
It is a mod to the thermostat housing not the pump. It is a simple thing to do and Indmar has the data. I you decide to do it, you will need the info from Indmar, thermostat gasket, sealer, and get...
I have 2 boats with the 340 cat engine in them. One 2010 in Saetta Classic with 78 hrs on it, one 2011 in a Supra launch 242 with 182 hrs on it. Never had this problem with either engine. A friend...
GO to PTMedge.com and get one of their mirror and mirror brackets. I have tested both the 100 and 200 and like the added view angle of the 200 with the 3 pane mirror. These are still windshield...
Patrol,
Good going! You're gonna catch up to my hours in no time! I am at 145 after this past weekend. Yes, the camera system we use does play thru the dash.
Drop me an email at...
Diggs,
The maps that are in the system are good but may not have all the detail of certain parts of the country/world. So, the system is designed to allow the use of region specific data cards. ...
KG, Sorry about that. We have a bunch of photos and videos of the boat, riders, and fun. Here are some pics for you guys. 2011 242 Sandrock and Black. 340hp engine, Z5, Roswell Quads on the...
You need to buy the Navionics card for your part of the country. For me here in the south, that card is: MSD/HM-S and is about $99. The -S is for south so for you, find the one that applies.
I...
Patrol,
Welcome to the Launch 242 family! I have had mine since Jan 22 and have put 130 hrs on it already! Get to the lake and enjoy it!
