You cant lose that speed quest even though your gold chains were long ago deposited in the kids college trust. Your wife still looks killer in a two-piece and your teens are bringing dates to the family weekends at the lake. Your next boat du jour will be Bajas new 242 Islander. Our first impression of the cockpit was that its all performance, with custom steering and the Kiekhaefer performance controls. We loved the bolster helm seat and the commanding view it provides whether standing or sitting. The rest of the cockpit is all sexy drag-boat stuff, too, but with a twist. Dual companionways flank the sun pad over the bilge compartment, and a roomy bench seat stretches forward of that. Traffic flows nicely from the wide swim platform to the cockpit even if somebody stops to use the freshwater shower on the swim platform. You wont miss that forward cuddy. Nope. No way youll be ducking down there with the kids on board, and the bow seating that replaced it keeps your kids having fun -- and in plain view. Even with family aboard, the hot-rod crowd will still want to see whats under the engine hatch. Treat them to the full rumble of the Mercury power by flicking the exhaust cutoff switch. At speed, the Islander crested 2-foot chop with style and comfort. At top speed, we had to duck below the windshield and dry the tear glands due to wind or laughter -- whatever. The attitude this boat exudes comes through in its 24-degree deadrise hull. Crisp helm commands were rewarded by crisp response. In truth, we were in love with this boat. It even got us window-shopping for maybe just one tasteful gold chain -- or two, to make a matching set.
