'20 195 Deluxe vs. '19 190 Sport

[adrianp89]

Looking at two boats, both used. Besides obvious differences like engine and tower.... what else is different? Anything I should pay extra attention to mechanically?

I found 3 differences:

1. Tower vs Bimini
2. Engine high output vs super charged
3. Bow seat in a Deluxe that can be added to a Sport ($500 this past summer)
4. The towing weight varies between models.

Hope this helps,

Tom

Personally for my use, I would pick the 195 Deluxe over the 190 Sport.

Aside, from the higher horsepower engine, I like the ability to install a Fishmaster Pro Series Folding T-Top on the Deluxe, as the boat would then likely fit in my garage without having to unbolt the factory T-Top on the Sport. I will add that I prefer the Scarab 195 Open over the Yamaha 190/195 FSH. The Scarab T-Top is a folding top. The one thing I don't like about the Scarab, however, is the smaller (31 gallon) fuel tank.

How many hrs on each? Both used in saltwater I presume? Check the condition (and presence) of the anode.

130 vs 110, 110 I think mostly salt, 130 mostly fresh with some salt. I am leaning towards the Deluxe. It is a bit more complicated to buy though (further way, still has a loan with Yamaha)
