Well, it has been almost 2 years since I posted on my 242 thread. Figure I'd show some updates as I start my 4th season with it.
Boat has been absolutely fabulous for what I paid for it and how it performs. With the cost of the new ones going through the roof or should I say, more expensive than my house with a roof, I'm in for the long haul on this boat. Love the style and shape and she is a strong performer. Is it the best wake, probably not, but I'm not a great surfer so it evens out. When the wave is dialed in, it's really good, long and tall enough. It makes a huge difference to have the lead ballast and the number of people so kinda have an idea after 3 seasons what we might get on any given day with it and how to adjust for each outing.

The boat has about 340 hours on it currently. I purchased it with 40 hours on a new motor which averages out to 100 hours a season so far. It did have a minor hiccup last season as the motor threw a code and the shop couldn't find a resolution. It didn't affect performance at all. The code was cleared and then appeared one more time. It was suspected to be O2 sensors but they checked out and no issue found. Hasn't done it since last August. If you have seen this code on your boat, I'd like to know what your issue is or was. I will a share a pic of it below.

When I purchased it, it did have some dock rash and minor scratches. She cleaned up good but was a 7 out of 10 at best. I decided at the end of last year to have it professionally buffed out and replace all the Supra chrome lettering with new. Not sure why that lettering is so darn expensive but the dealer got me for about $1100 with shipping. (Thanks Skiers Choice!) That included all the 3 Supra logos and the Sunsport 242 lettering.
There was some wet sanding needed in spots as well especially the red gelcoat. The shop I used did an incredible job and in a two week timeline. I could not be more happier.

Here are some pics after the work was done.

Maybe you should warn people to wear sunglasses when reading this post. That is some serious shine.
