Description
Yamaha has always been at the forefront of innovation, and when they launched the 240 Series, it was no different. The Yamaha 242 Limited S was produced for five years, the compact family jet boat soaring in front of the competition when it came to an exceptional ride, smooth handling, and speed.
At just over 21 feet in length, the 242 Limited S is an easily trailer-able, lightweight fiberglass bowrider, but it’s still able to accommodate 10 passengers for watersports, family fun, and cruising on coastal and inland waters. It’s also packed with features to make the day enjoyable, from the removable dinette to the swim platform, the wakeboard tower, and the Bimini top.
Yamaha made some big changes when they produced the 242, one of the most noticeable being the reduced noise. While jet boats were known to be noisier, significant engineering changes along with sound deadening materials resulted in a much quieter ride—although noise levels are still above those on a sterndrive. The entirely new hull and deck design pushed the boundaries of jet boating innovation, too, resulting in a smooth and responsive ride.
Jam-packed with features, the Yamaha 242 Limited S is turn-key ready for days on the water with the whole gang. Entertainment is provided by a Polk marine stereo with Bluetooth capabilities, as well as flush-mounted speakers (and jazzy LED lights) in the wakeboard tower. There’s the portside entertainment area and removable integrated cooler box for refreshments for the day.
This series is primed for watersports, with both a tow point between the stern seats for towables, and another on the easy-to-fold watersports tower (which also has a Bimini). Combine that with watersports lockers by the low, spacious swim platform, and the ability to set the “no wake mode” control, and you’ve got an impressively high-performance wake boat.
On the helm, with its comfortable captain’s and co-pilot swiveling bucket seats, is a 7” touch screen control system—Connext—which gives easy and intuitive control over everything from the engine functions to the broad menu.
The 242 Limited S carries up to 10 comfortably, thanks to its spacious aft seating, removable dinette table, and stern seats by the swim platform.

The 242 Limited S also has a full-size ski locker accommodating skis or wakeboards. Stern storage is perfect for wet items, like ropes and wetsuits.
- Innovative Swim Platform: This award-winning stern with Hydro-Turf mats, upholstered bottom, and backrest cushions can be transformed into a private patio on the water. New for 2010, the swim platform sits just inches above the water line, making it easier to get in and out of the water.
- GPS-based information control center: Digital displays can provide latitude, longitude, compass heading, elevation, water depth, water temperature, trip odometer, clock, engine hours, engine speed, vessel voltage, vessel speed, highest speed, fuel level, and fuel used. They are the first in the industry to provide real-time (gallons per hour and miles per gallon) fuel flow data.
- 3 Position No Wake Mode: Three different RPM settings allowing the driver to easily increase or decrease their no wake speed to find the optimum setting.
- Cruise Assist: When engaged, Cruise Assist will hold the engines at a specific RPM for effortless cruising or towing, which can be increased by eight positions up and eight positions down at pre-set increments.
- Aquatic A/V Premium Stereo With Direct iPod Connectivity: When the iPod is plugged into the stereo, it will charge automatically and can be controlled entirely through the stereo controls and the remote control on the swim platform. In addition, the new premium stereo comes with a separate waterproof and floatable handheld remote that can control the entire system from up to 50 feet away. The 242 Series also features eight waterproof speakers, including two on the swim platform and two in the tower.
- Stainless Steel Details: Includes rubrails, cupholders, grab handles, and pull-up cleats.
- Built-In Removable Cooler: Help keep beverages chilled and sandwiches fresh.
- Dinette Table: With all new side mounts at the cockpit and stern.
- Center Walk-Thru Transom: Easy access to the stern patio area and swim platform from the cockpit.

The Powerplant
- Twin 1.8L Yamaha High Output engines power the 242 Limited S. These 1812cc four cylinder, four-stroke Yamaha marine engines deliver excellent power in a compact package.
- Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI): Electronically adjustable throttle bodies, throttle position sensors (TPS), and intake air pressure and air temperature sensors supply the optimum air/fuel mixture. The result is a smooth, high power output with low fuel consumption and low exhaust emissions.
- SAWS (Scavenger Assist Wet Sump): Equipped with a high-performance, compact gas-liquid separator, this engine uses Yamaha's unique ultra-compact lubrication system and oil pan structure.
- Yamaha Engine Management System (Y.E.M.S.): An integrated, computerized management system that controls and adjusts such functions as ignition timing, fuel injection mapping and engine diagnostics.
- Independent Water-jacketed Exhaust Manifolds with Collector: Achieves high power while controlling noise and exhaust heat.
- Thermostatic and Pressure-Controlled Cooling System: Water flow through the engine is controlled by a thermostat and pressure system, which is maintained by a pressure control valve.
- Corrosion Protection System: Sacrificial zinc anodes protect the engine from harmful galvanic corrosion. Stainless steel fasteners (nuts, bolts, hardware) provide a long service life. Cylinders, cases and heads are all treated with a durable oxide coating to form a barrier between corrosion and expensive engine parts.
- Electronically Controlled, Variable Ignition Timing: For exact ignition advance control at all throttle positions and RPMs.
The Jet Pump Propulsion System
- The 242 Limited S twin 155mm hyper-flow, high-pressure jet pump propulsion system with three-blade stainless steel impeller is designed to maximize water flow for high performance. The twin pump configuration provides excellent hook-up and smooth acceleration.
- Pumps are manufactured with YDC30, a combination of aluminum, zinc, and copper alloys developed by Yamaha marine engineers that offers excellent corrosion protection.
- Stainless Steel Impeller Housing Liner: The liner maintains accurate clearance tolerances between the impeller and the housing for high durability.
- High-Flow Intake Duct and Grate: The dynamic shape of these items directs water flow into the pump for better thrust, performance, and hook-up.
- Cooling Water Intake Filter: Filters out harmful debris that could cause blockage of important cooling water passages.
- Jet Pump Clean-out Plugs with Push-Button Lock Mechanism: These plugs allow direct access to the inlet duct cavity, allowing you to easily clear debris from the pumps from inside the boat.
The Hull and Deck
- The 242 Limited S utilizes a deep-V, multi-chine hull with 20-degree dead rise. The hull and deck are constructed of multiple layers of fiberglass with sandwich core construction reinforcements.
- The fiberglass liner: Separately constructed, it represents a revolution in boat design, combining the floor, stringer, and engine mounting system. It is constructed from a custom blended polyester resin with engineered fiberglass laminates and 3/8" 6061-T6 aluminum plate for the engine mounts. The liner is bonded into the hull with polyurethane adhesive and then injected with foam to provide maximum floatation as well as longitudinal and lateral structural rigidity. The deck is then fastened to the hull with both mechanical fasteners and polyurethane adhesive giving this revolutionary semi-monocoque fiberglass structure unsurpassed strength and rigidity.
