Along with her many sisterships, the 242 Fisherman runs on a durable wet surface featuring a fiberglass stringer system for a long-lasting and resilient lifespan. No wood is found in the construction process, and her sea-tested handling in all types of conditions will make your time out on the water that much more enjoyable. Utilizing only the latest in computerized technology, along with all the high-tech materials available, Wellcraft craftsmanship makes the 242 Fisherman as tough as they come.
“The 242 is an absolute pleasure to run, either offshore fishing or pulling the kids on a tube,” says Lake Michigan Yacht Sales’ Matt Mrozinski.
Comfort aboard is provided by superior, UV-stable vinyl over self-draining foam padding cushions throughout. Whether you are coastal cruising with family and friends or heading out for a day of in-your-face angling, everyone will be able to relax.
The 242 Fisherman comes standard with a 72-quart cooler, stern baitwell, transom door, porta-pottie and more. Available in single or dual Mercury or Yamaha power, with eight color schemes to choose from, along with offshore and bow seating options, a premium JL Audio sound package, and a deluxe T-top with LED lights, rod holders, phone holder and ski tow, you can trick out the 242 Fisherman to suit your needs.
“Wellcraft is known as having one of the best running surfaces, and the 242 is just another example of that,” Mrozinski adds. “The boat will exceed any and all expectations.”
If a boat in this size range is up on your radar screen, Wellcraft’s 242 Fisherman deserves a visit and a sea trial. You will not be disappointed.
