Welcome. I don't have any experience with either of those boats. But good luck with your search.

Welcome aboard. . . . . . . My only advice is getting the biggest boat you can reasonably afford as it will save you money in the long run. Otherwise you will be upgrading again real soon.

Welp, I just found out you cannot even buy or register the AR195 in California!! Emissions on the Supercharger. Really bummed. Wanted 19ft as it fits in my garage. Maybe I'll just keep my 165 for now :(

That's a bummer. It's probably too soon to be able to find a used one and bring it into California too.
