***SALE PENDING***There is little mystery as to why NauticStar’s 243 DC delivers a solid, confidence-inspiring ride. The 243 DC uses 100% wood-free construction and is built with a one-piece molded stringer grid, bonded to the hull with a special adhesive from Plexus. This is a great family boat for tubing, touring or partying on Keewaydin Island. But it’s got build qualities akin to those of boats that range far offshore.
With a single 200 hp Yamaha F200 outboard motor on the transom, the 3,400-pound 243 DC whooshes to a top speed of 40 mph, spinning a 20-inch-pitch stainless-steel prop. During acceleration trials, Boating Magazine writers recorded a time to plane of about four seconds and consistently zoomed from 0 to 30 mph in about six seconds. Naturally, the F200’s corrosion resistance, and its ability to tilt completely clear of the water, should weigh heavily in the decision-making of any boater considering plying salty coastal waters. After all, the walk-through windshield arrangement that makes the 243 DC a great family boat also allows it to compete with sterndrive-powered bowriders and deck boats for family boaters seeking a new waterborne conveyance.
The self-bailing cockpit is another excellent feature of the 243 DC that even boaters who never leave the bay or lake can appreciate. It makes the boat safer and less reliant on bilge pumps and makes it easier to hose out sand and snacks that hit the deck. Of course, the wraparound cockpit seating, covered in leatherlike upholstery, will probably impress your guests even more. Then there’s the fully enclosed walk-in head with an electric-flush marine head in the portside console. Aboard the boat is a generously sized livewell, a Garmin sonar and GPS combo, and an Infinity stereo with Bluetooth and preset feature.
