I have had my eyes peeled for 240s on the market for some years now. I am in the middle of a rebuild. My experience is that I have never seen one newer than 1976 and seems they built them from about 1972 till 1976. I am not sure if they just didn't sell well or were much more effort and money to build. Maybe Aquasport made a business decision to stop building them, we may never know. Or possibly, a lot of 222s were being purchased as they were open fisherman type boats that were cost effective for the average fisherman. I have both the 240 and a couple of 222s in both flatback and 12 degree modified and the 240 is a much bigger boat.
