Even if it has the old oil coolers, that price is a steal. Take that and run.

Go 240. I've never heard of a guy looking to downsize a boat. Go big or as another member has said "Buy your second boat first".

That is a great price on the 2011 AR240. If it truly has 60 hours and is in nice shape, I would get on that in a hurry.

Probably been asked a time or two on here, but here's the deal. I can get a new 2014 AR240 for $47,900 (dealer asking price) or a new 2015 AR210 for around $40,000. Is the 240 worth the extra money? We had a 21' Bryant years ago and sold it because we wanted something bigger, but the AR210 does have more room than the Bryant. What to do, what to do?
See what you can do to get them to MOVE on that asking price. I got mine with a Galv Trailer, 5Yr Warranty, CobraJet Fins installed (that I provided) for $46960 (plus tax) over a YEAR ago when it was a current year model.

First, Congratulations on GREAT looking boat. Now, not to piss in your corn flakes here but did you read our comments? $47K is a bit much for a 2014 leftover, even with life jackets and a knee board. But I guess maybe we should be thanking you for keeping our boat values up. . . . . = )

Whats' done is done, so you'll just have to use it that much more to make up for the little extra out of pocket.

I LOVE the new features of the 2015, but $10k is a lot of cash. Tough call, but I would go witht eh 2015 or consider buying a used 2010-2014 for $35,000ish.
