Boat 2018 AR195 For Sale - Southern California

[jEt_jAk]

Went bigger/faster so will be selling my heavily upgraded 2018 AR195. Excellent condition, garage stored and used in fresh water only. Serviced annually. Has 144 hours. TONS (and I mean tons) of upgrades done. ($10k+) Full list of upgrades here: My 2018 AR195 Mods | JetBoaters.net - The World's Largest Jet Boat Forum!

Decided to post here before I go wider with the sale since this forum has been a great resource for me. The boat is located in Southern California but registered in AZ as this boat is not available in CA due to Californias strict emission requirements. So this boat is quite rare in California.

Asking $32K.

One price drop before going wider with sale.

Bump if anyone is still looking for a 19ft

 

[Ribs77]

I'm still looking. Got my eye on another poster's boat in NY, but being in WA state makes it a bit of a headache to actually commit. CA is much more doable.

Can I ask why you decided to sell after all the mods and stuff you've done? Want to start fresh with a ton of mods on a new boat? Believe me, coming from the world of motorcycles I understand the impulse...

Edit: I see you said you went "bigger/faster."

 

[jEt_jAk]

Yup, went to a 22ft go fast boat

 

[Ribs77]

Um, how much faster is the new boat?! With the mods you've done, wouldn't the 195 get pretty close to 50mph WOT?

I'm currently still in a negotiation with my wife about using our driveway for boat storage but if I manage to win the argument, I may be interested in checking out your boat in late Dec or early Jan.

Is a water test feasible down in your area at that time of year, or too cold?

 

[jEt_jAk]

Yup does close to 50MPH as long as you don’t put weight up front. Weight in front will easily scrub another 5MPH off that. My need for speed was too great though as now I have a 22ft catamaran that will do over 80

Water test in Dec or Jan is no problem. It never really gets cold here. Haha.

 

[Ribs77]

Over 80?! Good lord!

Last time I drove a boat (04 or 05 Nautique) I probably only took it up to about 30-35 and it felt like I was FLYING, so low-mid 40s with a crew on board seems plenty fast to me.

 

[jEt_jAk]

Ya 40-50 is good. Over 60 starts to feel a bit dicey IMO, especially if any chop. Fun for short bursts though

 

[jEt_jAk]

Price drop to $30K. Can’t update my original post though.

 

[Ribs77]

I'm still interested but still battling wife over the driveway

I'll send you a DM if anything changes.

 

[jEt_jAk]

Bump for the new year

 

[jEt_jAk]

New price $28K!

 

[Btsnhos]

damn thats a steal, wish you were in florida.

 

[jEt_jAk]

Almost summertime bump

 

[Ribs77]

I definitely would have bought this boat if I lived closer. Someone should snatch it up! It looks sweet.
