Bought an AR190. First boat and just 2 of us so it is right sized. Spent 4 hours on Ten Killer yesterday and it was perfect. Made some rookie mistakes at the ramp but a great day will

We've had 19 ft boats the past two years. They have been great. Really looking forward to the 24 ft. Mine still is sitting in the shop. I'm really itching to get it out! Did you have any problems with Dick Lanes?

No issues that would prevent me from buying again. Really appreciated the Willie guy that did the walk through with us. Mark, the owner seemed to be a very real person and applied no pressure. Would have had to upgrade my truck for the 24' but we are looking for Lake property now so looks like that is where the difference in price will go. Cheers.

A little overkill, 2016 F350 dually, but it's because it doubles as my 5th wheel towing vehicle.

@Rainmakr How does the Tacoma do towing? I've considered trading my SS in on one of those a few times, but it seems Toyota sure is proud of those trucks!

Here's the SS and the new AR190 we just got. Not the best picture, but it shows them both. I'll get a better one whenever I happen to have them both cleaned up and attached to each other again.

@2kwik4u, no trouble at all towing it with the Tacoma. On the way home from Georgia I averaged about 14 mpg going around 65 mph. I have a scangauge in the truck and monitor transmission temperature as well. Temps stayed below 170 degrees.
I would definitely recommend getting a Tacoma with the stock transmission cooler.
