242 SKIER - New Model TAHITI OFFSHORE

[Goodtime$]

We picked up the Aftershock 230 Tornado molds a while back and got the first one out.
We ditched the bow locker in favor of a huge open bow.
Lowered the floor
Twin Saddle Tanks
Outdrive mainly, Can rig a jet.
We are doing an extended swimstep on this one.

Simple stuff, same rig kit as our 21 SKIER dash etc.
21 SKIER - mainly a jet boat now
242 SKIER- Bridge the gap between 21 Skier and 23 DECK. Family friendly pricing.
23 DECK- Pricing going up in May.

This 242 SKIER is going to Oregon.

What’s the “family friendly price?”

Will this be a jet or IO for that price? Is it to big for a jet?

 

[NicPaus]

Looks kinda similar to the 22 Stealth is it bigger or about the same. Looks good.

Aftershock built most of them as jets. The bottom out the transom is pretty flat. Would be a big jet. RAPTOR 575SC for sure.

I want the 22 stealth mold, but they wont sell it to me. This is much bigger. The 22 stealth is a 20' bottom with swimsteps.

Any more updates and pics on this. What speeds with stock power are expected? Length running surface and over all? What’s the beam on it? Looking forward to more updates. Like what you’re doing.

Will they all be done with playpen seating in the back or was that an option this customer wanted?

Custom boat = customer choice
He wanted u shape back and filler cushion in bow for playpen.

Boat is cool. Deep giant skier

Have any other interior pics?? Would like to see more..

Great looking boat you guys are really hitting it out of the park can’t wait for that 26 mold to be done may have to get in line for that one

 

[BUDMAN]

Looks like a lot of room in that sucker. I like the back seating.

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Came out great!

 

[Rogers Hopeful]

Looks great. Too big of a boat for a jet for us lower river guys? Maybe indmar will get a hold of fords new 7.3L gasser

 

[rlemn8r]

There's a ton of room in that thing. Take out those jump seats behind the driver and passenger seat and it would be awesome. Beautiful boat and great job..
Thanks for the pics...

OK I dont agree as half of the aftershocks built had jet pumps and not pretty. Some had issues, some customers loved.

We are inserting the bottom: taking vee out for belly, inserting the transom swimstep shoulders that hang down, trim tabs on all of them and stuffing a RAPTOR 575SC - Dominator combo on the next one.

The goal of the 242 SKIER is to give all of us who have 19-21' open bow jets an opportunity for a new larger jet boat for lower river action. The 23 DECK gets pricey.

 

[Goodtime$]

I am ready for the 7.3L Gasser. Its close to an LS style block so much easier to fit in a boat.
The 6.2L Raptor we have to widen stringers to 28" to accommodate the log style manifolds and wide coyote stance.

Indmar has been silent on the 7.3L , the just released the ecoboost 4cyl.
But what ford models still use the 6.2L V8? base f250 only right?

 

[BajaMike]

Outboard?

 

[Goodtime$]

Outboard?

Next one is getting 300R
Ordered a stainless marine box and will rig under swimstep with minimal repairs hoping.

Parker ski race family boat

It was more of a question. Is it to big of a boat for a jet. I didn’t know that shockwave made these with a jet either. Good to know and boat looks great.

Correct 6.2L is superduty only now that the raptor went Ecoboost

Hey sorry about that- Yah aftershock made a few jets. We found some spots on the bottom we can insert to make the pump load better. Its a big boat. My goal was to give someone with an older 19-21 bowrider and reason to step up. My 21 Skier doesnt really have tons more room than an older 202XR Carrera etc. The 242 SKIER does.

On the INDMAR Stuff- All of the tow boat guys had to re-tool stringer grids for the 6.2L (Tige/ Sanger/ MB/ Supra) so I dont see them wanting the 7.3L unless its cost effective and a better engine. Ford is strange company and I can see the 6.2L being discontinued.
For us- small volume jet guys. The raptor makes great power in a skier but a POS to mount and rig cleanly.

Bring on the 7.3 with headers.

Yeah my current boat 16'6" rogers has quickly gotten small with a wife and baby and 2 labs, a bigger boat would be great. plan on getting a bigger boat in a couple years after cars are paid off and work contract gets settled. the 242 looks like a good option and hopefully the 7.3 will be available.
