Thank you for the recommendation. I didn't see a Dr Vinyl location in Washington, but found a company called fibrenew that looks similar so contacted them for a quote.

I was cleaning my 242 yesterday in prep for the 4th and noticed a small tear in the vinyl on the side of the sun pad where the tow pole attaches. Since it is on the side, it isn't too noticeable, but I would like to repair it to prevent further ripping.

I have looked at some repair kits online ...

I signed the papers today for the 242. It was in much better condition than the 262, and most importantly available now. Hope to take possession in a couple of weeks. Thanks for all of the info and help in the comparisons!

Thanks so much! Glad to hear the creaking is common, as it was the only concerning item I noticed. The seating will need a few spots repaired, but everything mechanically was great. Hopefully I will be able to share the close of the sale and more info when out on the water!

I am new to the forum and happy to find such an active place. I have a deposit down on a 2004 262 from a local dealer. Currently planning to close the deal and pick up in March if the current owner's new R8 comes in. This will be my first boat. It drove very well during sea trial and has 379 hours ...
